Life can sometimes be like a roller coaster ride. There are ups and down, joy and sorrows. The next time you experience life's harsh side, such as a job loss, separation or divorce, prolonged illness or the death of a loved one, do take time to heal your hurt.
Here are some suggestions that I hope will help you.
• Take the time to heal the hurt. The struggle is real. Avoid the temptation to ignore or escape from it. By taking time to accept the pain is the way to recover from it. Covering it up may only resurface later in a potentially more serious way.
• Take time to slow down or grieve. Cry when you need to. You have every reason to weep when you are hurt. It is the cleansing process.
• Take the time to be vulnerable. A crisis may have occur into your life. If you broke an arm, you would not expert to function at full capacity immediately. If your heart is broken and spirit is hurting, there will be confusion, overwhelm, feeling of despair. These are a normal part of adjusting to life's blow.
After you have gone through the above process, move on to the next level, that of healing.
• Take time to identify resources. Seek out people who can help and guide you. A coach, mentor, counsellor or compassionate friends.
• Take the time to care for your health. During a stressful time be sure to look after your well-being. Eat healthy food, exercise, pray and sleep well.
• Take time to be patient. God has given us capacity to heal, at times, it may take longer than you expected. Be patient. The flow of life will return to it's normal pace.
Remember, it is perfectly okay to cry when you need to, however, never forget that YOU are special and beautiful within you. God loves you! You are worthy and wonderfully made!
