The Most Difficult Emotional Pain To Heal
Emotional pain is an invisible wound that takes time to heal. We all have wounds. Either way, far from seeing them as failures or signs of weakness – we must learn to acknowledge them and accept them as part of our essence.
Throughout our lives, we experience joyful moments as well as intense disappointments. No one is immune to suffering, but only a few are able to take hard moments as experiences and turn them into strength and immunization for the future.
You are neither a failure nor a loss that you have suffered. You are a person who can face adversities and keep moving forward, although we often need time to discover it. For emotional pain still reminds you of where the wounds are.
An emotional pain that nobody sees and that we all hide
You could say that there are two kinds of people in this life:
- People who interiorize their pain by dealing with it day after day with courage and self-reliance. They are strong personalities that cannot be overcome, and they hide all their emotional scars deeply as part of a learning and experience process.
- Others are those who have made a personal offense out of the emotional pain. They feel so hurt that it results in a malaise not only for personal but also for those around them. They stopped trusting themselves and all their relatives, seeing each day with increasing negativity.
It is customary to say that whoever has not suffered does not yet know what life really is. However, these extremes do not always have to be believed. Each of our lives lives with which we have to confront and face what fate brings.
Emotional pain is that inner wound that, if not handled properly, can cause serious illness. This phenomenon is called somatization.
More specifically, this means that any emotional problem that is not properly resolved causes our entire body to suffer, until ailments begin to emerge. The following are the most common:
- migraines
- tension headaches
- problems with the musculoskeletal system
- stomach pain
- indigestion
- insomnia
- anxiety
- dizziness
- nausea
How is it possible that in today’s difficult and challenging times, the suffering and emotional pain that we usually feel in our thoughts and our emotional sphere also affect our physicality?
This is inevitable because we are an integral whole. However, this does not mean that you should submit yourself to emotional suffering entirely. Life goes on and we still deserve a calm breath and hope for a better tomorrow!
Today you will learn some tips on how to achieve this:
How Can I Control Emotional Pain?
You have the right to cry and feel angry
- We are living creatures, so we should learn to channel our emotions. Do not listen to those who take the words: do not cry, forget everything as good advice, because nothing really happened.
- How many times have you tried to downplay or turn away from what has hurt you? Never do that again. You need to look your enemy in the face and understand why he has caused you so much pain. In order to close a stage and leave it in the past, it is necessary to understand and not run away from the problem.
- When you feel anger and anger, crying is a kind of outlet, necessary and even beneficial to your health. This reaction is called release and emotional cleansing, but should only last for a short time.
- If someone does not get rid of negative emotions and accumulates everything in himself, in the long run it can lead to serious health consequences
- Emotional release should be timely and should not last more than two weeks . If you start crying for months and your negative mood only grows, you may become depressed.
You have the right to put yourself first
You not only have the right, but it is your responsibility – to put yourself first and manifest your needs and wants.
- Do you need more time for yourself? Take the time off and give yourself a few weeks.
- Do you want to feel needed? Make your own decisions and set new goals that will fill you with new motivation to act.
- Do you want to feel happy? It is a time to reflect and make new decisions.
Stop ‘finding yourself’! The time has come to “rediscover”
We spend most of our lives finding ourselves, and for many this is a priority. Now that you have gained experience, you have come through this stage, and you have gained a new lesson through your emotional pain, it’s time to rediscover yourself!
- You know what you are like! Now it’s time to ask yourself: what kind of person do you want to be? Brave? Confident? Someone who is able to achieve your dreams?
- To rediscover ourselves, we need new hopes and motivation. It’s never too late to make changes, catch that train that we once let go.
- Surround yourself with people who encourage and help you develop your personal development. Instead, avoid those that lower your self-esteem and block your evolution.
Emotional pain can be overcome with new hopes, strong motivation and mobilization to act. Those inner wounds that no one sees heal very slowly, but whether we like it or not, they hurt less every day!
