If you do, it may begin to feel like it will always be like that. This may then shape your perception about everything else.
But, it is not true.
There are no hopeless situations for a child of God.
Now, I am not asking you to "man up" or pretend like everything is fine. No.
But I am saying you need to allow your healing and recovery process to start. Do not postpone your healing or recovery to a future date or till a future occurrence. Do not leave it to chance. And please, do not make it another person's responsibility.
Start your healing now.
Give yourself a healing period - as much time as you need - 14days, 21days, 30days, etc. But be definite.
Plan a small event to celebrate your healing on the final day. It could be a solo-event or with your closest friends.
From day one, plan different activities towards your healing such as time to think, ask questions, write, cry.
Do what you have to do; delete some things, block contacts, burn or trash some stuffs, etc.
But ensure you do something daily.
As you move towards the middle days, cut off the external hold on you. Stop the blame game. Let the bulk end on your table. Drop the idea of revenge. Put away the malice, ill-speaking, the envies, comparison, guile, lies, fabrications, assumptions and bad blood. Just let it go for the sake of your sanity.
But be careful. Do not turn the knife on yourself. Don't start to blame yourself.
Apologize to yourself.
Forgive yourself too.
Decide that there is a way forward even if you don't know it yet. But make up your mind that your story will be a success story too.
As you enter the final days of your healing, open up the doors to new opportunities and possibilities. Observe nature and people with new light. Be open to the next. To ready to welcome the new.
And dare to believe that the new, the next will be better and it will be permanent. Dare to believe it.
Remember that your circumstances or status do not need to change for you to change attitude and be happy. Your smile does not depend on your bank account.
On the final day, even if you still do not feel like it, go ahead and do as planned. Celebrate your healing. Your feelings may be late to the party but it will catch up.
The prepare table are for those who passed through the valley of the shadow of death. There is a feast for you ahead.
Bible says;
"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."
Psalms 23:4-5 NIV.
One last thing. Even though you have gone through the healing you will still see the scars. Do not be ashamed of your scars. Every time you remember, see something or bump into it - just remind yourself that it is your bragging right that you went through the valley of shadows. You earned your seat at the feast.
So don't remain in the valley of shadows. Walk through it and join the feast.
Happy New Month!
Blessings more and more.
