Week 5: Learn to let go.
Last
time we looked at how self-love must start on the inside, you can read that
post HERE. Today
I want to talk about letting go of old emotions.
I’m
one of the world’s worst for holding on to things from my past. I’ll admit that
I’m getting better with age, and having a background in holistic health has
certainly steered me down the right route, however, when our past is still
impacting on our present then something needs to be done.
If
you are a regular reader of my blog, you
will have spotted the occasional post about my invisible illness and subsequent
depression and anxiety. These are ongoing issues that I deal with in a variety
of ways. Yesterday, for instance, I had my first EMMETT treatment, and it blew me away.
Today,
I have woken up feeling human again – it’s been two years since I felt ‘normal.' A recurring theme that came up during
my treatment was the tension in my neck, shoulders, and back (represents support
issues). As a single parent to three teenage children,
I guess it’s inevitable that I can feel unsupported on a day-to-day basis.
I’m
sure many of you can recall a time when you tried to either ‘fix’ a friend or
relative instead of sorting out your own health/emotional issues. I’m great in
a crisis and can advise anyone on the perfect course of action, but if I need
to turn that support around, I’m often unable to help myself.
The
illness and depression have taught me to abandon
any hope of being in control. It’s a doomed mission! Instead, I choose to be
positive no matter what is thrown at me, and do you know what happens when I
take this attitude? I started the process of healing.
