Can you identify with this regarding your experience?

The premise underlying any unpleasant experiences islearning to accept our thoughts, which neutralizes our pain and suffering.

Have you experienced this before of not inhabiting your body but controlled by your thoughts and emotions?

Can you see where Im coming from?

Our long-term wellbeing should take priority over feeling good in the meantime.

When we heal, we align with our authentic nature instead of being governed by fleeting thoughts and emotions.

Healing is a journey into oneself to discover the true essence of who we are.

It is not meant to be a pleasant experience and sometimes can be more painful than the initial wounds.

Sometimes, it is difficult because we may not be ready for what lies ahead.

Heres the good and bad news: No one has their affairs in order.

Im yet to meet a single person free of emotional wounds and whose thoughts are peaceful and harmonious.

If you sense resistance to what Im saying, put the advice into practice.

Do the healing work and test the strength of my statements.

Non-acceptance is resistance, and as you know, what we resist persists.

Even unfortunate experiences can teach us valuable lessons about ourselves.

Had I resisted those experiences; I may not be here to write these words on your screen.

But I trusted life.

I trusted the experiences were fundamental to my souls evolution.

I mention this to illustrate how tragedy and loss can be turned into enriching experiences for our greater growth.

Returning to the question I asked you in the first paragraph.

What is behind your resistance?

What are you choosing not to see?

What are you believing about this?

Is it serving you?

Who would you be without the story?

What does the vulnerable place within you want you to know?

What does it need you to understand?

Go deeper into the core of your being to discover why these experiences are affecting you.

It is once we accept all that is that we find true freedom to be ourselves once more.
