Time doesn’t heal emotional pain, you need to learn how to let go. - Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart
One
of the first things that an individual needs to do to become mentally strong is
to let go of the past. Hurts and pains
are different for each individual and if those painful memories are not dealt
with, they will prevent the reader from moving forward.
As
the author mentioned in early 2021, she had a coach at work that had a major
impact on her life. Over the months the
author was talking with her coach, a couple times the coach told the author she
needed to take time to write letters to different people that hurt her. By physical writing the letters, the hurtful
words and memories would be released allowing the author to move on. After the letters were written, she needed to
burn them as a symbol the past was being burned and opening the door to move
forward on her journey. It took the
author a couple weeks, but she finally spent an hour on a Sunday afternoon
writing letters to a few people she was hurt by and then burned them. Once she did, she felt a release and a weight
lifted off of her.
We don't realize how excess stuff draws on our energy until it's
removed. - Mary Vraa, PopUpPurge(TM) Release Midlife Clutter & Reclaim
Inner Clarity
A
couple days after this, the author was called by someone and one of the first
statements that caller said was, “I have something to tell you that is going to
make you mad”. When the caller finally
got to what was going to make the author mad, she heard what the situation was
and then remained quiet for a moment.
Then the author said, “No, I am not going to let that bother me. I forgave him and burned the past on
Sunday. I am moving on.” This was a major step for the author and an
important one. If we allow the past to
continually bring us down, we will never accomplish our dreams.
This
is not something that we only do for pain and hurt from 10, 15 or 20 years
ago. Release of any hurtful words or
memories can be done daily to help the reader move on with their life. Write down the situation and release the
matter as the paper burns.
ACTION: Think about the
people that have said hurtful things that you have held on to for a long time. Take time to write letters this week and get
all of the hurt and pain on paper and then BURN IT. The past is gone and it is time to move
forward to move closer to your dreams.
