This post is going to be longer than my other posts, but I hope you stick around until the end.
Thought of the day: Mental Health. 7 years ago, I made the choice to put myself first and started a healing journey I had no idea would put me on the path I am on today. I truly grasp the understanding of, "you can't fully love others, until you learn to love yourself." As humans there is always an internal battle with our ego and soul that our mind has trouble understanding. Our brain is like a computer in a sense of whatever you want it to do, it will do it. You can imagine this representation by picturing the infamous angel and devil on our shoulders contemplating decisions in our ears. We are all born with a blank canvas. As children, we only know what we are taught and shown. We are in our most innocent and vulnerable state as kids. Getting the help we need is anything but selfish or something to fear. If anything it is the most selfless act of love to fix the traumas that have unintentionally been passed down or the traumas we have unintentionally shared by different exchanges between individuals we cross paths with. These vicious cycles will never end and our world will never find peace unless we decide to make the needed change. More now than ever we need to wake up and look at what the world is becoming. It is in our most vulnerable state we find that childlike innocence again. Yes it's scary to look at our own faults, but it beats the alternative of passing pain to the ones we say we love most. How do I know this? Because I've gone and faced some of the darkest areas of my soul. The moment I saw how I contributed to the pain of others, I made a vow to myself to show up and be the best version I could be. Do I have days where it's harder than others? ABSOLUTELY! Are there days I feel like I want to be selfish because it's easier overall, YUP! But then I think about my loved ones,especially our younger generations. They are our future! As adults, it's not about us anymore. It's about the bigger picture of breaking the cycles and chains of which we've been bound for so long. I promise you are not alone. If you don't feel like you can reach out to anyone, I'm here and will guide you to the help you are looking for. It takes a lot of courage to admit you need help. I used to think I was weak. If anything it makes you strong. I also want to recognize the men in our society willing to do the work. Men have always been made to see emotions as a weakness. You are human too and your emotions are incredibly valid. I see you.
Challenge of the day: Think back to a time you were at your lowest. Now ask yourself, would you rather fix the reason you felt so low or would you rather pass it on to your loved ones? It's not a quick or easy process, but you are perfectly imperfect in the eyes of our mighty creator. Our creator, of whom I call God, found me and gave me peace in so many areas of my life I was lacking it. As you begin to heal, you will begin to feel something tug on your heart strings. That's when you will be ready for the spiritual part. But that shall wait for a different day. Much love and many blessings.🙏🏼- Healer4Love💜
