5 Recovery Tips to Healing Emotionally :)
Emotional healing is just as important as taking care of a cut. What do you do when you cut yourself? You rinse it, you put hydrogen peroxide on it, then Neosporin ,then you put a bandaid on it (bonus for a cute one), and then you leave it alone. Same for emotional healing.
-Let go of rejection. Rejection actually activates the same pathways in your brain as physical pain, which is one reason why it hurts so much. The reason we hate rejection is because we crave to “belong”. Sooner you let that go , the sooner your mental health will be better. { This is the rinsing part of your healing. }
-Quit Ruminating!!!!!! Quit forcing yourself to relive the same pain over and over again. It just creates more anger, sadness, or anxiety. Whatever the emotion is tied to the PAST pain without any insight. While reflecting on a painful event can help you to reach an understanding or closure about it, ruminating simply increases your stress levels. { This is the hydrogen peroxide part of your healing. }
-Turn Failure into Accomplishment. If you allow yourself to feel helpless after a failure, or blame it on your lack of ability or bad luck, it’s likely to lower your self-esteem. Blaming a failure on specific factors within your control, such as planning and execution, is likely to be less damaging, but even better is focusing on ways you can improve and be better informed so you can succeed next time. { This is the Neosporin part of your healing. }
-Make Sure Guilt Remains a Positive Emotion. Guilt can be beneficial in that it can stop you from doing something that may harm another person (making it a strong “relationship protector”), but too much obsession of guilt can prevent you from enjoying things in life. If you still feel guilty after apologizing for a wrongdoing, be sure you have expressed empathy toward them, which will likely lead to forgiveness. { This is the bandaid of your healing. }
-Use Self-Affirmations if You Have Self-Esteem Issues. While positive affirmations are excellent tools for emotional health, if they fall outside the boundaries of your beliefs, they may be ineffective. This may be the case for people with low self-esteem, for whom self-affirmations may be more useful. Self-affirmations, such as “I have a great work ethic,” can help to reinforce positive qualities you believe you have.
