Do Not Rush The Healing
filed in Grieving Process on May 29, 2007
Being patience is probably the most difficult task at hand when you are attempting to heal from the losses and emotional pain that can occur as a result of a breakup. You may expect yourself to be further along than you are. You may beat up on yourself, when you obsessing about your ex-partner wondering what he/she is doing. Or cry and feel lonely on a weekend when you are alone. Try to resist this negative self-talk.
Now is the time to yield into the present moment and trust that the process of letting go of the past is taking place. Healing does occur when we allow and accept what is there, not try to push it away. This is contrary to what you might want to do. But, I can tell you from first hand experience what you resist will persist.
So stop and name the feeling, take a deep breath and give yourself an emotional hug. You will then be able to move on with your day with an open heart fully present for the next moment. If you shut down the difficult feelings you will be shutting down the joyful ones.
