Healing emotions takes a shift from thinking to actually feeling our emotions, and working them through. Feeling our feelings doesn’t actually take much time. What takes time is all the ways we avoid feeling our emotions and all the time we spend caught up in emotional reactions! Healing our emotions is not about thinking about them or avoiding them or reacting to them. These are all ways we slow down the process of healing emotions.

Moving on and healing after a breakup might sound like the same thing, but in reality, the journey of each one is a bit different. Moving on is simply making yourself feel better while healing your heart is more of an inner involvement within you.

Walking away from those we love can hurt, but we must accept that their part in our story has come to an end. Don’t force, don’t cling, don’t get reactive. Heartbreak hurts. There’s no mathematical formula or accurate step by step process that can make it go away or at least make it less painful. I wish I can pull out all the broken pieces of me on the inside and heal them with my bare hands, but I know that’s not how it works. We know that time can only fix everything that has been damaged inside of us. Learning when to walk away heals us. If we are strong enough to let go. We are strong enough to heal our broken hearts.

Protecting your peace means caring for and safeguarding your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self in ways that you define for yourself. Protecting your peace is a personal journey, where ultimately you make the decisions and set boundaries for yourself that you determine to be in your own best interests.

Love is one of the most elemental of emotions. It is a building block of some of our deepest relationships and a component in many of our happiest days. Yet the ability to freely give and receive love is a fragile skill, which traumatic experiences can all too easily dent or damage. Learning how to be loved is a vital part of your healing. It’s necessary!

You can’t punish people or yourself for mistakes you’ve made. We must forgive ourselves.

We transform as we unlearn because a conditioned mind cannot comprehend growth, contentment, resilience, realization of self awareness, emotional safety, peace, self love or healing. Quite frankly, the infinite.

Trauma is not stored in your thoughts and imagination. It's stored in the body and comes back in the body.

When we are unwilling to look deeply and courageously into our own lives, we can easily violate others in many subtle ways that we may not even be aware of.

You've made commitments to others, how about making a commitment to you! All you need to do is decide to keep going. Healing is truly a journey and everyday you're getting better. Believe that it's true even if you don't always see it. Healing isn't linear, it's a process and it's necessary.
