How To Deal With Emotional Pain

It took me years to master this simple wisdom.

We all encounter times in our lives where we are hurt and disappointed by someone we love and truly care about.

Disappointments lead to Emotional Pain.

I am a sensitive person so it was very easy for me to get hurt, it took me 11 years to learn this simple technique.

I hope this helps you to learn and adapt the wisdom on pain faster.

Let The Pain Hurt You.

Let it hurt you. Let it haunt you. Let it be the reason that upsets you.

Make peace with what hurts you. Try being friends with the pain.

Not best friends. But friends that you kindly smile at when passing them by but never spend money or your time with.

You allow their existence in your life from far, you know they exist, you know they are there, you let them be but you never entertain.

That is one way of acceptance of a painful situation and one way of dealing with the pain.

How to apply:

The pain never goes away unless you accept its presence and deal with it.

Pain is like an uninvited guest, it will knock on your door and you have to welcome and you need to treat it with love and gentleness for your own sake.

Instead of perceiving yourself as a victim and letting your pain take control to torture you, you can choose to accept that you’re hurting and that time will heal.

You will need to remind yourself constantly that Time will Heal. It is a passing low phase.

With time the pain doesn't get stronger or weaker but you get stronger.

The pain will lose its value in front of your stronger and wiser self and that is how time works.

Time allows you to grow into a stronger being.

Practice Mindful Breathing.

Be patient with yourself and with the pain.

There will come a time when you feel as if you’re healed, then the pain comes back to knock you down.

Do not be afraid when that happens and forgive yourself for falling over.

Life runs in phases and sometimes we are in a vulnerable phase for the past pain to attack us.

You can try mindful breathing to adapt to those setbacks with ease.

Mindful breathing means breathing consciously. When you take a breath with awareness, you will breathe-in more than you unconsciously do.

Your energetic state changes when you breathe mindfully and that gives you the power to control yourself from falling over pain.

Self-Care Helps

Choose to treat yourself to a great movie that you love or good food or even a long hot shower.

Make mental notes on what according to you is self-love and self-care activities that you can treat yourself to.

For me, peacefully reading or painting is self-care. My self-love is good food with a great movie. I treat myself with self-care tasks when I am going through those emotional phases of pain.

Know what brings you peace so you can practice more of what is healthy for your soul. This helps in dealing with the pain and accepting it easily.

Remember, the pain won’t go away but you will become the bigger person while the pain will lose its value in front of your strength.

The takeaway, Which self-care routine can you adapt in your life to create a life more peaceful and loving for yourself?

Lots of love! Namaste!
