Our pain and discomfort begin early in life. We develop wounds that we don't see coming, and as we grow, we find more tools to deal with them. However, they never completely go away.

We grow and do different things with our pain: escape, repress, express, feel, and at some point, heal... That doesn't guarantee that the pain of that wound will never return to our lives. It seems like the healing trap: no matter how much we heal, there's always more to heal. This process never ends.

I dare say it doesn't end as long as we live.


As long as you live, you will always have something to heal. That's no excuse to give up or stop improving. Part of life is constant change and growth. If you accept this as a premise, you won't be disappointed when you find yourself once again experiencing the pain you thought you left in the past because you were healing.


It's important to be aware of our pain and recognize our wounds, not to excuse ourselves or hide behind them, but to recognize our shortcomings and learning points. Once you recognize your areas for improvement, it will be easier for you to move toward the evolution of what represents a weakness for you.


There is power in recognizing your pain and knowing better than anyone what your wounds are, what areas you need to work on. When you are aware of your weaknesses, you will be able to recognize them when they express themselves in your life from your unconscious.


When you experience a situation that overwhelms you, and you recognize the pattern in your life, you will be one step closer to biodecoding it and understanding why you are experiencing it again. You will understand that you are projecting it and will stop blaming others and life for what is happening to you.

 

If you avoid your pain, if you seek to evade your emotions and cover up your wounds with escapism or distractions, this wound won't go anywhere. It will continue to project itself and intensify in your life until you have the courage to see it.


Disconnecting from our pain and our wounds only brings more problems. It only makes our unpleasant experience replay itself once again with different scenarios and characters. It makes a painful experience repeat itself once more, and perhaps it screams louder in the hopes of being heard.


Everything you don't work on comes back to you. All the experiences you have in your life are there for a reason. Nothing is random. There is no such thing as bad luck. There is only causality and the perfect order of the universe, even in what you perceive as chaos.


That's why today I invite you to get in touch with your pain and recognize your wounds. So that when these unpleasant experiences arrive or are repeated, you can rely on the power of awareness and recognize your areas of opportunity.


This will give you an advantage in your healing and evolution process. If, when you encounter an unpleasant experience that makes you relive the pain of your wounds, you ask yourself: What part of me is projecting this? I assure you that you will be one step closer to advancing in your evolutionary process. If, on the other hand, you choose to skip self-analysis and focus on venting the pain externally, this unpleasant situation will repeat itself for you until you learn the lesson.


The lessons are repeated until the internal cause is addressed.

It doesn't matter how much you resist the external, how much you label a situation as unfair, or how much you victimize yourself in the face of it. The internal is the cause of all your problems and pain.


Your subconscious carries emotional wounds, which likely have their roots in your childhood. After feeling a certain pain and unconsciously identifying with it, your mind seeks to confirm the story it told itself. It does this automatically, unconsciously, which is why you probably say you don't want to experience the emotional pain you're going through. However, your subconscious is choosing it because it matches the story it told itself.


So basically, to move forward, what you must reconfigure is the story your subconscious told itself when those emotional wounds opened. You must reprogram the concept your subconscious has about yourself, your reality, and the kinds of things that happen to you, because that's what it unconsciously chooses.


To reprogram it, you must first recognize it. That's where your journey begins.


To answer the central question in a few short lines:


HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN THERE IS EMOTIONAL PAIN?


I'll summarize it as:


Recognizing and addressing the underlying pain.

If you dedicate yourself to paying attention and addressing the internal causes that generate your painful experiences instead of blaming external factors, you will stop repeating them.

If you choose to blame others, you will repeat it until you return to yourself. To address yourself in your pain, because that is the purpose of everything. That is why you are here.

Healing and learning from your pain is part of your mission on earth. That is why you are here.


PERSONAL NOTE TO YOU:


I know how difficult and painful it can be to deal with our emotional wounds. I've been there myself, many times. I want to tell you that there's no formula to make it stop hurting; what there is is the option to move forward, to get out of it. Even if sometimes you feel like there's no way out, there is. You can move forward, but it's not a linear process, so maybe at some point you feel like there's no progress, but there is. Think about the person you were 5 or 7 years ago. You're a different person now; you've overcome many things you never even imagined. And you can handle more! Don't give up. I know it can be painful and feel like a huge weight, but I promise you there is progress. Clarity will come, improvement will come, a better version of you will come. Just be resilient, keep moving forward in your process, do it for you. Because you deserve a better life, because you deserve good things, because you deserve emotional peace. You deserve every good thing to happen to you, but for that, you need yourself. You need yourself by your side. So, keep going, no matter how long it takes or how many times you stumble, always keep going, do it for yourself. I believe in you because I know that what you and I need to move forward in our lives are pure intentions and willpower, to move forward from a good place.


I believe in you and wish you much success on your journey.

Tell me about your experience with healing emotional wounds.

Tell me if you've felt any progress and how you recognized it.


Love, Mel.
