WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST PAIN?

Of all the things you've been through, what is the biggest pain you've ever had? What is it that marked you forever? What situations made you feel like life was never the same after that? Did this pain quickly come to your mind? Is it easy to recognize it or does it take you time to delve into your memories? Are you able to look right at it and face it or do you normally avoid it?

What changed in you after experiencing that pain?

What person did you become after that?

Do you feel proud of who you are or do you feel ashamed of it?

Acknowledging your pain is as important as recognizing what you are proud of. 

When we experience traumatic situations we can take different reactions, one of them is to omit the memory of pain, as a defense mechanism. The risk of avoiding it is that we never end up confronting it and we always leave it stored away, accumulating. One drop per day getting stored away in the glass until we overflow emotionally.

It is important to face pain and uncomfortable situations. To take the lesson that pain leaves us, we must look it in the eyes. If there is something that makes you a lot of noise and you have been avoiding it, I recommend that you review it and give it the space it deserves. The things you keep just stay there. What allows you to evolve and transform into a better version is that you learn from what happened to you, that you transform your wounds into healing and your pain into strength.

Review your pain, especially what is most difficult for you because that is what you have to work on the most. If you don't know where to start, start searching for information on the topic. In this era we have a lot of information available, if you have access to the internet and you are not looking to improve in that area that affects you, it is certainly because you don't want to and not because you can't.

So embark on your own search for the truth, seek your own healing, find out about the consequences of what happened to you and try different things to discover what works best for you. You are responsible for your own healing. No matter what you bring with you, that pain from yesterday or 40 years ago, you are always responsible for transforming it.

If you never dare to acknowledge your pain, it will just stay stored there and continue to come out from time to time, even if you are not aware of it. It will continue to break into your daily life, until you deal with it.

Have the courage to look your pain in the eyes.

Transform it into power.

Make your pain a strength.

Love, Mel.
