Healing is important to your mental health and wellness.  Navigating through challenging times is not easy.  Unfortunately, we cannot predict what will happen from one day to the next.  There will be good days and there will be bad days.  For some, it may seem like there are more bad days than good days.  The good part is, the bad days don’t last forever, no matter how long the days may seem.  If you let life challenges destroy your happiness and peace of mind, you could become depressed.  If the sadness is extended for a long period of time, it can lead to depression.  Depression is not a safe place to be, mentally, because it destroys your motivation for living beyond your circumstances. 

​

To stay motivated about living a better life, try to shift your mindset to thinking more about your happiness and less about your challenges.  Think about the actions you need to take to start feeling better about your situation.  Control what you can control.  Seek help in the areas that you cannot control.  Be patient with yourself and the processes in life.  Getting to happiness is a process, it will require you to take the steps that are necessary for you to heal and feel whole.  

 

Healing is not an easy process, because if forces you to have to face the reality of what you are going through; and more importantly it forces you to face the reality of what you have to do about what you are going through.  When you are on your healing journey, you will have to ask yourself two very important questions: Do I like feeling the way that I am feeling now?  What am I going to do about how I feel?  Make an action plan, set goals that you can accomplish, and work towards achieving them until you get there. 

 

Your healing is not only for you, your healing is also for the betterment of the world around you.  When each person in the world heals from whatever experiences that caused them to feel depressed or broken, just think about how much better we would treat and appreciate each other.
