Once I Hit a Certain Age...

How I plan to deal with my unprocessed trauma’s and heartache

• I Recognize the Trauma: I acknowledge that I’ve experienced trauma in my youth, it’s okay to feel the way I do and my feelings are valid.

• I Acknowledge My Feelings:I allow myself to feel and express my emotions, as suppressing them can prolong the healing process.

• I Build a Support System:I surround myself with friends and family who provide emotional support and understanding.

• Mindfulness and Meditation: I practice mindfulness to stay present and manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions.

• Self-Care: I prioritize self-care practices, including exercise, proper nutrition, and adequate rest, to support my physical and emotional well-being.

• Journaling: I keep a journal to express my thoughts and feelings, gain insight into my emotions, and track my healing progress.

• I Release Through Art or Creativity:I use my emotional creativity to make art, photographs, paintings, or write to channel and express my emotions.

• I Set Boundaries: I strive to establish healthy boundaries with triggers or situations that may worsen my trauma or grief.

• Forgiveness:I consider forgiveness as a path to release resentment and anger, but remember it’s a personal process.

• Time and Patience: I understand that healing takes time; I will be patient with myself and allow the process to unfold at its own pace.

I wish you all a beautiful, healthy, and self-loving New Year.
