Take Some Time To Take Care Of Yourself

Most of us are so busy with our jobs and daily living that we rarely stop and think about taking care of ourselves.

It is amazing the number of people who find that, no matter how much they have in terms of physical stuff, they are still not happy! That is because they are still emotionally unfulfilled!

What is that thing that can leave us feeling emotionally incomplete?

Most of us carry around inside a great deal of “unfinished business” in our emotional relationships. We do this, for the most part, because no one ever taught us how to deal with the emotional matters that we face on a daily basis. This unfinished business is not just related to those relationships that have ended, due to death or estrangement, although those feelings of loss can be overwhelming! It can also be related to ongoing relationships with both those we like or love, and even those with whom we deal with through our jobs.

“Unfinished business,” from an emotional standpoint, involves those things we wish might be, or have been, different, better, or more in any relationship. It might be unmet hopes and dreams that never came to be. Sometimes it is about getting something, on an emotional level, from someone who was never able to provide that type of support.  This may be because that person died, or because they simply could not or would not provide it.

Whatever the reason, that sense of being emotionally incomplete can leave us feeling wanting.  In a very real sense, it leaves us feeling a sense of grief!

Most of us grew up thinking that grief was the emotion that we experienced after the death of someone who touched our life. In truth, grief is something we feel whenever we are forced to deal with any unexpected or unwanted change in our daily living. When we have anything that hits us emotionally, in a less than positive way, feelings of grief can be generated.

Sadly, most of us have been taught to discount our feelings of sadness and suppress them.  That does not make them go away! Instead, we hold them deep inside, never realizing how they keep our hearts closed and impact our vitality. Instead of processing those feelings, we continue to hold them inside and they accumulate over our lifetime. The more we accumulate these painful feelings in our hearts, the less room we have for true happiness!

How can you take action to deal with emotional pain?

The Grief Recovery Method is all about taking action to deal with the unfinished business in emotional relationships. This is certainly a method of action to follow when you lose someone to death or estrangement, but it is also extremely effective in improving ongoing relationships as well. This approach will help you to discover exactly what it is that is unfinished for you so that you can take the necessary steps to become “emotionally complete.” It is designed to help you safely sort through all of those feelings of emotional pain that you have stuffed inside and deal with them in a positive way, so that they no longer negatively impact your life.

While that might sound involved and complex, that is anything but the case. The Grief Recovery Method is a step-by-step guide to dealing with the unfinished business in both relationships lost as well as ongoing ones. I will walk you through this process, hand in hand, not only explaining each step, but also outlining how to take each step. I will help you start this “journey to recovery” by helping you to explore the “misinformation” that most of us learned, at an early age, about how to suppress these feelings of emotional pain, that have made it so difficult to effectively deal with our daily grief. I will then walk you through the necessary steps to taking positive action. It is in taking these relatively simple, but emotional, action steps that you can move out from under the shadow of all of that pain that you have carried inside for so long, and live a happier and fulfilled emotional life.

Does joy or happiness exists?

Why you can’t seem to find any joy in life.

Maybe you’ve experienced a ton of heartache in your life, maybe you feel hopeless about the future, or maybe you wonder why you can’t seem to find any joy in life.

If you’re reading this, you have probably had a realization about yourself or your life that have   elements of disappointments, sadness or longing that you are not where you once thought you’d be at this time in your life.  Maybe your dreams didn’t turn out as you had planned, or maybe you woke up one day & realized that you’ve put all your efforts into something that now doesn’t hold the same meaning for you. Maybe you’re mad or angry about things that you wish could have been different, better or more.  Maybe you experienced deaths, breakups, sexual abuse, or the feelings of crushing loneliness. Maybe these feelings were spurred by a devastating loss recently or maybe a long time ago. Maybe you’re not even sure what might be the cause of your feelings. Let the Grief Recovery Method help you discover what’s causing your source of discontentment and show you how to complete the emotional pain related to them.

Living with the pain of regrets and disappointments can leave you feeling like a victim to the outside circumstances that happened. Some people live with that pain forever. They spend their entire lives at the mercy of what happened. It’s easy to see why. When something tragic occurs, like the death of a loved one, divorce, romantic breakups, or sexual abuse they are a victim, but you don’t not have to remain a victim.  Imagine, what would it be like to get complete with those relationships, regrets and disappointments? Can you imagine living a life with that freedom?

Hopefully at some point you decide to search for help to heal your heart. Maybe that’s why you’re reading this now.

That willingness to move forward requires one small thing…accepting at least 1% responsibility for how you are going to move forward.

That doesn’t mean accepting responsibility for the actual loss. In most cases you were powerless over what happened. But at some point, after the event, whether it’s 6 months or two years, you might decide that it’s time to look into how you can empower yourself to walk through your emotional pain.

Just 1% responsibility to move forward is the key to opening a door and changing your life. All that means is you:

  • Acknowledge that a problem exists
  • Acknowledge that it’s associated with a loss or series of losses
  • Acknowledge that you need help

Willingness is the key to moving forward. Are you ready?
