What is healing and how do you know if you’re actually doing it right? Or at all?
Healing is the process of “growing sound; getting well; or mending”. This can happen on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level–and healing is different for everyone so there is no “right” way to do it. But here are eleven signs that you are healing;
-
You have more good parts of your day than bad; we all have ups and downs in our day. This is totally normal and helps you process life–choose some healthy ways to deal with these up/down moments.
-
You realize that bad situations are only temporary; even when you have a really bad day you realize that this is a temporary situation. Tomorrow is another day.
-
You are making healthier eating habits; the way you treat your body is a reflection of how you feel internally. When you feel better about yourself on the inside you start treating yourself better on the outside by feeding yourself nourishing foods.
-
You make sleep a priority
-
You recognize when you need space and you give yourself that space
-
You set healthy boundaries and surround yourself with good people
-
You speak kindly about your body
-
You nourish your mind
-
You are able to honor and release your negative emotions
-
You understand that what people say about you is a reflection of their own insecurity
-
You continually look for ways to be happier and healing
