Hi everyone, today’s topic is “How Will You Know When You’re Healing?” Now, this journey is not a quick fix; it’s not a silver bullet. So, some of the things that you will notice as you’re going along on this journey are like markers to see that you’re doing well. These can vary on different days, depending on factors like stress. Therefore, the importance of prioritising our own self-care first.
Here are a few markers to recognise your progress on this journey:
- You become less sensitive to the rejection of others. It doesn’t sting as much, or you get over it more quickly.
- You can recognise and dismantle triggers. Understanding that triggers aren’t external but internal, you seek support if needed to work through them and take responsibility for dismantling them to prevent spiraling down.
- You respect others’ boundaries and set and hold your own. Setting a boundary is effective only when you have the infrastructure and scaffolding to hold it consistently.
- You are more in control of your own emotions, prioritising your emotional well-being as a top value. Taking care of your emotions through established strategies and lifestyle choices is crucial to maintaining balance.
- You are learning to be more balanced and controlling of your emotions, practicing self-love through daily rituals, time with friends, fun activities, rest, and meditation.
By incorporating these practices into your daily life, you aim to maintain emotional sobriety, enabling you to enjoy life more and feel more fulfilled. I hope this information is helpful. Thank you for your time today.
