Do you often feel like you’re drowning in your own thoughts and emotions, like there’s a whirlwind inside of you, but you can’t let it show on the outside?
Sharing emotions is okay, but if you’re not comfortable with that just yet, try self-healing instead. Here’s how you can go about it.
Accept That You’re Not Okay
Do you keep telling people that you’re fine, even though deep down, you know you’re not okay? It’s time to change that.
You can’t start the healing process until you accept that you’re hurting. It can be uncomfortable at best and heart-wrenching at worst, but it’s crucial to identify the hurt you’re feeling. It’s also okay to let people around you know that you’re not feeling your best.
Whether it’s support or space, start asking for what you need to heal instead of telling everyone that you’re fine.
Put Yourself First and Make Self-Care A Priority
Self-care isn’t something that you occasionally do after a massive breakdown; it’s something that should be on your to-do list all the time. Most people go all out for others, but they fail to do the same regarding themselves and their mental health. Stop self-sabotaging your healing process, and start putting yourself first when you need to, and don’t blame yourself for it.
Also, have a daily, weekly, and monthly self-care schedule in place. Here’s how you can go about it:
- Daily: Do one thing every day that’s just for you. This could be something as simple as sitting by yourself in radio silence or singing at the top of your lungs in an hour-long bath.
- Weekly: Reflect on your past week and do everything you wanted to do but couldn’t do due to other commitments.
- Monthly: Give yourself a spa day or Netflix and fast food-binging weekend. Do whatever brings you joy and relaxation.
Build A Therapeutic Habit
From gardening to journaling, listening to soothing music, or crocheting, there are so many therapeutic activities you can incorporate into your daily life. Most of these are things that don’t require a lot of brain power and allow you to be alone with your thoughts for a bit. Additionally, just completing tasks like nurturing a plant or completing a crochet scarf can give you a sense of satisfaction and happiness, leading to a little self-healing.
Another thing you can try to heal on the inside is hypnosis, like what we offer in Pittsford, NY. It can help with many things; for instance, it can help with stress management, or you can also try self-hypnosis for anxiety. Sometimes when problems are addressed at a subconscious level through hypnosis, it can lead to self-healing as well.
