When you wake up sweating with fear from a nightmare and your heart is racing with anxiety – take a deep breath, remind yourself that nightmares tell you valuable things as well. How the nightmare played out, and especially how you felt during your nightmare, can tell you a lot about what you are focusing on during your days.
A nightmare can be a gentle reminder that it is very beneficial for you to work on your focus, your perspective of something that matters a lot to you. Unless you work on your perspective, nightmares and other reminders in the forms of more thoughts and emotions during your days regarding that topic will continue to come to you.
So, thank your body for the reminder and choose to use this reminder as a wake up call to work on changing your perspective and your focus during your days to a more optimistic, loving focus.
No matter what challenge you are faced with in your life, feeling panic, fear and anxiety about it will only stress your body further.
It is so vital and beneficial for you to make peace with it and change your perspective. And yes, it is always possible – it just takes a little time and practice.
The beautiful thing is, once you have made peace with it completely – it will all make sense, you will understand and see value in everything that happened as well.
Well, you can’t and you don’t have to 😊. Just make peace with how you feel about it. Make peace with feeling fear, make peace with feeling powerless. Make peace with feeling as you do. Your feelings are natural and normal reactions to unnatural circumstances and behavior.
Make peace with what happened to you. You can’t go back and change anything so you might as well make peace with it. It is what it is. But you can choose your perspective of it, and that will change how you feel about it. That is the key.
When your heart is racing with panic, you have only one job to do: sooth yourself. What you think and fear when you feel lost in your panic is not real, just shadows in your own mind. Breathe through it and trust that this too shall pass as you sooth yourself back.
Nothing matters more than how you feel. If you feel stressed, worried, anxious or any other unwanted emotion – go slower and sooth yourself more.
The rage you feel burning within you, might actually be your powerlessness and your shattered trust in humanity that needs to be soothed.
Be kinder to yourself and show your body that it is safe and loved, unconditionally. ❤️ You don’t heal yourself by condemning your rage, you heal by understanding that your rage is a sign that your body needs to be soothed. So, start soothing yourself. 🌹
No matter how many times you have been broken and shattered into a million pieces – you will heal if you allow it.
You are not caught in an eternal prison of doom and gloom just because you were abused. Give your body the time it needs to heal. It is ok to feel good again, it is ok to feel happy and excited about life again. You are allowed to feel really good again.
🌹You don’t know strength, until you experience the unbearable.
🌹You don’t know kindness until you forgive the unforgivable.
🌹And you don’t know peace until you find it in your heart to make peace with everything that happened. Completely. 🙏
The one who hurt you the most, who brought you to your knees and shattered all your sense of security – he gave you valuable gifts that no kind person could ever give you. His behavior inspired you to find your inner strength, fill your heart with kindness and sooth your body by making peace with everything.
