Is Emotional Pain Real?

Chances are very high that you have experienced some kind of pain in life as a human being on this earth. Have you ever experienced emotional pain? Is emotional pain real?
 
Emotional pain is most definitely real. Research has shown that there is no difference in the areas of your brain that are engaged whether you are experiencing physical or psychological/emotional pain.
 
So, you may be wondering where does emotional pain come from? Let’s discuss the answer to that question next.
 
Where does emotional pain come from?
 
Emotional pain is often felt due to how you process other people’s behavior and actions, towards you, your unmet expectations, regrets from the past, and any kind of grief or loss that you experience.
 
Next, let’s discuss whether you can rescue yourself from your emotional pain?

Can You Rescue Yourself From Emotional Pain?

You can most definitely rescue yourself from your emotional pain. There is nothing that you cannot do. You are connected to your creator who is very powerful and you have the same power within you.
 
Pain is an inevitable part of the human experience, but it doesn’t have to define you. It is very much possible for you to be your hero and rescue yourself from emotional pain because you are a powerful, divine, and wise soul.
 
Here are eight ways to rescue yourself from emotional pain.

Acceptance

Acknowledge and accept pain is going to be a normal part of your life and that it is okay for you to feel emotional pain and work on it rather than suppressing it with addictions or running away from it.  Create your own path to healing.

You are on this earth right now to grow and serve others. Challenges and pain help you grow. Your growth is on the other side of the challenges and pain that you learn to conquer. When you grow and become bigger and better you can serve other people in a bigger and better way.

Self-compassion

Practice self-compassion, kindness, and understanding and be gentle with yourself just like you would offer a dear friend as you begin to rescue yourself from pain.
 
It is okay to slow down if you are feeling pain at the moment and know that there are lessons for you to learn. Recognize pain is not weakness. It’s an opportunity for growth and self-discovery.
 
Embrace self-care practices that nourish your mind, body, and soul like meditation, yoga, and journaling.
 
Take some time to be quiet and ask yourself why am I feeling this way? what thoughts am I thinking? what are my beliefs? what is my perception? what is the identity that I am holding on to that is leading me to feel this pain? Act this way?
 
Your destiny and everything that you experience is derived from your identity, beliefs, thoughts, feelings, words, actions, attitude, and habits. Start by changing one thought at a time and move forward and don’t rush your healing journey. 

Get Support

If you feel that you need to speak to someone then seek support. Reach out to friends, family, or a therapist.
 
It’s important to surround yourself with a support system that uplifts you. Sharing your pain with someone you trust can be liberating. Remember, you are not alone in this journey.
 
It’s okay to take care of yourself and work on your pain.  Your mental/emotional health does matter. You matter and are not here as an accident.
 
You feeling better is beneficial for your family, society, and anyone that you are meant to serve. You deserve to live your ideal purposeful life.
 
When you are not okay everybody around you will suffer by feeling and being in your energy. Please make sure you take the time to take care of yourself.

Discover Your Passion

Identify what you are passionate about and what gives you joy and do that more often. Engaging in activities that ignite your passion and bring you joy can be a transformative experience.
 
Explore new hobbies, volunteer for causes you care about, or learn new skills.

Visualize Pain-Free Future

Visualize your pain-free future every single day and possibly twice a day. Visualization is a powerful tool for manifesting the life you desire. The more you visualize the more you will attract it towards you.
 
Picture your vision, purpose, and goals all fulfilled. Picture yourself living your ideal day, life and having fun with your family and friends.
 
Create a vision board that represents your dreams and goals. Visualize yourself stepping into a future when you have transcended your pain.
 
By focusing on the positive and envisioning a brighter future, you will attract opportunities and experiences that align with your vision.

Forgive

Forgive yourself for any mistakes that you made in the past that might be still causing you emotional pain. Learn lessons and grow from your mistakes. Forgive others if they have also caused you pain. 
 
Forgiveness is not condoning the actions that caused your pain; it’s liberating yourself from their hold, allowing you to move forward with grace and peace.
 
Choose to release these negative emotions and free yourself from their grip. Holding onto resentment and anger only weighs you down.
 
When you do not forgive you carry pain and negativity in your body that can turn into a health issue and block your abundance and guidance.

Practice Gratitude

Practice gratitude every single day because it can change, shift and raise your energy right away. Everybody has lots of things to be grateful for.
 
Gratitude raises your energy and aligns you to who you are which is well-being, peace, love, and compassion, and not anger, jealousy, frustration, pain, and disease. 
 
Whenever you find yourself feeling painful emotions start thinking of all the things you’re grateful for and start feeling better right away.

Discover Your Purpose

Discover what your purpose and unique gifts are and spend your energy on fulfilling them. Connecting with your purpose will help you find the strength to overcome your pain.
 
Serve someone every day whether it’s someone in front of you or via a call or a text. When you put your focus on your purpose and service of other people you will forget about your pain and as a result feel it less. You will be creating good Karma by serving others and you’ll begin to feel good. 

In conclusion, you now know that emotional pain is most definitely real. Research has shown that no difference in the areas of your brain is activated whether you are experiencing physical or psychological/emotional pain.
 
You also know that you can rescue yourself from pain by acceptance, self-compassion, getting support, discovering your passion, visualizing a pain-free future, forgiveness, gratitude practice, and discovering your purpose.
 
I hope you found these eight ways to rescue yourself enlightening and that you know without a doubt that you have the power within you to heal, grow and thrive.
 
Embrace your pain as a catalyst for transformation. You are stronger than you realize. Trust the process and believe that brighter days are ahead.

Can Your Behavior Ruin Your Life?

Can Your Behavior Ruin Your Life?

Can Your Behavior Ruin Your Life?

Most people think their circumstances determine the type of life that they live. That is not true at all you have been given the gift of free will and are responsible for creating the quality of life that you want to live while you are here on this earth. Can your behavior play a part in creating your ideal life? Can your behavior ruin your life?
 
Certain behaviors that are not aligned with the intentions and qualities of your soul and higher self can for sure ruin your life and prevent you from living your very best fulfilling and meaningful life.
 
Behavior, when repeated enough times, turns into automatic habits which then create your destiny.
 
So, what behavior specifically can potentially ruin your life? Let’s discuss that next.

Behaviors That Could Ruin Your Life

You are not here to live a miserable life however certain behaviors will keep you from living your ideal fulfilling life of purpose. Be aware of these behaviors and change them if you want to live well. Here below are the 10 behaviors that could ruin your life.

Negative Self-Talk

How you talk to yourself every single day is very important. If you say negative things about yourself that you would never say to a friend then your self-esteem, image, and confidence will be negatively impacted and prevent you from living your best life.
 
It will be hard for you to fulfill your purpose and chart your path in life without confidence. You will potentially suffer from imposter syndrome and think who I am to do this and have doubts and fears which will prevent you from taking the right actions toward the fulfillment of your purpose.
 
Know that you are here for a purpose otherwise, you would not be here right now. You matter and are enough just the way you are. You have the wisdom and ability to fulfill your purpose and so stop saying negative things about yourself based on societal rules and expectations. 

Being In Toxic Relationships

Your self-esteem, image, and confidence will also be affected if you are in toxic relationships. Choose to be around people who have faith in your abilities, believe in you, and cheer you on. Don’t be around toxic people, who constantly judge, and criticize you.
 
These toxic people are probably not on the path to fulfilling their purpose and they do not understand what you are doing. Remember not everybody has to understand your purpose. Your purpose is between you and your creator.

Procrastination

Procrastination happens because of fear and doubts. Don’t procrastinate when it comes to your growth and fulfillment of your purpose. You came on this earth to fulfill your soul’s calling and purpose and procrastination will prevent you from its fulfillment.
 
Remember you are here on this earth for a short time and not here forever and so act now and focus on growing and serving others. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. It is okay to make mistakes and learn from them.

Comparison

We live in a day and age where excessive scrolling on social media is very common. Everybody looks happy in their posts. Don’t compare yourself to others. You are not here to live their life.
 
If you see someone happy send them blessings but always remind yourself and know that you are on your path. You are here to fulfill your purpose and as long as you’re moving forward what everybody is doing does not matter.
 
Make sure you focus on your growth and getting better and wiser every single day so that you can serve your purpose in a bigger and better way. You have also been given unique gifts to fulfill your purpose.

Holding Grudges

Holding grudges will only harm you and nobody else.  Know that deep down inside we are all a soul with a body that is here for a reason.
 
We may forget how powerful we are, why we are here, error in our thoughts and behavior and be in pain.  This pain then causes us to inflict pain on others. Know that when a person is being mean that they are not okay and so send them blessings and forgive them. 
 
Forgive yourself for reacting because it’s okay for you to sometimes react.  You must move back to your inner peace, serenity, and natural well-being as soon as you can. Do not let the pain hold space within you and block good things, guidance, and abundance to come to you. 

Perfectionism

Perfectionism will keep you from living your ideal life and fulfilling your purpose. If releasing offers, and products and that are not perfect serves one person then you’re fulfilling your purpose.
 
It is okay to have unperfect work out there that you know you can eventually change, improve, innovate, and continue to serve in a bigger and better way as you learn and grow more. 

Overworking

If you are always overworking, constantly busy and never spending time in the quiet then it would be hard for you to receive your guidance.
 
Overworking will also eventually lead to breakdown and burnout. Learn to create some quiet spaces in your day where you sit in solitude, listen to your soul’s whispers, and align with your creator.

Codependency

You are a powerful divine soul. Codependency is never good for you. You are responsible for creating your meaningful life and no one else needs to be given this responsibility.
 
Your happiness and joy are who you are by nature. They are your soul’s original qualities. Learn to go inward to tap into, and feel your inner Serenity and happiness.

Social Avoidance

Withdrawing from others and social avoidance is not good for you. We are all social creatures and for you to serve others you have to be around them. We are here to help others, and if you are in seclusion, you cannot help anybody else. 
 
Meet up with and be around people because you will get more opportunities to serve them. Go for a walk at the mall, and out in nature.

Excessive Regret

Do not have excessive regret from your past no matter what you did. Learn from all the decisions that you made in your life in the past. 
 
Learn and grow from your past experiences and move on because as long as you are getting better and you are growing remember you can serve your purpose in a bigger and better way.
 
Do not continue to judge yourself for decisions that you made in the past because you made those decisions based on who you were and could do at that time.  Forgive yourself and discover what your purpose is and live your life your ideal life and be happy.

In conclusion, you now know that certain behaviors that are not aligned with the intentions and qualities of your soul and higher self can for sure ruin your life and prevent you from living your very best fulfilling, and meaningful life.
 
The 10 behaviors you learned that could ruin your life are negative self-talk, being in toxic relationships, procrastination, comparison, holding grudges, perfectionism, overworking, codependency, social avoidance, and excessive regret.
 
I hope you are now going to work on eliminating the behaviors that you are now aware of that could block you from living your best abundant Life.

Why Am I Not Good With Money?

Why Am I Not Good With Money?

Why Am I Not Good With Money?

I believe it is very important to establish good money habits if you want to live your best meaningful and most impactful life that you came on this earth to live.
 
I have discovered, after talking to a lot of my female clients, the chances are very high that if you are a woman you believe that you are not good with money because it is too complicated, and as a result, always ask yourself disempowering questions like why am I not good with money?
 
If you believe you are not good with money then you can never be good with money. You will feel hopeless and not empowered to do anything to change it and therefore you will avoid taking any responsibility to improve your financial know how which will then lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy and a life of financial struggle and scarcity mindset.

Your self-identity, perspective, and beliefs that you are not good with money will lead to thoughts, feelings, words, behavior, actions, habits, and eventual destiny of financial struggle and scarcity.
 
So, you may be wondering, what are some bad money habits you need to change that could keep you from living an abundant wealthy life. Let’s discuss that next.

What Are Bad Money Habits?

If you have any of the bad habits that you are about to learn about make sure you change them in order to do better financially and live your best life, teach your children to do the same and change the financial trajectory of multiple generations to come in your family. 
 
The more money you can make, keep and multiply the more unlimited good you can do with it in this world. Your money is not limited like your time when it comes to serving others and making a difference.
 
The more you know how to manage your money and show the universe that you can it will keep giving you a lot more to manage. You live in an abundant world which you have to learn to tune in to. Here are 12 habits for every woman to change so that your future generation can do better.

Deferring Money Management

Not believing in your ability and deferring your money management to someone else like an advisor, or spouse, because you are not confident and do not believe in your ability to manage your money.
 
Know you are capable and qualified like everyone else to manage your money well even though you may have been led to believe otherwise by the society.
 
Make sure you know what’s happening with your money because you never know what life has in store for you and you must have the financial knowledge and know how to manage your money well.
 
If you master money management then you can also teach your children how to manage their money. Make sure you know how to pay your bills and manage your money even if your partner is currently handling this task. Always remember no one else will care about your money as much as you will.

Not Making Financial Education A Priority

Not making financial education a priority is a mistake that will cost you.  You need to be able to use money which is a tool that will help you sustain your desired lifestyle and mission.
 
Take 100% responsibility for your financial literacy, learn to earn more, manage, invest, and grow your money so that you can do a lot of good with it. Be an inspiring role model for your children.

Paying Yourself Last

It is a mistake to pay all your bills first and pay yourself last. Automate the amount that you have decided to pay yourself first every month and have it moved to a different account.
 
The percentage that you start saving is not as important initially as forming a consistent habit of paying yourself first, saving and investing your money.

Not Having A Peace Of Mind Account

Not having any money set aside in a separate account in case of any emergencies that may arise. Set aside at least 12 months of your monthly required expenses in case any unexpected financial challenges arise.
 
Make sure your money is liquid and not tied to any investments and it can be accessed right away when needed.

Unplanned Spending

Spending more than you earn and doing spontaneous spending also known as retail therapy frequently is not a very good idea. It is okay to enjoy some of your money and have fun in life as long as it’s planned spending and it is done after you have saved and invested whatever you needed to for the month.
 
Do not spend money so that you can take advantage of the savings. Don’t buy things that are not necessary. Always remember all your consumer goods will continue to depreciate year after year. 

Overusing Credit Cards

The habit of overusing your credit cards with high-interest rates to obtain rewards that are offered. It is never a good idea to have an unpaid balance carried over to the next month. Make sure you’re using the credit available to you wisely and paying your balance off by the due date every month. 

Not Tracking Your Money

Not knowing all your numbers like income and expenses can be a big mistake. Organize your finances and get into a habit of tracking your net-worth quarterly and have a system to look at all your financial numbers more frequently like weekly and monthly. Make sure your net worth (income minus expenses) is always going up and not in the negative. 

Not Having A Spending Plan

Not having a budget or any spending plan can be detrimental to your financial future. Have a spending plan and allocate a percentage of your money to go to different categories like all your necessary monthly expenses, investment and financial freedom, short-term savings based on goals and future purposes, fun, education, and giving.
 
Budgets and planned spending are never restrictive. They give you the freedom to know exactly what is available and okay to splurge and spend at any given moment.

Paying Too Much Taxes

Paying too much in taxes is never good for your bottom dollar. Make sure you know what credits are available to you, how much you can write off, and how much you can save in taxes. Whenever you get a refund remember it means you let the government borrow that money from you interest-free.

Not Investing And Multiplying Your Money

Not knowing how to invest, grow and multiply your money could be detrimental to your financial future.  Make sure your money is always working harder for you than you work for it. If you keep working harder for it and never invest it then you will always be working for it for the rest of your life.
 
Your investments can eventually give you financial freedom. When you have enough money coming in from your investment to cover all your monthly bills then you are free and never have to work again.

Having Consumer Debt

You have consumer debt with a high-interest rate. Make sure you buy consumers goods that you can pay for in cash or have the money to pay for when you get your bills. Come up with a plan and save for all your bigger purchase items like a vacation and a car.

Not Protecting Your Money

Not having enough insurance and the will to protect your money can be a very costly mistake.  Make sure that you buy the appropriate life insurance policies so that your family does not have to suffer if something happens to you.
 
Hire a lawyer to help you complete a will so your estate can be transferred to your kids without any tax implications and delays.

In conclusion, you now know If you believe you are not good with money then you can never be good with money.
 
Your self-identity, perspective, and beliefs that you are not good with money will lead to thoughts, words, behavior, actions, habits, and eventual destiny of financial struggle and scarcity that is aligned to it.
 
Some of the bad money habits that can keep you from being wealthy are deferring your money management, not making financial education a priority, paying yourself last, not having a spending plan, not having a spending plan, paying too much tax, not knowing how to invest and multiply money, having consumer debt and not protecting your money.
If you have any of the bad habits that we discussed I hope you will immediately start changing them. Teach your kids to have good money habits and change your financial future and the multi generations to come.
 
Let’s do unlimited good for the world with all of our money!

Can Emotional Healing Make You Tired?

Can Emotional Healing Make You Tired?

Can Emotional Healing Make You Tired?

Emotional healing can be tiring and exhausting. It can potentially take a long time because your therapeutic healing process will involve you opening up and being vulnerable about your past traumas.
 
You will have to put your attention on past traumas and wounds, understand them, re-feel the wounds, and experience all the emotions associated with these traumas which have been stored and buried deep within you before you can work on them and release them.
 
So, you may be wondering why emotional healing takes so long and why it cannot be done faster. Let’s find out the answer to that question.

Why Does Emotional Healing Take So Long?

I found in my experience that emotional healing can take a long time for several reasons and it is a very complex and not a straight or linear journey.
 
There are lots of ups and downs on this healing path and a lot of patience is required as you go through it. Here are seven reasons why your emotional healing can take a long and does not happen instantly.

Deep-Seated Traumas

Your healing often involves deep-rooted traumas, beliefs, and emotions that take time to process. In most cases they have been forgotten, become part of your identity and therefore quite challenging to rehash and work on.
 
It takes time to address, and process these traumas and it can be too overwhelming to go through quickly. You will require a lot of patience and compassion towards yourself and allow your healing journey to be as long as it needs to be so that in the end you can live your very best fulfilling life of purpose and meaning.

Your Traumas Are Unique

The traumas that you experienced are unique to you and therefore your healing path will be personalized and unique to you as well. How long should healing take according to the guidelines, textbooks, or what other people say should not matter at all.
 
Do not compare your healing journey with others instead keep your focus on progressing by taking one tiny step at a time and taking all the time that you need to heal.

Healing Can Be Interrupted

As long we are on the earth school chances are high that your healing and progress can get interrupted and derailed by unexpected challenges in life.  Your focus gets temporarily diverted to something else and you lose momentum in your healing journey.
 
Accept this situation to be normal and commit to continuing your healing journey once you have dealt with and addressed your challenges.

Holistic Healing Takes Long

The healing journey needs to be holistic meaning your mind body and your spirit have to be all aligned. This can sometimes take a long because you have to work on your mind, body, and soul to align all three and have them all going the same way again.

External Environment Is Not Supportive

Your external environment and support system can impact your healing Journey and your staying on track. For example, if there is a worldwide pandemic, or a family member who is suffering from a serious illness or going through something difficult.
 
You could also have people around you who are unavailable emotionally, not very supportive, and do not understand what you are going through which can cause your healing Journey to be interrupted or progress very slowly.
 
Accept your situation, have faith in your ability, and be confident that you can persist and resume your journey at a later date. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be on this healing journey right now.

Having Unreasonable Expectations

Sometimes your expectations can hinder your progress and make you feel stuck on your healing journey. It can lead to disappointments for example, let’s say you expected to heal in a few weeks and it’s taking you longer you may feel disappointed and you may feel like you’re not healing quickly enough.
 
Do not set unrealistic expectations for your healing and know that it is okay to give your healing journey to take as long as it needs. Everybody is different and so embrace and focus on and go through your healing Journey your way.

Effects Of Past Trauma Resurfacing

The effects of your past trauma can resurface and re-trigger you and cause you to spiral in the opposite direction. You may feel like you’re doing a lot worse now. Know that it is normal to feel that way.
 
Continue to make progress and work on your healing. Remember your healing is a journey and your progress is never going to happen in a straight or linear fashion. You might have to take a couple of steps back and then you will be able to resume moving forward.
 
Practice a lot of self-love and compassion towards yourself and know that as long as you are working on your healing you are good.  Focus on growing and getting better so that you can fulfill your purpose and serve others in a bigger and better way.

In conclusion, you now know that emotional healing can be tiring and exhausting. It can potentially take a long time because your therapeutic healing process will involve you opening up and being vulnerable about your past traumas.
 
You will be required to put your attention on past traumas and wounds, understand them, re-feel the wounds, and experience all the emotions associated with these traumas which have been stored and buried deep within you before you can work on them and release them.
 
You also know that emotional healing takes long because it is a very complex and not a straight or linear Journey. There are lots of ups and downs and a lot of patience is required as you go through it.
 
The reasons why your emotional healing is not linear and can take long are your deep-seated traumas take time to process, your traumas are unique, healing can be interrupted, holistic healing can be difficult, unsupportive external environment, unreasonable expectations, and effects of past trauma resurfacing.
 
I hope you will be more patient and compassionate towards yourself as you go through your own emotional healing journey no matter how long it ends up taking. Be open to helping others who are just starting their healing journey.

How Much Mental Illness Is Caused By Social Media?

How Much Mental Illness Is Caused
By Social Media?

How Much Mental Illness Is Caused By Social Media?

I believe you are fully responsible for your mental state despite what type of circumstances you find yourself in life. It is your perspective, identity, thoughts, feelings, words, behavior, actions, and habits that eventually lead to your destiny. So, how much mental illness is caused by social media?
 
The comparison, number of likes, and followers that you desperately seek and desire to get on social media is known to influence and cause some people to suffer from emotional and mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
 
How much and how long you suffer however is determined by how aware you are that you are the creator of the quality of your own life and how quickly you can stop your suffering by recognizing what you are doing to your self, and proceeding to change your perspective, beliefs, and thoughts.

So, you may be wondering next how much mental illness is caused by your genes. Let’s find out the answer to this question.

How Much Is Mental illness Genetic?

Your genes cannot cause you to have any mental illness even if there is a past family history of its existence. Genes do not express themselves unless they are exposed to the right environment.
 
If your thoughts, beliefs, and identity are focused on mental well-being then every cell, tissue, and organ in your body will follow your command and express wellness.
 
Let’s find out how to achieve mental wellness next.

How To Achieve Mental Wellness

You must form the habits that help you boost your mental/emotional well-being every single day to remain healthy, function well, live a meaningful, impactful life, and fulfill your purpose and soul’s calling that you came on the earth to fulfill.
 
Start implementing the habits mentioned below to boost your mental wellness.

Consume Positivity

Make it a point to intentionally consume positive messages every day by owning inspiring home décor and merchandise, listening to songs with good lyrics, reading books with empowering messages, listening to podcasts, watching videos, and movies that inspire you.
 
They will help you grow, get inspired, and put you in the right mind frame to serve your purpose in a bigger and better way. 
 
Consuming negativity on social media and news will make it harder for you to live a soul aligned life, have a positive attitude, stay inspired, and aligned with your soul and higher self.

Associate With Supportive People

Spend time with like-minded people who support, cheer, inspire and help you grow as a person. Reduce or try not to spend time around people who constantly judge you or force you and demand that you indulge in bad habits and addictions.
 
Being around people with negative energy can affect your mental state and make it harder for you to have a positive attitude and outlook on life.

Improve Your Posture

Improving your posture and having your shoulders back can have a positive impact on your confidence, self-esteem, body, physical and mental health. It will lead to happy hormones being released into your body instead of stress hormones which get released when you are slouched over.

Spend Time Out In Nature

Nature is known to have many healing powers. Spending time out in nature will boost and improve your emotional/mental well-being, help you sleep better, and make you feel good, relaxed, and happier.
 
It is easier to feel gratitude in nature when you are amongst the vast existing creations made by your creator, experience mindfulness, feel abundant, harmonious, and connected to your creator.

Acknowledge Your Emotions

Learn to recognize and acknowledge your emotions that come up. Know that they come up so that you can work on them. Get to know your triggers and work on healing your emotional wounds and traumas. Ask yourself and figure out why you’re getting triggered.
 
What were your preceding thoughts? what is your perspective? what are your beliefs? what’s your identity? that’s leading to those feelings, actions, words, behavior, and habits that are perhaps misaligned with your higher self and are not serving you anymore.

Look After Your Body

Look after your body because it is a temple for your soul at the moment.  Your soul cannot fulfill its purpose if your body is not healthy. Exercise and move your body every day, eat food that is healthy and nourishing, and get enough rest and sleep every day.

Socialize And Connect

Socialize and connect with others frequently. We are social creatures and need the human to human connections. Isolation is not healthy for you and can lead to many mental health issues.

Think Before You Act

Take the time to always think before you speak or act.  Especially when something happens and you get triggered. Take a moment to pause because that’s where your freedom is and then respond.
 
Do not give your power away and react to what is happening in your circumstances and how others around you are behaving.

Spend Time In The Quiet

Make sure to spend some time in the quiet praying, meditating, and connecting to your creator every single day.
 
When you are connected to your creator you get to know and realize that you are an individualized expression of your creator, how powerful you are, and have access to your creator’s strength, power, and intelligence.

Practice Mindfulness

Stay present in each moment that you are alive and experience now which is a gift from your creator.
 
Notice the amazing shapes of the clouds, and colors of the sunrise and sunset, stop, admire, and smell the flowers, and be present when you spend some time with your children instead of being distracted by your phone.

Practice Self-Love

Schedule some time to practice self-love every day so that you can be healthy enough to serve others. You are enough, matter, deserve some unconditional self-love, and live your best authentic best life.

Start A Morning Routine

Start a morning routine where you practice gratitude, raise your vibration, and align yourself with your soul first thing in the morning.
 
Forgive yourself for all the decisions that you have made in the past that did not serve you, and others who have done wrong to you, send someone blessings and make it a point to reach out and serve someone, and recite powerful positive affirmations.

In conclusion, the comparison, number of likes, and followers that you get on social media is known to influence and cause some people to suffer from mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
 
How much and how long you suffer however is determined by how aware you are that you are the creator of your life and how quickly you can stop your own suffering by changing your perspective, beliefs, and thoughts.
 
Your genes cannot cause you to have any mental illness even if there is a past family history of its existence. Genes do not express themselves unless they are exposed to the right environment.
 
If your thoughts, beliefs, and identity are focused on mental well-being then every cell, tissue, and organ in your body will follow your command and express wellness.
 
You can start boost your mental wellness by consuming positivity, associating with supportive people, improving your posture, spending time out in nature, acknowledging your emotions, looking after your body, socializing, thinking before acting, spending time in the quiet, practicing mindfulness and self-love, and having a morning routine.

The three biggest childhood wounds by far that most people have reported to have experienced are betrayal, abandonment, and shame. The trauma that you experience as a child feels like a lack of control in a situation that is scary and unsafe.
 
Trauma and wounds if left unaddressed can affect the mother’s attachment to her children as she could be emotionally unavailable to her children.
 
Trauma can also affect the parenting style and lead to more authoritative over-controlling parenting which leads to children who lack independence or have rebelling behavior towards the mother.
 
An unhealed trauma in the mother can unconsciously lead to a repeated pattern of traumatic behavior towards the children which can then cause a similar trauma to the children.
 
Children who experience trauma are less able to identify, express, describe their feelings, and manage their emotions.
 
They are more likely to use drugs, have other addictions, suicidal tendencies, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and anger and exhibit aggressive behavior.
 
Next, let’s discuss the importance and some further reasons why every mother must heal from childhood trauma.

Why Every Mother Must Heal From Trauma

I believe it is very important that every mother works on their healing so that you do not repeat patterns that do not serve her and her family one generation after another. So, here are 8 reasons why every mother needs to work on their healing

Makes You A Positive Role Model

When you work on your healing you will serve as a positive role model to your children. They will know without a doubt that healing and mental health does matter. They will know it is okay for them to prioritize their healing because it does matter. 
 
Your mental health and well-being have a rippling impact on every area of your life. They will also know it is okay for them to admit that they need help because everybody needs help sometimes and it is never okay to keep quiet and have things bottled up inside.
 
It’s not a weakness to ask for help. It is brave to recognize and self-advocate that you need help and to ask for it.

Reduces Your Stress And Anxiety

Your healing will help you reduce your stress and anxiety. When you are stressed and when anxious you could project your anger onto the people who are around like your family.
 
When you work on your anxiety and stress your relationships will improve and get better. The energy in your household will also improve and be calmer, and more peaceful.

Improves Your Relationships

Your relationships will also improve as you heal. You will have more fulfilling relationships with other people in your household because you will be more compassionate towards them and be able to respond to their needs with a very calm and composed demeanor.

You will also be able to handle other life challenges better. You will have the capacity to be able to understand, hear, see, and accept your children. Everyone will feel closer and happier.

Increases Your Resilience

You will be able to increase your resilience and be better able to handle the stresses that come into your life. There is no such thing as a life without any challenges since we are all here on this earth to grow and learn from our life challenges.
 
You will be able to handle these challenges in a calm, and peaceful way. You be able to teach your children to do the same.

Gives You Emotional Freedom

Once you address your past trauma you will feel emotionally free and you will have a positive outlook on life. You will be able to let go, overcome, and address your past trauma and make sure it does not affect your and your family.
 
When you don’t address your childhood trauma it will continue to be part of your programming, identity, perspective, beliefs, thoughts, behavior, words, habits, and eventually your destiny.
 
Your programming will act as a filter and affect all the decisions that you make in life. You will be able to raise your kids in a much better way.

Improves Your Physical Health

You will also be able to improve your physical health.  Your healing and mental health impacts your own life and body, and then your relationships. Your mental and physical health is never separate it is very connected.
 
So, when you’re not okay mentally it does manifest and have an impact on your physical body. When you address your mental health issues you will be able to have more energy, get sick less often, and be more available for your family.

Increases Your Self-Awareness

Your healing and all your self-reflection work will increase your self-awareness and you will be able to understand better and better communicate your own needs. You will be able to have healthier boundaries for your self-care before it is too late and you get sick. 
 
You will teach your children to take the time for their self-care. I am sure none of us want our children to suffer and not be okay mentally now and in the future when they have their own families.
 
Always remember that self-care is not selfish because you getting sick and not being around is a more enormous void for your family. 
 
So, take some time for your self-care it’s important and help others from an overflow of your energy that you have and not from an empty depleted place.

Makes You Better At Emotional Regulation

When you heal you will have better emotional regulation and respond to a situation. You will be less likely to scream, shout, and have outbursts. 
 
You will be very aware that you are getting get triggered, pause, ask why and take that moment between a situation that happens, stay calm, and respond and not react despite the circumstances and what other people are doing.

In conclusion, you now know that every mother can heal from childhood trauma(s) provided she is committed to her healing and believes that she can. You will require a lot of patience and compassion towards yourself.
 
Spend some quiet time reflecting on your childhood, identify your trauma(s), discover and learn different ways to heal yourself or be open to asking for help if needed, and take the time to identify and seek the right therapy for you.
 
Childhood trauma and wounds if left unaddressed can affect the mother’s attachment to her children as she could be emotionally unavailable to her children.
 
Trauma can also affect the parenting style and lead to more authoritative over-controlling parenting which leads to children who lack independence or have rebelling behavior towards the mother.
 
You also learned 8 reasons why every mother needs to work on their healing which are it makes you a positive role model, reduces your stress and anxiety, improves your relationships, increases your resilience, gives you emotional freedom, improves your physical health, increases your self-awareness, and makes you better at emotional regulation.

Can Your Grades Determine How Smart You Are?

Can Your Grades Determine How Smart You Are?

If you were one of those people who dreaded receiving report cards because you did not get good grades in school there is a high chance that you have probably lived your whole life thinking and believing that you are not very smart, unlike other people. Can your grades determine how smart or intelligent you really are?
 
No, grades do not determine how smart or intelligent you are despite what you may have been led to believe. Grades determine how well you can perform when you are under the stress and pressure of being a student in school.
 
Your grades are also dependent on how much interest you have in a subject, how much effort you put into completing the course requirements, how well the subject was taught, how clear and culturally bias free the test was, and possibly what the teacher believed about your capability in a given subject.
 
In my experience, most schools tend to recognize and honor students who are good at certain subjects like Science, and Math and not others as much like arts.
 
So, you may be wondering what are some of the other types of intelligence that you might not have heard about that you need to start recognizing and honor. Let’s discuss next nine types of such intelligence that have been identified.

Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

Math and logical intelligence enable you to thrive and live in the world of abstract symbols and thoughts, formulas, strategy, hypothesis, and reasoning skills are your expertise.
 
You love strategy and solving math problems. Some of the career paths that would be good for you are mathematician, detective, scientist, computer programmer, and inventor.

Existential Intelligence

As someone with existential intelligence, you probably wonder and often ask yourself questions like why are we here? what is our life purpose? what’s the meaning of life?
 
Your philosophical mind probably keeps you up at night. A career path for someone who’s existential could be a philosophy teacher or professor.
