Hello everyone, how are you? I hope you're all well. I don't know where to begin this story. In some stories, I've already learned that this year was the lowest point of my life. It started with the loss of my parents, my job, and even myself.
This year was a year of reflection and recovery. On the other hand, this year was a year of change in my perspective. Many things have changed in my life, especially my perspective. There are three aspects of my perspective that have changed. First, trauma and the inner child need to be healed.
From the various healing methods I've tried, it turns out our bodies aren't designed to endure and carry trauma. For example, fear of abandonment. If the trauma isn't resolved, it will repeat itself at different times and with different people, looping.
We don't realize this and just think it's a part of life. Deep down, it's a trauma that hasn't been released. It will continue to happen in our lives, no matter what. With the help of a healing practitioner, I'm beginning to realize this.
The second thing is to love ourselves. Everything on this earth can be lost. We can lose loved ones, but we must never lose ourselves. We need to love ourselves. This year is the moment I've returned to loving myself.
Loving ourselves and focusing on improving ourselves is the key to living a comfortable life. We think we have the greatest control in our lives. Not depending on others and setting boundaries with them is the key to starting to love ourselves.
The last thing is that God will take anything from us. Realizing God's power is immense. Yesterday, I was chatting with my friend about how we receive a reward after experiencing a profound loss in our lives. It's easy for God to take something precious from us, and it's just as easy for him to give us something else.
This is about piety. How much we believe in a higher power in this world. I was once agnostic when my father died. I used to think God was evil for taking something precious from me. But now, that view has shifted. This time has taught me to believe in a higher power. That's all I can share. What do you think?
