Creating the self

I know all this healing business is hard. Some days excitement takes over and quickly turns to anxiety. Others the stages of grief are still profound. The goal of living in a healthy manner is ultimately finding balance. The easiest way to do this is to use your roller coast of emotions as fuel to guide you. First, identify how you are feeling. Notice what's going on in your body, do you feel overwhelmed? Excited? Depressed? Whatever it is, acknowledge it first. Validating what is true is key in this process.

Treat yourself as if you're meeting for the first time. Do you see it? Can you feel how the past isn't present.
