Multiple studies have also shown that just two minutes of daydreaming like that will reduce your focus on your negative stuff.
Pay attention to emotional pain
The first thing we need to do to heal our wounded souls is to recognize the wound. Our bodies have evolved to feel pain. It lets us know that something is not right inside of us.
If the feeling of sadness, disappointment when rejected or failed isn’t better, it means you are psychologically hurt and you need to deal with it. Talking to loved ones or seeing a specialist are the things that help take care of your wounds better.
Ignore the feeling of failure
The essence of emotional wounds makes them become weaker. At this point, when facing failure, you usually think about negatives, things that you cannot change.
These things make you unable to work hard, leading you to focus more on your shortcomings. From there, gradually fall into a vicious circle, gradually lose confidence in yourself and feel inferior to others, feel like a failure.
Instead of continuing like that, you try to ignore it, forget its existence.
These emotionally healing methods will help reduce despair and improve your chances of success in the future.
Love yourself
Healing is about unconditional love for yourself, both the good and the bad. To do this, we will need a lot of courage to silence the self-judgment in us.
And when that happens, acceptance is an important part of the process. Because if you do not overcome prejudice in yourself, just love the bright part but reject the dark part, you will find it difficult to open your heart to others.
When you give yourself unconditional love, that is when healing takes effect.
Forget the past
When sad, people usually tend to think about sad events, unfortunate events that have happened. If you keep thinking about those events without trying to solve the problem, the result you get will be worse.
Especially when it becomes a habit, it can lead to deeper psychological pain. Another way to heal yourself is to prevent the habit of remembering the past, living in this bad past.
What you need to do is find a way to distract yourself, forget the pain that is being contained in your heart. Some exercises that require high concentration such as: Playing Sudoku, finding crosswords, remembering the names of your elementary school classmates with you, … may be suitable choices for you.
Find the positive in adversity
Loss is a part of life, but sometimes it can leave scars and prevent us from moving forward on this journey. If you have experienced a long period of time but still have difficulty overcoming the loss, what you need to do is have new thoughts about it.
And most importantly, helping you reduce pain and recover is finding meaning, positivity in that loss, and creating goals from it. Finding meaning in loss is not a simple matter, but think about what you can achieve from this loss.
Think about the things you can be thankful for in life. Or try to imagine the changes you can make to help yourself have a better life.
Rediscover joy
When it comes to healing, people often focus on wounds, sadness, loss. But in fact, happiness is also an essential part of the journey of healing the body and mind.
At first, happiness can come from entertainment, from someone, from news received, or from an interesting story. Later on, by being present with ourselves, we will know how to create happiness for ourselves. At that time, only small things around can inspire joy in you.
Daily meditation
Studies have shown that meditation helps increase pain tolerance, reduce stress, depression, and anxiety very effectively. To practice meditation, you should spend a period of time in it to relax – it may only take 10 minutes.

Furthermore, you should not abuse drugs because if used for a long time, it will make the body dependent. Just like a machine that has not been used for a long time will rust, the body’s ability to self-heal will also decrease from that.
Regular exercise habit
Although pain can make you reluctant to exercise, reluctant to exercise sports. But in reality, maintaining regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to enhance immune system function, body resistance.
Exercise can help you sleep better and improve your mood. These are useful in helping you reduce pain and restore balance.
You can start with low-intensity exercises such as: Yoga, walking, swimming, Qigong or Tai Chi.
Create a hobby for yourself
In addition to improving our mood, music or writing is also one of the healing methods that stop being quiet when entering meditation should try.
Many studies have shown that by pouring out the lines of reverie will quickly bring mental tranquility. Or music is the same, it can help soothe chronic pain, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, reduce anxiety and improve quality of life.
