Multiple studies have also shown that just two minutes of such distraction will reduce your focus on negative things.
Pay attention to emotional pain
The first thing we need to do to heal our emotional wounds is to acknowledge the wounds. Our bodies evolved to feel pain. It is to let us know that something is not right inside of us.
If feeling sad, disappointed when rejected or failed doesn’t improve, it means you are emotionally hurt and you need to deal with it. Talking with loved ones or meeting with experts are the things that help you take better care of your wounds.
Ignore the feeling of failure
The essence of emotional wounds makes them become fragile. At this point, when facing failure, you tend to think of negatives, truths that you cannot change.
These things prevent you from giving your best, leading you to focus on your flaws. From there, gradually falling into a vicious circle, gradually losing confidence in yourself and feeling inferior to others, feeling like a failure.
Instead of continuing like that, you should try to ignore it, forget about its existence.
These emotional healing methods will help reduce despair and improve your chances of future success.
Love yourself
Healing is about loving yourself unconditionally, with both good and bad sides. To do this, we will have to have the courage to calm yourself down, to shut up your self-judgment.
And then, acceptance is an important part of the process. Because if you don’t overcome the prejudices within yourself, just love the bright side and reject the dark side, you will find it difficult to open your heart to others.
When you give yourself unconditional love, that’s when the healing takes effect.
Forget the past
When sad, people tend to think about sad events, unfortunate events that have happened. If you keep thinking about those events without finding ways to address them, the results you get will be even worse.
Especially when it becomes a habit, it can lead to deeper emotional pain. Therefore, another self-healing method is to prevent the habit of remembering the past, living in this bad past.
What you need to do is to find ways to distract yourself, forget about the pain that is accumulating inside. Some exercises that require high concentration such as playing Sudoku, solving crossword puzzles, recalling the names of your primary school friends,… can be suitable choices for you.
Find the positive in adversity
Loss is a part of life, but sometimes it can leave scars and hinder us from moving forward on this journey. If you have been struggling for a long time but still find it difficult to overcome the loss, what you need to do is to have new thoughts about it.
And most importantly, helping you reduce pain and recover is to find meaning, positivity in that loss and create 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 are grateful for in life that you can have. Or imagine the changes you can make to help yourself have a better life.
Rediscover joy
When it comes to healing, people often focus on the wounds, the pain, the loss. But in fact, joy is also an essential part of the journey of self-healing.
At first, joy can come from entertainment, from someone, from receiving news or from an interesting story. Later on, by being present with ourselves, we will know how to create joy for ourselves. At that time, even small things around can ignite joy in you.
Daily meditation
Studies have shown that meditation helps increase pain tolerance, reduce stress, depression and anxiety effectively. To practice meditation, you should spend a certain amount of time in it to relax – maybe just 10 minutes.
A recent study on pain perception found that daily meditation has positive and long-lasting effects on chronic pain. When you take the time to practice these techniques, you will reduce stress, fatigue, and enhance your self-healing and self-recovery ability.
In addition, you should not abuse drugs because if used for a long time, it will make your body dependent. Just as a machine that is not used for a long time will rust, your body’s ability to self-heal will also decrease from it.
Regular exercise habits
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 increase immune function, body resistance.
Exercise can help you sleep better and improve your mood. These things are helpful 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
In addition to improving our mood, music or writing are also healing methods that anyone who cannot get acquainted with the silence when entering meditation should try.
Many studies have shown that pouring out the endless thoughts on paper will bring quick mental calmness. Or music, it can help to soothe chronic pain, reduce heart rate and blood pressure, reduce anxiety and improve the quality of life.
Let each of us be our own healer to together, we enter a new normal and celebrate a new beginning with love and positive energy. Learn to love yourself and heal your soul.
