What is a wound you’ve been carrying in silence? What would it look like to release the weight of it and choose peace instead?

Is there a limit on how long this post can be?? Personally, it feels like I’ve all of the feels/wounds within, just pulling at my heartstrings. The future, the past, the present, did I do too much or not enough? How can I change my life faster? How can I get out of my current situation?

We can tell ourselves that we are looking out for ourselves but that doesn’t mean that we are able to fully free ourselves of all of the crap that might be weighing us down. It’s strange how there can be a huge disconnect between what we might be feeling and what we might be telling ourselves. We might even be able to pull ourselves from our mental anguish but then find ourselves down another black hole without even realizing it.

That’s why I really guard against toxic positivity and the dangerous belief that we have to “happy all of the time.” I hope that I’m not down all of the time but I absolutely despise the expectation that we are in a positive state all of time. I know that’s why its easy to create a separation between how we feel and what we think – because we aren’t always allowed to “safely feel the feels.”

Journal prompts are vital for anyone who suddenly feels down without fully knowing why (or even knowing why). They allow us to pull our twisted/cluttered thoughts out of our mind and to see them for what they really are: not always an accurate representation of how we truly feel.

I hope that you are able to release an unexpected wound that you might be carrying and that you feel safe to truly explore your inner thoughts.
