Steps to Healing

Often times when we have been hurt physically or mentally, we don't always recover. We often focus to much on the problem and not enough time on the solution. This is because it's easier to dwell in what has hurt us rather than to go against the norm in order to fix it. The process of healing isn't complex but the way you use it is complexly fit to you.

Step 1:
*Identify the conflict by making sure you know who is really involved in the situation. When we blame others for false accusations we the conflict gets bigger than it ever was. We also need to be so slow to anger when it comes to the blame game. This is the first and very important step because it sets the stage for the whole duration of the healing.

Step 2:
*Address each person involved in the conflict. Now this is easier said then done most times because everyone is testy when it comes to saying who did what. But I can guarantee you that setting everyone's feelings straight is a very important detail thay can't be forgotten. Some people might not engage in relationships once they have ended abruptly. Sometimes this step can happen throughout the whole healing process because people deal with things at different times.

Step 3:
*This is where the healing really begins because this is where the letting go process begins. It may sound weird but I think that when people disagree on something or having a huge falling out, stepping back from each other is a hard but healthy thing to do. Im not saying in any way to forget those who you are fighting with but on order for people to settle down over a dispute they need to decide beyond each other. In any relationship, a little bit of air is never a bad thing. Now this is not for everyone, sometimes we need each other even through we can't stand each other to push through it together.

Step 4:
*In every healing process there is always a time for looking up. Once everything is set straight in your mind plus in the other minds involved. You can't dwell on the past because it can't be relived. I know that sounds like a cheesy fortune cookie but it's the straight truth. We tend to live in the past trying to fix what we love so much while our present life keeps moving on so we miss it all. We are told to do our very best through Christ not to go back and make sure it is sin free. Healing is not an easy process but of course it is worth it. And it doesn't happen over night. But God calls us to this so we should take the liberty to allow ourselves to get back to what we were made for.

Verse of the Day: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
~Psalms 147:3
