Hooked On Healing

Has anyone ever said, “You’ll understand this when you get older”? What exactly were they talking about? Have you had any awakenings or revelations in your life as you got a tad older? Perhaps you also wonder where all the time went. Wasn’t it just summertime a couple of weeks ago? Now it’s dark at 4 p.m. You know this time of year has no afternoons. It’s morning until 2 p.m., then night.

Do you believe that you are psychologically evolving? Do you value “growth”? Perhaps you don’t even know what that means to you. Trust me, you are not alone. Most of us respond to events in our present based on situations in our past.

When was the last time you lost your temper? Did your friend just push some well-known buttons about your body image? Did he yet again make a wisecrack about your mother? Did she slam your career choice yet again?

Ever meet someone who has no earthly idea how difficult they are to be around? He may even have a heightened belief in his own excellence or perfection. No matter how sensitively you deliver the criticism, she will simply get offended or even accuse you of being impolite or rude.

Some days you can feel like your own worst enemy. Believe it or not, how you treat yourself can actually be more destructive than how others treat you. For the sake of your well-being, you need to look inward, sweet friends.

Perhaps you regret having trusted her. Clearly, trust is the foundation of any healthy relationship. As they say: It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. And the only statistics you can trust are those you falsified yourself. But truly, whether it’s romantic or even professional, without trust it is simply a matter of time before the relationship falls apart.
