Growth & healing aphorism

Growth & healing are automatic forces of nature. Hold yourself gently… Allow time and it will happen with ease

Ever had a cut or a broken bone? Who fixed it? The doctor didn’t. They may have put some stitches or some plaster to hold it, but it was your body that did the healing and you didn’t have to do anything for that to happen except to allow it by not interfering.

My mother’s words still ring in my ears, “Don’t pick at the scab. You just make it harder for your body. It’s a cover your body makes to protect the injury while it is fixing itself underneath”.

I believe it is the same with emotional injuries as well. You can go over it in ways that dig in and reinjure or you can go over it in ways that soothe. Either way, your heart will be healing.

You can choose between undermining or supporting the process. Ask yourself, “how do you pick at it?” “How do you support your healing?”
