Burying Emotional Pain
Do you bury your pain or process your pain?
Anger, fear, sadness, hate–these painful emotions, if unchecked, metastasize into physical pain.
Backaches, stomach aches, headaches, joint aches–all the aches start with an achy emotion you haven’t healed.
So, instead of burying or ignoring your pain, feel it in your body with all its intensity. After about ninety seconds, it will dissipate. Then, find a healthy activity or exercise that helps burn away the remnants: journaling, running, walking, even beating your pillow, or screaming in your closet.
Understand the power of your emotions. Today, try journaling about any anger or fear you’re holding onto and any physical pain you have. Explore ways that you can begin healing the emotions.
