The Journey of Healing.....

Hello to all my "MiBuds"; how have you been? I hope that you all have been navigating life well since my last blog entry. To all my new readers, welcome to "A Tall Life." My name is Lucky Daniels and, this is a space where we talk about navigating living life as a tall woman, mental health, travel, financial literally, and more. Just because I am a tall woman doesn't make me less multi-dimensional. I am sure my tall view of life can help put many things in perspective for many.

I usually don't do many long introductions about the blog, but I decided to indulge myself since I was away for some time. Now, to all of the new readers here I will introduce to you all a warm-up that we always do. I want all of you to pat yourself on the back for all the goals you accomplished this week. Sometimes we as human beings have the desire to be complimented and praised for the accomplishments we have. We tend to overlook the little accomplishments because others don't celebrate us for them. Others may not give you roses but, that doesn't mean that you cannot give them to yourself. By using this exercise you will learn to give yourself praise for even the little things because they count too.

Since we have the introductions out the way and we have done our warm-up let's get down to business. Today I wanted to talk with you all about healing. I don't mean physical wounds either! I am talking about the healing of our souls. More specifically, the process of healing the pain from the past that left a scar within us. Have you ever went through the healing process before?

When I started thinking about healing, I was honestly excited because I am at a point in my life I want to heal and move forward in my life. On the other hand, the reality of healing isn't as easy as I thought it would be. In my heart, I believed that I was ready to begin healing. When in reality, I didn't know where to start. I spent an entire weekend just laying in bed with everything on do not disturb trying my best to figure out where to start. I was so stuck that I almost felt myself about to slip into a depression. I was becoming frustrated because I thought that it would be simpler than this.

The next thing I knew, two weeks had already gone by, and I was at the same place I started. That's when it happened; the thought, why not heal the same way you do your laundry. By starting at the top of the basket and sectioning off your clothes by colors. The entire time I was debating what to do and start healing; I was thinking of my healing as a simple linear task. Being as though I am a complex person, how could I think my healing wouldn't be just as complex. From that moment, the real work began...the healing process was finally here.

Tackling trauma and hurt one by one I've been able to start my process to heal. Now, this isn't a blog entry to brag about my healing process at all. My point is to get you all thinking about how you can start yours. Many things in life may affect a person. Knowing how to heal all of those wounds will help you on your journey to becoming your best self. Maybe you already know how to heal. If so, share some tips in the comment section below. Or maybe, you were like me and didn't even know where to start. Maybe, you needed to know that you aren't the only one struggling on the journey of healing. Wherever you are in your journey, I hope that I have been able to shine some light on your path. Continue to grow to become the best you that you aspire to be. I'm rooting for you.

Have a great Friday! Lucky D. out!
