Holiday Season Suffering

Traumatic past experiences are often triggered and become heightened during celebratory occasions such as Christmas, Birthdays, Graduations and other milestone events that cause us to reflect upon our memories.
Often isolation from loved ones will induce debilitating bouts of loneliness, whilst not being permitted to be present during celebrations, particularly those involving our children, creates devastating heartache.

Far too often we hear of these forced separations being used as a weapon to target a spouse or partner after relationship breakdowns.
Having the necessary tools to deal with the pain of these events is absolutely necessary if we are to safely navigate our way through this mental anguish.
Most of us have family, friends or people we’ve known who haven’t been able to manage their hurt and have made the ultimate decision to remove themselves from their pain, in turn creating a tsunami of pain for those left behind to deal with that decision.

The ability to utilise acceptance of what is, of that which we cannot change, is paramount to finding our way through the darkness and into the light. If we continue to replay traumatic past events over and over in our minds, we will not allow ourselves the opportunity to remove ourselves from continual suffering. Moving forward and moving on affords us the opportunity to attain clarity and focus through practice, which in turn can open a positive new mindset. Positive people have the ability to change outcomes, to find new ways and to create resolutions. Those left in the mire of negativity are bound by their suffering and become blinded to the possibilities that open up to them.

Please don’t allow yourselves to wallow in the pain of mental anguish, our lives are too precious for that. We are all blessed with the necessary tools to find our own peace and happiness, all we need do is ask for directions.
