Time does NOT heal
Have you ever heard people make statements like, “Just give it time, it will go away” or “Time is a healer. In no time, you won’t even feel the pain anymore.”
Time is a powerful resource, but it cannot change anything on its own. Other activities must interact with time in order for true change to occur.
For example, if you drop a ball from the top of a 21-story building, it will eventually land on the ground. But was it really time that caused it to fall to the ground?
Not at all!
What really happened? Gravity stepped in — it’s the undeniable law that causes everything that goes up to come down.
When you plant a seed, for example: beans, in the ground, something grows after a few weeks. Was time alone the cause of its growth? Yes and no. Yes, because ‘time’ implies that there is existence and that everything in the universe remains in order and motion.
Even a verse says “As long as the earth REMAINS…”
The Earth will continue to exist as long as it has not been swallowed by a wormhole or self-destructed due to nuclear warfare.
So, what causes plants to grow? It’s the soil and the organic interaction of the seed with water, soil, and fertilizer — not to mention the place of weeding and clearing.
Do you see?
This is why you should not put off your pain and traumatic struggles hoping that they would go away ‘someday’. You must collide with it and resolve them right now.
The best thing that time can do for you is to help you forget rather than heal.
If you forget, there is a very good chance that something, someone, or some situation will trigger that entire experience, and the wound and pain you thought was gone will come at you like a rushing mighty wind.
To heal, you must be:
- Intentional
- Establish a support system
- Attend therapy as often as possible or hire a personal therapist
- Engage in soul-refreshing activities
- Reframe the past and create empowering beliefs for your future
…and speaking of therapy, my three special journals (The Wellness Journal, Ideation Journal, and the Future Journal) will be released in the next few days.
Pre-orders are still available for 75% off the regular price. With these journals, you’ll have the rare opportunity to be a self-therapist.
Using my experience as a therapist and a creative writer, I’ve created these journals that will truly assist you in reaching a place of healing and wholeness.
You can get them HERE.
