Take a moment to self-reflect on everything you’ve ever been through. Oh yeah, this is probably not the kind of journey you’ve been hoping for, but it is necessary to take a ride in that dark place by doing what is called “shadow work.” Otherwise, the traumas will continue to haunt you forever, and I know you do NOT want to dwell in misery.

The truth is that our past traumas will always be there with us. It has made a home in us because the awful memory of it has been imprinted in our minds. There’s nothing we can do to erase it. The problem is that we try to erase it, but that will only drive us insane because we’re trying to do something that is impossible. The solution is to gain new insight and perspectives that help you cope with the tragic events that have happened to you. You have to increase your knowledge, particularly in human behavior and psychology, in order to make sense out of these painful experiences. We have to accept the fact that it happened, and there’s nothing we can do about it. However, the only thing we can change is how our minds perceive it, so that we can lead a healthier life moving forward. I keep mentioning “brain plasticity” for a reason. When I first read about it, I was excited because a light bulb went on in my head, and I was filled with hope. Yes, that moment was the highlight of my psychology studies.

What is “brain plasticity?”

To sum it up, it’s basically your brain’s ability to mold itself overtime depending on the type of things you feed it with. Your mind is always at work. It never quits unless you allow yourself to dumb down, but we’re not about to do that. If you are reading this then you’re far from being dumb. You actually want to learn, and you’re never too old to learn new things. You can love knowledge without degrees. The real degrees are the levels you reach that increase your cognitive abilities which includes healing, elevating your IQ, learning, and any form of intellectual development.

Reading is a great habit to have, but if you struggle with that there’s always audiobooks and documentaries. As long as you’re always learning new things, you’ll keep that brain evolving, and you’ll feel more enriched. This also makes it easier for you to reach a higher level of understanding that will help you make sense out of your experiences, so that you can extract information from it. If there’s nothing to extract, well the only thing that can happen is that you will stop having hatred and anger inside of you because YOU CANNOT HATE WHAT YOU ALREADY UNDERSTAND. As fucked up as those experiences were, we have to get to a point where we must gain back control of our minds. It is for your own good that you reclaim your mind. Remember that YOUR MIND belongs TO YOU, and the more you learn, the more control you will have of your life.

If the pain has kept you stagnated for years because of the bombarding of evil and negative thoughts, then you have a legit concern. Never let anyone tell you that “you’ve been through nothing.” They’re clearly showing you that they have NO empathy. Therefore, you should not be concerned with the opinion of someone who lacks empathy. You know what happened to you and how it affected you, so let’s acknowledge it.

Allow the pain to set in for a little while, and feel it cut through you deeply.

Oh it hurts so bad.

I know.

I know exactly how you feel.

It hurts even more when you continue to run into people who constantly prove to you how untrustworthy the human race really is.

You’ve probably confided in the wrong people who ended up backstabbing you or used your traumas as insults against you.
They had no chill when it came to their cruelty.

But that’s OK. That only exposes the lack of character they have.

You don’t need to worry about that anymore because you are now on the road to recovery, and you better not stop because it will only get better from here.

When you self-improve, it’s all about you.

It’s time to revert your focus back to you.
Do not allow these trash ass people to live rent-free in your mind. Your time and energy is far too precious to be wasting it on fake people who only wanted to hurt, destroy, and bring you down for absolutely no reason at all. You did NOT harm them, yet they went out of their way to hurt you.

So, this is what people do with their freewill?

They just use it to hurt people, and then gain some sick pleasure out of it on top of that. What the fuck kind of people are they?

Not relevant. Unimportant. Insignificant.
Some of them are even “soulless.”
Because of that, they should no longer dwell in your mind. You have better things to do with your mind. You can create, build, and innovate instead of dwelling in the dramatization of the retraumatization. This is when you remember those times that reopened the old wounds, or when they hurt you knowing damn well that you’ve had a history of being hurt ALREADY, and they didn’t give two shits about how it made you feel. So when you self-improve, don’t worry about how they feel about your progress in life.

Let’em hate!

Only those who don’t love you will hate your growth. It’s because of this that it is essential that we master the art of self-healing. This is a superpower that you must have in order to become indestructible and unstoppable in life.

Your past traumas have delayed your healing as the anguish served as a reminder of how worthless you thought you were. You are not worthless. Do not allow the broken record to keep playing that same ol’ stupid song that has been keeping you at a low-vibration. Let me tell you about that low-vibration: it will keep you from growing, which means you will not be able to heal. The low-vibration is like being trapped in a dungeon.

The dark place.

The sunken place where your identity is forgotten, and you’re slowly being tormented psychologically, and the only way you cope with it is by fleeting desires that only make you feel even more empty. Everyday you lose yourself more and more because you’ve had to live in silence for so long.


WHY YOU SHOULD SELF-HEAL

-To prevent yourself from making the same mistakes over and over again, which would lead you to your demise.

-You’re not giving anyone leverage over you to control, manipulate, or hurt you because you’re not giving them the ammo to do so. And even if they already know your insecurities and weaknesses, it wouldn’t bother you because you’ve already accepted your flaws, and/or you’ve overcame those things.

-You will not put up with abuse and mistreatment because you would have mastered emotional detachment from those who’ve betrayed and hurt you.

Basically, self-healing will kick that co-dependency out of you. Please note that you do NOT need the acceptance or approval of others to know that you are worth a lot. Stop looking up to others for validation especially if you are surrounded by toxic and abusive people. They will never tell you how great you really are, so you better start learning how to do it yourself. Even if you don’t believe it. You have to make yourself believe in yourself, and a great way to make it convincing is by getting into that self-improvement journey.


WHAT IS SELF-IMPROVEMENT?

There are many aspects to it. Here’s some to name a few:

Health/Fitness: Going to the gym and working out for health and aesthetic reasons. You wanna look and feel amazing! If you wanna read more about this check out, “Iron Power: My Health/Fitness Journey.”

Finances: Learn about financial literacy, how to build passive income and wealth, learn about entrepreneurship, create your own business, find a niche and start a website to build an audience who will be open to supporting your book/product/content.

Wisdom/Knowledge: Build your mind up by reading books on various subjects. You wanna be aware of certain aspects of life especially things like psychology, holistic health, and human behavior. Books only contains worldly knowledge though, we have yet more depth to explore, and make the connections that gives us greater insight. That’s where wisdom comes in. Wisdom is soul-saving information that cannot be found in textbooks. Wisdom is birthed from philosophical and existential questioning that makes us think deeply about life. We meditate on it, and the longer we do this, we will eventually come to some possible conclusions. If we pay attention and observe more, we will find the answers we’ve been looking for. Wisdom comes from the Divine Source. It pours into your mind like water does in a cup, and it’s very refreshing when it happens. That’s what you call “feeding the spirit.” Your consistency of wisdom-seeking is what will keep you rejuvenated, and you will only get better with age.

Knowledge of Self: You must know who you are. Get to know YOU. You’ve been lost for a long time, but now it’s time to wake up, and look in the mirror and learn to love that beautiful reflection despite the many times you were made to hate it. Fuck those people who made you hate your image. Fuck everyone who called you ugly or made you feel inferior. They don’t even love themselves, which is why they couldn’t love you. Now, it’s time for YOU to love YOU. Through your self-love you will begin to see who you really are and who you’re suppose to be. If you don’t know who you are, then you must take some time off to yourself and spend some time in solitude. Think about the things you used to love doing as a child. There had to be some type of creative hobby you liked doing. Maybe some art? Drawing, painting, music, sports, etc. Whatever it is, go back and get back into those things even if it’s been years or decades since then. It’s about that time you got back to those hobbies of yours. The closest way to find your purpose is by doing what you love, and constantly sharpening your craft each and every day.

Find your Purpose: Yes, speaking of purpose. In the process of finding yourself and regaining your identity, you will eventually know your purpose. Once you do, this is where you will feel a great sense of relief because now you know exactly what to do. Everyday you will be diligent in getting better and better. It doesn’t have to pay the bills yet. Just enjoy it for now, and soon enough you may be able to monetize your talents. Once you get to that point, that’s when life gets really great, but don’t focus so much on the money. Just bask in the glory you get from doing what brings you joy, and allow it to serve as a constant reminder that life can be beautiful. If you wanna read more about this check out, “The Art of Making Something Out Nothing.”

You control who gets to stay in your life. No one can force you to do anything unless you relinquish your power to them. Stop giving your power away to people who don’t even love you. You want to be the master of your own life. Your decisions will dictate how you want your life to go, and we want our lives to be beautiful. Some people may’ve taken away your will to live. They may’ve made you want to give up on life. Certain events may’ve even pushed you into the brink of suicide.

But guess what though?

You write your own script, so fuck what they’re talking about.

IT IS NOW TIME FOR YOU TO RISE…

AND KEEP ON RISING AGAIN AND AGAIN.

RISE TO PROMINENCE BY YOUR EXCELLENCE.

Once you master the art of self-healing you will NOT go back to those who hurt you. You will develop a taste aversion for them, and you’ll become a firm believer of never going back to your own vomit.

Now, it’s time to love yourself enough to seek healing, and the most powerful skill to achieve is self-healing because that way, you will always have YOU to listen to your own thoughts, to check in on YOU, and you don’t have to worry about anyone gossiping about any of it. YOU build that direct connection with the Almighty One who will give you what you need when you’re feeling down. Stop looking for a man or woman to save you, and allow yourself to be restored by God. No matter what happens to you, you will always win when you master the art of self-healing because it will make you emotionally independent and increase your mental fortitude.

Do you know how powerful you are when you can soothe your own wounds all by yourself?

Allow God to do the work that man can’t do because most of mankind will only seek to exploit you. At least when God uses you, it’ll be for your own good, so continue to grow spiritually and don’t lose faith. I don’t care about what anyone says. I will continue to glorify God.
