Heal your Heart

We all have been through a lot in the last 2 years. In my living years the last two years have had maximum toll on my emotional wellbeing; when I saw, so many untimely demises around me, or people losing some part of their body parts due black fungus and many more painful moments. All of us lost someone near or dear to us, so the pain is not unknown to us. Today, also, we see young people losing their lives especially to cardiac arrests or sudden deaths – be it on a treadmill or while getting ready to work or in bath or after a party or a long day. I don’t know what’s causing all that and I am not sure if so many people are doing the things the wrong way; pandemic and its effects are still unknown and unpredictable.

With every loss we have lost a part of our heart, our soul, our being, because we loved the people who passed on to the other side. Hence, it is important for us to recognize the importance of healing our heart. We have been compassionate and would continue to do so in coming days and months as well. But with each loss, with each compassionate conversation that we have with others, be it at work or at home, a bit of our heart is hurt. It is time to be compassionate towards our heart, it’s time to take care of it and heal the heart. 

When I became conscious about healing my heart, first thing I did was - I stopped fighting my emotions. I let my emotions flow, if tears rolled down my eyes, I let them roll, I just went with my emotive stream. There was no resistance inside me. I experienced the emotions as they came. Some days I was okay, some days I was not. But I needed to stop wearing the façade of being a strong woman. Removing that façade made my healing process faster, as I was not going against my own heart. It felt lighter and calmer sooner than I expected.

One more small thing that supported me in healing my heart was having heart-to-heart conversations with a bestie or a fellow coach. Bestie (Best Friend) is very close and she or he knows me in and out; so, a bestie wouldn’t judge. On another hand, a coach is a kind of a stranger and I being a coach myself, know coaches don’t judge you. These heart-to-heart conversations helped me see perspectives that were clouded by my emotions. Each new perspective was a window of possibility - something beyond my limited thoughts. This made my heart feel good.

So go on and heal your heart, be more compassionate and stronger to be able to heal many more people around you.

Have a great week ahead.
