Are you healing or simply reliving the past?
Every thought you repeatedly focus on strengthens the emotional experience attached to it. That is why it is important to pay attention to what you give your mind. Most people believe venting helps them heal, but they rarely stop to consider what is happening inside their brain while they are retelling the story.
When you explain a painful experience, your attention returns to every detail. You picture it, replay it, and relive it. Your brain responds to those thoughts by producing the same chemical reactions that created the original emotional experience. Even though the event is over, your mind continues to recreate the suffering because it is focused on it again.
Ask yourself this. Will telling this story change the past? Will another person’s acceptance erase what happened? Or are you simply teaching your mind to stay connected to an experience that no longer serves you?
This does not mean you should ignore your emotions or pretend nothing happened. It means you should become intentional about where you place your focus. Learn from the experience, take the lesson, then begin directing your attention toward the life you want to create instead of the pain you have already lived.
Your thoughts influence your emotions. Your emotions influence your actions. Your actions influence your results. The direction of your life follows the direction of your focus.
You are influencing your future every moment of every day. Stop feeding yesterday’s pain. Start feeding today’s possibilities. The life you experience tomorrow is being created by what you choose to focus on today.
