Genuine question: do you let bruises heal?
Or do you keep prodding them?
🧐
I’m guessing you leave them alone.
Because on some level you understand that life energy/the wisdom of the mind-body/your innate health will just get on with it in the background.
A silent, invisible process.
But oh how our tune changes when it’s a bruised ego, or a psychological thwack we’ve received from another person, or something that’s happened.
Repeatedly thinking about it is the equivalent of repeatedly prodding the bruise.
It doesn’t give life energy/the wisdom of the mind-body/your innate health the chance to do its stuff in the background: to heal, to process silently and invisibly.
To provide perspective.
We innocently re-traumatise our selves every time we prod that bruise.
How about you stop doing that?
