Time Heals: ‘Can time really heal?’
Time, as the old adage goes, can make all things right. It’s sound counsel that many of us have given to friends whose hearts have been broken. And the quote goes on because we always end up giving them some sort of guidance. Telling them that yes, time does help heal wounds. Yet, will it? Does passing time make everything better, including the wounds, traumas, and hurts that needed healing? Is it true that time heals us, or that we simply become numb to the pain while believing that we have recovered?
Counsel of Time
It is crucial that no time be lost. It has been said that the passage of time aids in the healing of physical and emotional wounds. People have told us that time will help us recover from the pain that we are currently experiencing. As we are currently in the process of recovering from our wounds, time plays a significant part in our overall recovery. But will the scars of the past fade away as the years go by? It could be, but it could also be wrong.
How we deal with it and how we try to heal ourselves will determine the outcome. A friend’s advice could be useful, but ultimately it’s up to you to put it into practice. The first step toward recovery would be to give yourself some space, take a few deep breaths, and organize your thoughts.
Among the most common adages is “time heals all wounds,” and yet this might not be entirely accurate. While you are trying to recover from the wounds or traumas you have experience. It’s not easy, is it? simply because you are not prepared for this. Healing is a process that can take time. Yes, it can, but the time is yours to do with as you please. This means that getting to a point where you can heal takes time. Just tell yourself that I’m going to start feeling better tomorrow. You should take some time off for yourself. Allow yourself time to grieve, to cry, to feel the pain that must be feel before you can begin to heal. To be ready for your healing, acceptance is the most crucial factor.
And once all of that is finish, you are in a position to begin processing yourself. Begin the process of healing that you so richly deserve. That’s because you, and not time, holds the key to your recovery. You can only begin your own process, so time is only there for you to be ready. And you get to be the one to kick things off.
Not the time period itself, because even if it takes decades, it will not be worth it. If you are not willing to work on your own healing, you will never recover from this. Acceptance, self-love, and self-awareness are the things that bring about healing.
