Day 9: Bruises take time to heal

Didn’t really have photos to post today, so here’s a meme of how I feel.

Today I got the reminder that bruises take time to heal. Especially those that aren’t physical. Just another moment of being held accountable for past actions in ways you didn’t expect. I’m grateful for it though and I’m excited to move past it.

It did lead me to doing a bit of comfort binge eating and now my stomach regrets that decision. 😭😭 I feel like i’ve been blown up like a balloon.

More family issues, not of my own were brought to my attention today. Just reminders to continue to pray for those you love and to do what you can while you can, but I won’t operate outside of my authenticity or in any way that makes me uncomfortable.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow, for it’s an opportunity to start fresh after today’s craziness.

Also I’m on book 3 now. 😭 I finished The Siren and The Angel of Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners series.

BOOK TWO TOOK ME THROUGH IT. But I give it a 10/10. Maybe I’ll post a review of the series once I’m done. 😊 We love a new content idea.

... Read moreHealing from emotional bruises can often take longer than physical ones, and understanding this can be the first step towards personal growth. Many individuals find themselves grappling with accountability, which can trigger unexpected feelings and reflections. This can lead to coping mechanisms like comfort eating, a common response during tough emotional times. It’s crucial to acknowledge these feelings rather than suppress them. Remember, it’s okay to seek solace in food occasionally, but be mindful of how it affects your wellbeing. Family dynamics can often come into play during personal struggles, highlighting the importance of addressing emotional ties while remaining authentic to oneself. It's vital to foster a supportive environment and remind yourself to prioritize your mental health amidst the challenges life presents. Taking each day as an opportunity for a fresh start can be incredibly empowering. Engaging with literature or hobbies can also serve as a great outlet for stress and distraction. Sharing your thoughts or reviews on books can create connections within communities facing similar experiences. Documenting your journey not only helps in processing emotions but also inspires others to navigate their tribulations. Embrace the opportunity for renewal each day brings, and allow yourself time to heal.
