Making peace is necessary because it is a step in the right direction, that of moving on. It involves five steps to resolve a difficult situation and or experience.
You first have to acknowledge and confront your feelings.
Next, you have to understand why those feelings exist and how they are affecting you. This involves reaching in the past to see how it is affecting your present.
Forgiveness is next. This is hard to do. Sometimes it is impossible to forgive but if you’re up to it, forgive yourself and others for their part in causing you distress. Easier said than done I know.
Then comes letting go. This part is not easy either but it needs to be done to move forward. Release negative emotions and leave it behind you and don’t keep looking back at that closed door.
The final part is moving forward. You’ll have to find a way to live with what you’ve experienced without letting it dominate your life.
Making peace is a journey just like moving on is. You’ll have to take it one day at a time and be ready to stand back up if you take a fall which will happen. Sometimes it takes several falls before you find your way again.
Here are some quotes to help you on your way.
“One of the most courageous decisions you’ll ever make is to finally let go of what is hurting your heart and soul.” Brigitte Nicole
“It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.” Eleanor Roosevelt
“Closure happens right after you accept that letting go and moving on is more important than projecting a fantasy of how the relationship could have been.” Unknown
“If you don’t make peace with your past, it will keep showing up in your present.” Wayne Dyer
This is so true.
“Making peace with your past means:
Grieving the version of yourself who made different choices, lived with different perspectives, and walked a different path.” Unknown
MOVING ON…….
“You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation, trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could’ve, would’ve happened ….or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.” Tupac Shakur
Beautifully said.
Have an amazing day.
