When you’re mad at someone who has mistreated you or done
something almost unforgivable, the person who is suffering is not them, it’s
YOU! That miserable feeling that you get
each time you see them, that anger that builds up – you’re the one suffering
not them. Understanding the power of
forgiving will help you feel better inside, help you move on, and help you get
over this person/this action completely and with no ill feelings.
You see when someone has hurt you – family member,
boyfriend/girlfriend, even co-workers; no one feels that pain like you. Yea, they may say they feel bad and they’re
sorry, but no one can understand the depth of that pain; that heartache that
you feel, especially when you’ve been wronged in a really bad way.
The Power of Forgiving
Eating is a part of life. Your body gets its nutrients from food. Sometimes we can go overboard with our eating habits and it can result in gaining weight. One issue with food is emotional eating.
The problem of emotional eating may end with the scale but it begins in the mind. Stress takes its toll on your life. When your defenses are compromised your health takes a hit and so do your emotions.
Overcoming Emotional Eating
I'm sure everyone has experienced anxiety at some point in their life. Have you ever been in a situation that brought on sweats, rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath? You probably weren’t having a heart attack but an anxiety attack. If you suffer from anxiety disorders, learning to manage it is the first step to overcoming it.
Anxiety is characterized as extreme reactions to fearful situations. When someone follows you into a dark alley, those anxious feelings of a racing heartbeat and sweaty palms gives way to heightened senses and a rush of adrenalin that can save your life. This is the fight or flight syndrome.
Easy Ways to Manage Anxiety
Parents that are abusive often deny that the abuse has ever taken place. And if it is not denied, then it may even be minimized. Both of these actions can have devastating consequences on the lives of those that were abused.
So here I want to take a closer look at why parents deny or minimize abuse and why adult children of abuse are affected by this denial and minimization.
Denial And Minimization
Abusive Parents: Why Do They Deny What Happened?
Everyone wants to get motivated but do you know what motivation is exactly? It is the psychological feature that arouses someone (human or organism) towards a desired goal. Achieving what you want in life means getting motivated. In fact, inspiration along with perspiration is the key ingredients of making you a success. Each one of us have unique needs and desires that requires a push to facilitate action. These are eventually the things that motivate you.
Motivation is the driving force by which humans achieve their goals. It is actually the incentive that we seek and the perks that we require to push ourselves. In fact, it is the inspiration we live and the spirit of innovation that helps us to achieve our desires. It lights a fire and is a gentle hand that pushes us forward. Everyone needs to be motivated in order to succeed in life. It is this push that helps you to make the most of everything. However, striving to achieve the skills is also crucial.
Getting Motivated Inspires You to Achieve Things
"Patience? What are you talking about? I don't have time for patience! I want what I want, and I want it now! In fact, I don't want it now. I need it now!"
Sound familiar? Stuff to do just seems to keep piling up and yet, time just keeps moving. There's not enough time to do everything we want to do, the car in front of us is moving too slow, the store clerk is nowhere to be found, we're on hold waiting for an operator, the check is in the mail, we're not old enough yet, we don't have enough money to get that item, it's not the weekend yet, the baby isn't here yet, the car isn't ready, and some day I'll have all the things I want.
Patience Is Painful
No relationship is perfect - all of us have to go through some rough patches in our lives, and some of this has something to do with the issues of trust. Once trust is broken, you can no longer expect your relationship to be as peaceful as it used to be, because you will always be confronted with issues involving trust. But if you know these tips on how to handle trust issues in your relationship, then you can still probably fix all the trust issues you are faced with.
Start with a Positive Mind
Sometimes, going through hard times in a relationship can drain all the positive energy in you, and thus, you'll end up feeling so devastated and irritated. But if you still want to work out your relationship, then always maintain a positive attitude even in the midst of a relationship crisis. The best way on this is to look for activities that could free your mind from such a bad experience, or look for something to do that could keep you busy so you will not be confronted with whatever it is that you and your partner has gone through.
Be Open to Forgiveness
If your partner is the one at fault, then be open to forgive him/her if you want your relationship to be back to normal. You cannot go on with your relationship if you no longer trust your partner so you must teach yourself the value of forgiveness. It might be hard for you to forget all that your partner has done, but once you learn to forgive, then forgetting everything will eventually be easy for you to do.
How to Handle Trust Issues in a Relationship
Is it that God is not listening, does not care, or wishes for the abused to remain in their terrible condition? Or maybe none of those is correct. Maybe He is answering our prayers, but not the way we expect.
In the midst of ongoing heartache, for many years the consistent, intentional prayer of my heart was that God would open the eyes of my abusive spouse and restore our relationship to wholeness. Now the Word says that if I "have the faith of a mustard seed," the mountain will be moved. So I prayed for more faith. And because Paul wrote that, "love never fails," I prayed that God would make me more loving. I also believed that my prayer would eventually win the day because, "the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much." And in His miraculous name, I anticipated the ultimate, favorable answer to the singular cry of my heart: "Lord, save our marriage."
