How are you doing, Friend?

I’ve discovered that grieving is a way to become unstuck. It’s a process of coming to accept what seems unacceptable. It changes you for the good, but it leaves you different.

Can you remember a time when you felt stuck? Perhaps you wanted to change but weren’t sure who or what would help. Maybe you’d already tried many solutions. I have been there many times.

You can only experience something for the first time once in your life. Once you experience it, you are changed. Those second and following experiences aren’t the same. Consider—the first bite of that heavenly dessert or that first sip of refreshingly cold water on a scorching hot day. Though you may finish the rest, it won’t be the same as the first.

Life is like a series of gates you go through. The gates are one-way doors. After you go through them, you can’t go back. All you can do is view the past from a distance.

Here are three reasons why you should become better at grieving. Follow that link to an improved and expanded version of the post I wrote back in April.

Emotional Healing is the subject of an experiential course I’ve developed. Emotional Healing is available for a substantial discount until Independence Day (July 4, 2022). You can purchase it for $44 instead of $100. Today could be the day you declare independence from the lies that lower your self-worth
