Hi Girlie,
I’m on a mission to help girlies live life as their healed selves and I hope you can be one of them. If you've already read more self-help books than you can count but are still feeling very much unhealed, take it from me and ditch the books for a while.
I myself have read so many self-help books but for the longest time the knowledge I had gained was just not transferring into my physical life. It was so discouraging and I thought I was doomed to carry my trauma and pain with me forever. I thought I was never going to be able to feel safe in relationships and that conflict would continue to follow me.
Everything changed when I stopped studying my trauma and pain. I studied my needs and wants instead. I studied what love was for me so that I was ready to appreciate it and recognize it. I studied the activities that brought me joy and I did them. I stopped thinking about forever and focused on the moment and the situations right in front of me. I started to see every moment as a HUGE opportunity to add healing to my life.
In switching from self-help to self healing I learned that:
Healing is not a feeling but rather an action!
It’s IN the journey rather than a destination.

I learned that:
If I say no to things you don’t want, I heal.
If I do the things I want to do or say I will do, I heal.
If I tell someone they hurt me, even if it risks losing them, I heal.
If I stop people from gossiping to me, I heal.
Every time I don’t take something personally, I heal.
Every time I hold a boundary, even if it upsets someone or puts me at risk of losing them, I heal.
Basically, I started living for ME. Still gentle and compassionate towards others but being able to live a healed life is personal to me. It’s my only priority in each opportunity I have to be my healed self no matter who is disappointed by this.
Healing isn’t an apology or acknowledgment of wrong doing, it’s not even a promise of behaviour not being repeated. Healing is taking control over your choices and actions in each moment.
Your reaction to life is your opportunity.
Be willing to lose anything for your healing. It’s your life. Your time is limited.
I have so much more to share, so follow for more and please give me feedback in the comments and let me know whether this is helpful or ask questions about anything!
Love, your Healed Bestie 💋
