Life Prescription/Emotion/ Baggage

We all have baggage. Some of us are really good at masking it, others hang on to baggage to the extent, that life events feel current. People can actually give you an account as if it happened yesterday. When in fact whatever emotional crisis, mishap or trauma really occurred years ago. Amazing how pain can linger for years, and have a negative affect.

Baggage can feel heavy, and we all know for sure it's toxic. Negative emotions manifest in weight gain, has been linked to disease, physical and mental. Let's not forget spiritually what it does to you In the department of unforgiveness, the mind relives that thing over and over again.

Why do we struggle with letting go, it's a flaw and a mystery in human beings. But let's talk about it, and then talk about a way to be free!

Hanging on to pain, can be a way of broadcasting to our mind and others, it really did happen, we of course in this case seek validation. It was real, and I'm paying for it. Hanging on to the pain can also justify being handicap, and a reason for low performance in a person's life , the reason why I can't, won't attempt because I'm damaged and that's just the way it is.

As a result bitterness and victim mentality can become an old friend a way of retreating to an old familiar place. It can be the reason why I can't succeed, because I didn't intentionally choose those awful things that happen to me in the first place.

Sounds morbid and self - defeating it is. First I need to say I don't attempt to shrink the painful injustice that has happened in a person's life. The atrocities in humanity have been documented all throughout history, and left scars on our society and in the mind of individuals that have been wronged.

But hanging onto pain only allows it to fester, and we all know that old wounds are infectious and over time they begin to smell when not treated properly.

So how do we move forward and free ourselves, when our mind, body and spirit is screaming for help. We face it , acknowledge it, talk about it, pray about it, tell others and they talk about it, create communities that stand against negative behaviors , continue to elect law makers who legislate penalties against cruel behavior.

Last but not least the most powerful ingredient that will begin the process of healing and release mental anguish to set your spirit free is forgiveness. Forgiveness is an acknowledgment that it really did happen, you did it, I suffered for it, but I will use it to strengthen me, use it to move me forward to my next chapter! Courageously declaring it will not be allowed to master and dominant my existence. You have been pardoned and whatever destiny that lies and await your future is no longer a part of me I am free.
