You are a miracle - Let it happen

Speak About It And You Can Heal

August 11, 2025•Health, Self-development

I am not a person who can be easily affected by the weather. I even like periods of rain or even fog since it makes me feel kind of cozy. But I could feel it physically that these gray, cold, and wet conditions during almost the whole month of July were about to leave something. Although I am sleeping surprisingly well, I am more tired and lack energy. I caught myself accepting and dwelling in that lazy mood, which was not helpful. I understand that people who already tend towards depression can get soaked up in a negative mood. Realizing this, I asked myself Now what do I do about it? First thing: I started writing this post to distance myself from the problem and get into observation and solution mode. That is always one of the best ways for me to resolve an issue or at least find approaches to get there.

Of course, the above is a minor issue compared to other problems people have to deal with. But no matter what we carry around, talking about it, writing it down for oneself, or even letting thoughts wander around the problem and allowing them to take a different direction helps for a different and distanced view on an issue. Sometimes it is not even necessary to get advice. Often, the answer (clear and strong) comes from ourselves by pulling everything out. If it is meant to receive advice, only then are we even open to recognizing it. That advice can be a one-to-one talk. But it can also be a sentence or word we read somewhere, a song we hear, a conversation of other people we overhear, a sudden memory, or anything that suddenly speaks to us unexpectedly.

Don’t hide in your shell. It may appear easier and less painful to keep it all deep down, but over the long run, it isn’t. It will be only more strenuous and exhausting to push it back down over and over again. Speak up and let it out in the way the occasion provides. Yes, we can make people feel uncomfortable and even upset them, or make ourselves vulnerable. But only then can something change. It is a step out of a prison we might not even have realized we sit in – until that moment when the pressure seems to eat us up. Feeling that pressure is the clear sign that you are ready to stand up and resolve something for good.

In Love and Light

I’m having this kind of experience lately and often sitting back and trying a different approach can be helpful, as long as this isn’t seen as a weakness and exploited. But we tend to think in black and white and people can get entrenched in their viewpoints and it can make it a harder way back. You’re right however, forgiveness as a way of moving forward is a strength.

That’s why I believe we are here: Testing what works and what doesn’t. Testing what feels good and what doesn’t. If it does not work or feel good this way then try it that way. And never care what others think about it. Because it is your way not theirs. Therefore no one can really judge another one since we all have different starting points and destinations which makes the journeys so individual.

Thank you very much for reading and sharing your thoughts, Paul 😊

I agree! When we write things down we get into silence and take time for ourselves, which means we do listen to ourselves. It is amazing how much we can learn from what we have to tell. Thank you very much for stopping by 😊

That Akshay Dubey quote was an interesting perspective in the context of your Post because it took me into a related but different direction!

While it is so important to understand and accept that healing does not mean that there was never an issue, but rather that the issue no longer controls ones life ………. such is the same for forgiveness. What so many people do not understand about forgiveness is that it does not minimize the issue involved. Forgiving another is not approving of what they did, or making it ok ……… but, as in the healing quote, is simply saying I am now going to move forward with my life.

It is interesting, a few days ago, I created a meme about forgiving and it goes into the direction you explained here. Forgiving is truly not a sign of approving the deeds of others, nor is it a weakness but actually a strength that helps us to unchain ourselves.

Thank you, Colin. I hope you are doing good 😊

The longer we hold things in and continue to stuff them down, at some point it will rise and it could be the slightest thing that triggers the eruption.
You’re so right, we need to find an outlet for our own well-being.

Profound words Erika. We get into ‘habits’ of a well worn path. Be it because it seems to be easier or we are afraid to go into ‘change’ as we all tend to do. So like you, I have a place to contemplate the ‘where am I’ within that scope. A cup of coffee, a walk along the beach, and even a chat to a few of the magpies that call that spot home. And they all have something to say…am I enjoying myself, am I struggling, is what is wrong controlling me more than normal. Even my chat with friends mirrors back to me where I’m at. And in that of them all is like you say, can I step beyond it or stay in its pain. Be it physical or emotional.

So regardless, I usually feel so much better in going beyond it with all of the above. Especially the love I feel from those interactions with others, that sharing that our acceptance of that love opens us to, and brings us into a more balanced and loving way. A healing all its own kind lady, as even my comments shared here does for me also.

A great post my friend, I feel better already. Thank you for sharing your love in this post 🤗❤️🙏

You put this very well. In the end, it is a habit to resign, to hide, or to push feelings down that may take some courage and effort. I love how you mentioned the interaction with others. That is a vivid exchange of reflections. That way we grow fluently by listening and thinking about it. Everything we hear means something – or we wouldn’t have heard it.

I am very happy that this post had a positive effect on you, dear Mark. And, again it happened, that I sent myself an important message I needed to read right today💖

We are always in a powerful energy kind lady, that love we step into or out of. And the very fact that we do teaches us so beautifully, even if some days we are so ill. But those days teach us too, an appreciation of the good days, the empathy and compassion because we’ve been there, and to become better healers by believing in ourselves because we did take this very path we are on.

And what you say about those ‘vivid exchange of reflections’ means class is in (not that we ever get out of class 🤗), and its ‘change’ is always knocking on our door to become it.

Thank you for the share kind lady, these very ‘chats’ shift us from the many inputs, and the love and care that endear us to one another…and in doing so dare us to feel them, measure their worth, and go beyond them. In fact, its 9.30am here, it must be time to ponder what we have spoken, down on the beach. It’s coffee time! 🤣🏖🏄‍♀️🐬❤️🙏

Right, we never get out of class but then we recognize us in. And once we recognize we learn sinks so much deeper.

I envy you a bit that you can go to the beach to let the thoughts come together. I hope you enjoyed it, Mark 💖

It was a delight as always Erika, nice rhythmic waves, the odd dolphin chasing a feed, sunshine and a few friends wandering the same patch I was. It seems to be one of those places where it doesn’t matter if for a walk, a swim, a coffee or a chat it brings many.

This ‘batch’ of people is what we all call the ‘silent sickness’ group. We’re all going through our ‘stuff’ but all seem to come to this spot. It calms, it grounds and it heals with each other or the lovely energy it holds.

It is a big BBQ area with an ocean baths and lots of seating. In the course of a few hours it can have a bus load of school children on an excursion, an autistic group, oldies with a home care minder, alone fathers meeting or just visitors admiring the spot.

I’ve been told that this particular area is an aboriginal healing area. Many people come here, go through their healing path, and then move on. Be it emotional or physical. I’ve met so many people in trouble and stay for a month, 6 months or a year or two. Then suddenly vanish.

It is a healing place, as is this WordPress community kind lady. We share our journey and in doing so ‘include’ so many on our path of healing, finding that love within us. Thank you for the sharing you do Erika, a light on all our paths 🤗❤️🙏

Oh, wow, I can already feel the power and calm through your words. You described it so vividly. Thank you so much. I can imagine that people gather for so many different meanings. I am sure, so would I. I love places where you feel the energizing and healing power of our origins. When I was in California there was a spot I spent hours, just sitting there and absorbing the atmosphere… I always got answers – even on questions I had not asked yet.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience with us, Mark. We do indeed include so many while being on our on journey of healing 💖

Yes, one of those spots Erika. You just keep returning because it speaks to you in so many ways. Healing is a many varied thing kind lady, and in that, thank you for sharing your ‘spot’ 🤗❤️🙏
