How to Heal from our Past Wounds – 3 Easy Steps

We are often triggered by our teens because we haven’t healed from our own past wounds. In this article, we will explore ways how to heal from our past wounds in 3 easy steps.

If you compare yourself to others, then STOP!

When we constantly compare ourselves to others, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to fully appreciate our unique strengths and talents. Comparison is indeed the thief of joy.

To conquer this, a crucial step is redirecting our attention from seeking external validation (material possessions & seeking approval from others) to finding fulfilment within ourselves (personal growth, self-compassion, pursuing passions, gratitude, expressing authenticity, helping others, setting & achieving goals).

Step 1: Identify the Source

Identify the source of what triggered you, take time at this step. Sometimes it will not come immediately but if you take the time it will surface. It could be personal insecurities, relationship issues or other anxieties. Understanding the root cause is crucial for finding a solution.

Step 2: Observe Situations that Trigger You

Self-awareness is key to managing these triggers. Consider journaling to delve deeper into your emotions and motivations. Visit www.sunsetsisterz.com for journaling templates, there is a basic template and a more detailed template – you can choose!!

Ask yourself a few questions!

What is triggering you? Where has this come from e.g. a previous experience, a previous incident etc.

How did you feel during those moments? (e.g., insecure, inadequate) What emotions has this situation triggered you?

Looking back, did you notice any common triggers in your teenage years, like with friends, school, or social status?

What thoughts went through your mind back then when you felt this way?

Did similar situations happen often in your teenage years, and what did you learn from them?

Were there things you were afraid of or felt unsure about during your teenage years that contributed to these triggers?

Looking back, what could you have done differently to handle these triggers better?

Sit with your feelings, observe them and don’t judge – journal the situation repeatedly and you will be able to release those wounds that are holding you back.

Step 3: Embrace Daily Affirmations and Gratitude.

Repeating positive statements about yourself and your life can reshape your mindset and how you view the situation. By appreciating your unique qualities and blessings, you can boost self-assurance and contentment.

I also recommend meditation for letting go, overthinking, stress relief, healing meditation for parents, releasing pain, suffering & trauma.

Let’s start by sharing three things we’re grateful for today, truly feeling the gratitude as we reflect on them. I’ll begin:

1. I am grateful for my health.

2. I am grateful for my home.

3. I am thankful for my family
