Positive Affirmation: Mental Pain
“I am free of mental pain because I have learned to manage my negative emotions and redirect my attention on the positive things in life. Whenever I feel sad, I allow the pain to surface without any hesitation, as I know that if I try to fight back, the pain usually persists even longer. I give my pain room to breath but I do not identify with it because my pain is not really mine; it just comes and goes like the foreign clouds in the sky. Just as I cannot feel the clouds in the sky but just observe them, the same applies to my emotional pain; I can’t physically touch it but just observe it from the sidelines. Just as I can’t make a storm go away, the same applies with my emotional pain; I let it take its course until it evaporates into the distance. I am free of pain because I have learned how to respect my mental health and take care of it on a daily basis!”

👏🏼👏🏼 at a church retreat a bit ago, one of the women would ask me “who’s anxiety” every time I would say “my anxiety” and she would remind me it belongs to the Lord. She told me to never “claim it” and that has stuck with me🙏🏼

Never heard such a story before but I like it! Sometimes the Lord wants us to struggle with various tasks so we can have our character chiseled and molded into something greater. But yes, the Lord can do anything.

This is very well put. Allowing pain to simply be. If you resist you only give it strength. Thanks for spreading your wisdom 🙏
