Healing Emotional Wounds: Learning to Forgive and Move On

-

Emotional wounds and pain are just as important as physical wounds, yet they are often ignored and left to fester. Whether it's betrayal in a relationship, the loss of a loved one, childhood trauma, bullying, or job loss, these experiences can be soul-crushing. But as difficult as they may be, they are a part of life, and it's essential to learn how to heal and move on.

Here are some things I've learned from my own experiences that may help you in your journey to healing:
  • Forgive the other person, even if it takes all your strength. Holding onto hurt and anger only harms yourself, not the other person.
  • Forgive yourself for any mistakes you may have made, understanding that you didn't know any better at the time.
  • Talk to a friend or family member, or even write in a diary to help process and release your emotions.
  • Make peace with your past, understanding that you can't change it but can choose to move on.
  • Learn to love and appreciate yourself, understanding your worth, and this will make it easier to forgive, understand others and make better meanings for anything that happens with you.
Remember, life is short, and it's essential to find ways to be happy within yourself and not let past experiences hold you back from living your best life.

The dose makes the poison!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni   This principle is the cornerstone of modern toxicology practice. The idea is that even harmful substances, such as poisons, are safe to consume in very small doses. For example, many heavy metal poisons such as Arsenic or Lead are ever present in our environment. Therefore, they are also present in many foods we consume in minute quantities. Toxicology experts have studied their effects on the body and that knowledge has been incorporated into the regulatory guidelines such as those provided by the FDA for foods that are marketed in interstate commerce.    But this principle is not only about poisons. Even harmless substances such as water can become poisonous if consumed in large quantities. Our diets have gone so far out of whack with our nature that most people end up suffering the consequences of overdosing on foods that become poisons.    Since I have been wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) for a while, I have noticed how the dose does make the poi

My Living Room - A perspective!!

Author - Ravi Kulkarni Let me tell you a story. In my little town, I was known for my charming but quirky home. One day, a small leak developed in the ceiling of my living room. At first, the leak was just a drip - a tiny nuisance. I placed a teacup under it, amused by the occasional plink of water. But as time passed, that drip became a constant stream. I turned my living room into a maze of bowls, cups, and pots to catch the water. It was a sight to see, and my friends found it amusing. The real trouble began when the water started damaging my furniture. My favorite chair, a relic passed down from my grandmother, was the first casualty. Its fabric bloomed with damp spots, and the legs weakened. But I was too caught up in my solution to see the problem. Instead of fixing the roof, I threw a party to unveil a new, expensive armchair I bought, thinking it could simply replace the old one. Unfortunately for me the new armchair didn’t last long either. In addition, several other issue
