Time heals, they say. Yes, I agree, but I want to say you cannot sit and wait for your healing to come to you. Sometimes you need to want it, and when you want it, then go after it. Life waits for no one. It does not matter what you are going through, your world may stand still, but life goes on. Dear Reader please do not be limited by what I am going to discuss, just take it as a guidance and find what may work for you:
Play soothing music
Worship music is very soothing to my soul, it reminds me of who God is in my life, it encourages intimacy with God which makes me fall in love with God all over again. Everybody has their choice in music and they know the kind of music that centers them:
Let God be the first to know about it
God is fair and just, he can only judge accurately, I know that its natural to have somebody to reason with when you are in any situation. I am sure some of you will agree with me that, you have told people about what you were going through and it did not turn out well. So, you do not want to repeat the same mistake. Allow God to be the one to direct you to people who are eligible (ordained by God) to assist.
Abstain from social media
Your spirit is already in turmoil and you do not want to cause more chaos. When you indulge in things like social media you tend to disconnect with yourself. Social media is too congested, and you are not in the good space to discern correctly. it’s better to refrain from using it as you do not know what you are going to meet up with. Protect yourself by all means.
Do not eat a lot
What I have observed in my life is that whatever happens in my physical body reflects in my spirit. Your spirit is already burdened by what you are going through and you do not want to add to the load you already have. I know this might not make sense to other people. But if you are my type then eat light meals for the sake of feeling lighter in your spirit.
Pray earnestly
One thing that can put you at ease as a person who believes in God is that He is real, God is not an idol. When you come to God, do not come with the mindset that says: I just want to test these waters. That mindset will not give you any results. Come naked and come clean with God, tell him exactly how you feel. For instance, “God I am broken, heal me “. Be rest assured that God honors your prayer.
As you pray, speak less and listen more
If you are disturbed in your spirit. You want healing more than anything so that you can move on with your life. What I am discussing here ties in nicely with what I have discussed above of praying earnestly. When you have told God what you wanted to tell him, then allow him to minister to your spirit. Its important that you get God’s perspective about your situation. Just allow God to be God over your life.
Be kind to yourself
In a situation like this its important that you put yourself first. There is no shame in choosing you. I think we need to acknowledge that sometimes we put ourselves in trouble. So, in a case like that it’s important that we forgive ourselves and give ourselves a second chance. I think I need to mention that not only do we forgive ourselves also forgive other people, as this is also done to heal us and not the other person.
Stay Blessed

Hi Majola, you are a woman of wisdom and grace. I am particularly fascinated by point 4 on not eating too much. I totally agree with you, eating less, especially on red meat gives you much freedom.
From experience, it makes you to be sharp in the spirit and overall mental state of health. This is one unusual way to handle issues, get healed, clearing of unforgiveness burdens and really enjoying life.
I invite you to check my blog, I will like to connect with such a gracious lady like you.
Cheers
