What is self-healing and how do you achieve it?

Introduction

Are you seeking tools to prevent disease, lose weight, and have more energy? One of the truths about healing is self-healing. Self-healing is a journey by you to harness your inner resources to achieve a physical, emotional, and/or psychological healing. 

Starting Your Self-Healing Journey

As you begin the self-healing journey, you recognize and address the root causes of your distress or illness. You take responsibility for your health and well-being. Start with empathetic inner dialogue with yourself.  Empathy is the cornerstone of self-healing. You become an empathetic listener of your thoughts and feelings. You reframe negative thoughts and feelings. You recognize and accept your emotions without self-criticism and that fosters compassionate self-awareness and that is the foundation of genuine healing. 

Having Empathy for Yourself

Working toward self-empathy can begin with a practice such as mindfulness meditation because it fosters a non-judgmental awareness that enhances empathy and self-compassion. The journey of self-healing with empathy can be achieved through various practical steps:

  1. Mindfulness and meditation practices assist you in staying in the present and attune to your emotions and physical sensation and enhances empathy and self-compassion.

  2. Reframing negative thought fosters a more empathetic inner dialogue. Replacing negative thoughts with compassionate ones is a key to emotional healing.

  3. Writing about your thoughts and feelings allows you to process your experiences and gain emotional insights. 

  4. Engaging in regular exercise, maintaining a balanced diet, and ensuring adequate sleep are the first steps in self-healing.

  5. Self-healing is a personal journey but seeking support enhances the process.
