Beyond Abuse: Breaking the Mind Loops
If you’ve been physically or verbally abused in the past, you may find it hard to stop thinking about the abuse, even if it happened decades ago.
When this happens, you’re trapped in a loop as the mind attempts to find blame, and sometimes it’s very difficult for the brain to accept reality as well. Your mind reviews the abuse over and over and over again, attempting to find resolution and hoping to wake up and find it was all a dream.
This is natural, and we do it to defend ourselves. If your past was painful enough that it still vibrates in your cells today, then you must learn to vibrate at a different frequency. This can sometimes take many years.
Because bad things happened to you in the past does not negate the reality that you can also experience beautiful things in the present, or the now. We must focus on as much beauty as possible, no matter how many times the shadows of our minds haunt us. It is because the shadows of the mind haunt us that we must practice savoring the frequencies of beauty, such as the smile of a child, the singing of a bird or the embrace of another.
For most, it is a long journey and there is no better time to begin that journey than now.
You understand the reality of pain as you curl up inside of yourself, but do not refuse to absorb as much beauty as possible. You MUST seek out other attributes of self. You must reach inside of yourself and harness your will, and allow yourself to see and accept that you are not weak.
The evidence is that you survive today; the evidence is that you are greater than your past.
