Some people walk in nature, some meditate, some read a book to relax for a bit. Another way is to watch specific YouTube videos in order to calm down and gaining new insights at the same time. One of my favorite channels is ‘Reflections of Life’ and today’s Other Beautiful Post is a video of them, sharing the story of Edward Celnicker…
Reflections of Life - A Big Life
Description accompanying the video:
Shame, guilt, rage and resentment aren’t part of our natural emotional state. And so when these feelings linger from past hurts, we often use denial to hide the original issues. But just like our physical health, our emotional well-being needs attention. Since emotional wounds aren’t visible, we might think they’ll go away if we ignore them, but they only grow worse in the dark. These wounds need our care and awareness to heal; otherwise, they just fester.
Healing deep emotional wounds takes courage because it means trusting your own feelings. It involves naming and understanding these emotions honestly. By having the courage to face and deal with shame, guilt, and other baggage, you start the process of healing and open yourself up to a more fulfilling life, ultimately improving your relationships with yourself and others.
“Don’t hide your heart but reveal it, so that mine might be revealed, and I might accept what I am capable of. ” – Rumi

Acknowledgement
Acknowledgement is more important than you might think. It is not about approving, it’s about empowerment and showing appreciation. Virtual social platforms are perfect for that. In addition, for me, it is also about staying aware of the fact that we all human beings, striving to thrive, each in our unique way. Seeking understanding for each others differences, can only lead to a more peaceful world for us all.
