All emotions are created in the brain and then transmitted to your cells and organs via your neural system. So to deal with emotional pain that manifests in various parts of your body; your heart, stomach or other places you must first address it in your mind as this is where it begins and continues to impact you until you redirect your thoughts and therefore your actions and better manage this pain. There are a number of things to consider; 1) There are some things in life you can control and some you can’t - the trick is to know and accept the difference and then control the things you can and let go of the things you can’t. 2) There are many ways to interpret events and people. No two people will see an event, person or situation the same. The key is to be willing to accept that there are other ways you can interpret what is happening and why. 3) Don’t let old baggage or history rule your present moments. 4) Regrets weigh tons and there is nothing you can do to change past events or circumstances but you can learn from them and then act accordingly. 5) Feel the pain, admit the pain, experience the pain, get in touch with the pain and then let it go. 6) Life is short – you can live it filled with remorse, grief, guilt or you can admit mistakes, accept circumstances and move on. 7) Create some mental anchors/distractions to keep you focused on other circumstances. 8) Count your blessings - no matter what you are losing or have lost you still have more left. 9) Never let go of faith, hope and the will to live life to the fullest no matter what. 10) Get busy. Start a new activity, make some new friends, get involved with a new group, take a trip, pray more, meditate, volunteer, start to journal, start a new hobby, read inspiring books – something. 11) Use the pain to release your creative nature. 12) Use your pain to discover what your true inner self. In the end emotional pain can be the only way to finally get in touch with who you are, what you want, what’s important and who you want to become and how you want to live your life. Let it teach you. “I love the man that can smile in trouble that can gather strength from distress and grow brave by reflection.”
