TODAY'S LEARNING
Healing Trauma

Trauma can be held in the body, leading to physical symptoms years later — such as headaches, jumpiness, chronic pain, and dissociation.

It's possible for your rational mind to feel "over it" before your body does after an intense event.

What Is Trauma?

Traumas differ greatly on the outside. Over time, a person can experience childhood trauma from a significant history of intense sexual trauma, abuse, and neglect. Alternatively, someone else can be traumatized by a past car accident. Some people can have experienced trauma from an unhealthy relationship or a bad exam result.

Trauma is made up of three components, regardless of what caused it: the incident itself, the experience surrounding it, and the aftermath.

Trauma can lead to various mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, and addiction, making daily life difficult. It might be difficult for people to eat well, get enough sleep, and enjoy their relationships. By addressing how you responded to your event, you can release the hold that trauma can have on your life and gain a fresh outlook on it.

1. Acknowledge the Event

After a tragic event, people sometimes find it hard to accept what happened. They go into a denial mode and pretend that nothing important has happened to them.

The individual cannot start the healing process if they do not recognize how serious the situation is. Retrace the traumatizing steps and reflect on the circumstances, taking time as needed. It will be painful, of course, but healing cannot occur in the absence of pain.

2. Accept Support

Refusing assistance could be a big mistake for those recovering from trauma. An individual's success in the beginning does not guarantee that they will continue to perform well in the end. If you have the energy, communicate with your loved ones about the unhelpful things they can say about your PTSD. Informing them of their ability to assist is equally crucial.

Asking for additional help and support is always a great idea. This support can come in the form of:

• Friends

• Family

• Your partner

• Coworkers

• Mental health professionals

• Religious professionals

• Support group members

• Online support groups

3. Practice Self-Care

Tolerating support from others and being able to support oneself are critical qualities in a person. Effective self-care techniques can assist someone in setting priorities for their needs and concentrating on their trauma healing.

Self-care will appear different for different people, but it will all center around the theme of the person looking after their needs and wants. When self-care is used in moderation, it can help recover by balancing the pain caused by trauma.

Practicing emotional self-care can include:

• Taking a long bath

• Listening to music

• Watching a loved movie

• Getting a massage

• Eating a nice meal

4. Focus On Your Physical Health

When your mental health is under assault from trauma, a person needs to devote energy and resources to their psychological well-being. Still, they cannot neglect their physical health. One's mental state can be greatly influenced by one's physical state.

A person can concentrate on their food, level of physical exercise, and sleep routine in the following ways to improve physical health:

Eating healthy food will give someone the energy to find the motivation to accomplish goals.

Exercise offers many mental health benefits, including improved mood and lower anxiety.

A good night's sleep can help someone mentally clear their head and refuel for the next day.

5. Practice Mindfulness or Meditation

The stress and anxiety of trauma can be well-treated with various types of meditation and mindfulness. Both of these exercises can be difficult and uncomfortable at first, but if one can maintain a schedule, they can achieve new levels of relaxation.

Users of meditations may be encouraged to empty their minds or to fill them with positive or uplifting ideas. Some will merely work on calming racing thoughts, while others may include particular body motions.

A person could even experiment with meditation apps. Perhaps one of these options can provide a much-needed source of calm, peace, and comfort.

6. Get Back Into Your Routine

Undoubtedly, trauma can leave a monumental impact on every aspect of life. Thoughts, actions, and feelings will all be changed. Some might feel far removed from any previous schedule or routine if they change too much.

Think back to pre-trauma life and reflect on the typical routine and how the schedules worked. Going back to one's old routines might help one feel secure and rooted. While there's always space for improvement, getting back to the routine of your normal activities might help keep the healing process going.

These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2023

If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.

Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.

Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!

ZEN STORY
Voice Of Happiness

After Bankei had passed away, a blind man who lived near the master’s temple told a friend: “Since I am blind, I cannot watch a person’s face, so I must judge his character by the sound of his voice. Ordinarily when I hear someone congratulate another upon his happiness or success, I also hear a secret tone of envy. When condolence is expressed for the misfortune of another, I hear pleasure and satisfaction, as if the one condoling was really glad there was something left to gain in his own world.

“In all my experience, however, Bankei’s voice was always sincere. Whenever he expressed happiness, I heard nothing but happiness, and whenever he expressed sorrow, sorrow was all I heard.”

What is Side Crow Pose?

Side crow pose, or parsva bakasana in Sanskrit, is an arm balance and variation on crow pose. Here, the practitioner's body is nearly parallel to the ground, knees stacked and feet hovering above the ground. The pose builds strength and confidence.

• Exhale and twist to the left. Place the palms on the floor to the left side of the body, about shoulder distance wide.

• Raise the buttocks, rest the left buttock on the back of the left arm, and bend the arms deeply.
