Imagine working and doing everything you do on a normal day with physical pain, for example: a continuous headache. It’s going to be difficult for you, right? Now imagine doing everything when you constantly overthink, it hurts you to think, feel, live, you feel that the problems you are experiencing are consuming you, you live with a constant emptiness where nothing seems to be enough and only stress lives in you, anxiety, depression, etc. It’s going to cost you right?
The reality is that as human beings we often focus on maintaining the external instead of the internal, we focus and worry more about how we look? And how do others see us? instead of how do I feel? When it comes to buying clothes, things, getting ready; We do not usually set a price, because we consider it of utmost importance, in fact it is a basic need; but what about the interior?
Taking care of ourselves
Learning to take care of ourselves is learning that we are a whole, that is, we are our mind (thoughts), emotions, actions (what we do), physical body (our image, appearance), energetic body (how we vibrate), our environment ( what we have and who we relate to).
It is not enough to just look good, it is necessary to learn to feel good, material things do not buy your peace of mind, but on the contrary, Your peace of mind will help you fully enjoy your material things, allowing you to live in constant growth and expansion.
Just as we take care of renewing our clothes, we cut our hair regularly, etc., we must maintain our interior, giving ourselves the opportunity to go to a professional to PREVENT future emotional and mental difficulties, since throughout our lives We are going to have different problems. Nobody is born or comes with a manual, which is why it is important to learn to know ourselves and commit to our development.
Why do we go to therapy?
There are no precise symptoms or signs that dictate when you should have a psychotherapeutic process. You attend a psychotherapeutic process when you want to start taking care of yourself, to connect with who you are, to give yourself a space to externalize your fears, your doubts, your difficulties, when you want to learn to heal and transform your life, because just as you study to Growing as a professional, going to therapy is giving yourself the time to grow as a person. But I’m going to be honest, generally we only hope to get to therapy when:
These are some circumstances for which people generally go to therapy, but with this article what I want is to create awareness in you, if you are experiencing something similar, do not hesitate and go; and if not, DON’T WAIT, don’t expect to be broken, to be sick to go, learn to take care of yourself and prevent, because it is currently estimated that mental and emotional difficulties will become one of the leading causes of disability worldwide.
Take the step
Don’t wait any longer, take care of yourself and take care of the rest, taking care of your mental and emotional health, learn to heal to transform your life, going to therapy is not an expense, in the end it is an investment focused on your well-being because external things come and go. They come, but your mind and emotions are and will be a constant in your life.
