A lot of times this is what we look like when we hold a grudge. We are so angry we don't know what to do and 99.9% of the time the person we are angry at isn't even affected by our sorrow! So we sit by ourselves, whether physically or psychologically, and wallow in our own self pity. I know I am guilty of that!
I build up a wall every time someone hurts me and I dare anyone to come close. The problem with that is that my pain turns to anger which multiplies inside my self enclosed wall and I end up hurting myself more than the original offender did! We (myself included!) have to learn how to let go of the hurt so that we can heal! An open wound is easier to get infected than a healed one! So together let's make the conscious effort to take the steps to heal our wounded hearts. It's going to take lots of prayer and I've found that Norah Jones and Adele at the end of the day are perfect for the emotionally distraught :)
Here are some steps that I am working through to heal my wounded heart.
1. Identify the real reason we are hurt.
Sometimes things get so blown out of proportion that we don't even know why we were mad to begin with!
2. Consider why the 'hurt-er' acted the way they did?
Maybe they felt like they needed to defend themselves, or needed to make themselves look better than you. Take that as a compliment! They might have been threatened or jealous of you and decided to make themselves feel better by belittling you!
3. Consider the kind of life that person must lead for them to be able to produce such hurtful actions/words.
and be thankful that you aren't living it!
Above all else, don't let the hurt control your life! I know it's hard (I really do!) but you have to let it go so that you can rise above it! A balloon can't rise to the sky if it's attached to a brick! So let go of your brick and rise rise rise!!! I know you can do it, we can do it together!!!
Big bunches of balloons!
