Allow yourself to feel the pain: It's okay to take time to heal after rejection or difficult experiences, everyone's healing process is unique, and there's no rush to move forward.
It's okay to experience pain and take time to heal after rejection or difficult experiences. It's important to acknowledge the hurt and give ourselves grace to feel the emotions, rather than suppressing them or trying to bulldoze through. Taking a moment to rest and recharge can help us gather the strength to move forward. Unexpected events, such as receiving a message from an ex after a long silence, can be particularly challenging, but it's important to remember that healing is a process and that we deserve to take the time we need to recover. It's also important to remember that everyone's healing process is unique, and there's no right or wrong way to move forward. So, take the time you need, let yourself feel the pain, and then take small steps forward when you're ready. And remember, the "rumbles" (or we) love a rest.
