Brian Bajah, Psy.D. |
The body grows sequentially from young to old; aging is predetermined, but the information a person acquires while aging is not predetermined. We owe it to ourselves to work on ourselves as we strive to grasp every piece of information that is instrumental to our growth.
We are born with a clean slate; even though our parents do a lot of imprinting, what we continue to feed our minds with goes a long way in shaping who we become. A lot of us have blind spots when it comes to self-reflection. How often have we looked at ourselves inwardly and accepted that a part of us needs change? This is harder for some of us than it is for others. Deciding to better oneself is an excellent step toward self-actualization; not everyone has taken this step. I have sought therapy myself and appreciate the healing that comes from it. The healthiest path to recovery is processing your feelings; no matter how severe your injuries are, processing them prevents long-term emotional effects. The unhealthy path would be to repress those feelings. You can never underestimate the importance of self-care.
