Signs that you are healing • Every June, I go to grade state exams at different schools. I’m usually super nervous when it comes to new social situations, where I may not know anyone, where I may have to make conversation with new people, have lunch by myself or with new people, etc. It makes me feel extremely overwhelmed, nervous and anxious. But this time - I wasn’t. I realized as I was walking into the building and singing in at security that I just didn’t feel the same way this time. I’m not sure if this seems trivial to others but for me this was a big deal. I felt a sense of confidence in this new social situation that I normally have never felt. I felt safe even though I was somewhere I had never been and I didn’t know anyone else there. There was a confidence that I had in myself that just wasn’t there in the past. • I often lose sight of how far I’ve come but when I reflect in moments like this, I realize I in fact have grown so much, I have healed so much. My healing is evident in my day to day and I deserve to pat myself on the back for all the work I’m putting in. Everything you are doing in your healing journey has an impact and small changes have a big impact. Give yourself credit for the work you are doing! • Have you experienced something that shows signs of your healing?
