Healing Stages for Growth
Healing is a process. It starts with a seed. Growth is possible no matter how messy life may get. The seeds for healing need time to grow and develop. But this only occurs when you make the decision to change your conditions. Conditions may include your mind frame, work environment, relationships, physical space or even moving to a different location. Optimal conditions are ideal for you to mature and soon you will start to produce new healthy fruit in your life.
“Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.” Deuteronomy 28:4 KJV
The seeds of healing need to be watered. You can boost new growth and development by watering your pursuit of healing with optimal conditions. These conditions include positive relationships, life coach, mentor, pastors, fellowship with believers in CHRIST, membership at a bible-teaching local church, healthy lifestyle, exercise, nutrient rich diet, and peaceful home. You can grow during different stages and seasons in life. The following are the healing stages for growth.
Healing Stages for Growth
anger
You will experience intense feelings of annoyance, displeasure, and hostility when you evaluate the level of trauma you have experienced. Be anger and sin not. Do not seek revenge or retaliation. Your focus is to heal and be free from the past anger.
Grief
You will feel deep sorrow as you mourn your expectations of relationships, and personal or professional goals that were destroyed due to your trauma. The grief can be for possibilities that are still available but no longer accessible to you, due to your decision to heal.
acceptance
As you heal, you will begin to accept the facts of the matter. This realization of the true occurrence of life experiences may be absent of any emotion or may include a combination of emotions. Accepting what has happened to you is crucial to your healing for you to be able to face head-on the source of your unhealed trauma.
forgiveness
This is when you stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offense. Even if the person is the cause of intense hurt and pain, you come to the realization that holding on to the painful memories is keeping you in bondage. You release the person or persons of their obligation to repay you, even when you deserve an apology. You let go.
repentance
You are sincerely regretful and remorseful for your actions or harm towards others as a response of your trauma. You realize that even though you may have been justified or protected yourself, you have caused harm to others who deserve an apology from you. You repent to GOD, apologize to those you have harmed, and ask for their forgiveness. This stage is the most intense because it requires a true change in your heart and mind frame.
rebalance
Forgiveness does not automatically mean trust. When healing it is imperative for you to restore the correct balance to the relationship with yourself, GOD, and others. This requires establishing and maintaining boundaries.
regrowth
This final stage of healing is where you will grow, produce, develop, and acquire the desires if your healed version. You will have the mental, spiritual, and emotional capacity to obtain health and new opportunities. Your life will begin to flourish as your life reflects the redemptive glory of GOD.
Your Growth will change everything
You making the decision to heal will change your entire life. Every relationship in your life will shift to adjust to the positive step toward changes you make. You will impact and influence those around you to also pursue their healing. Although the journey is individual, you will learn the power of community and the importance of your decisions to impact your environment.
