Learn ways to search for the brighter side of healing
There is no need to be down or view life in a pessimistic mind-frame because areas of your life require work in order for you to fully heal. Instead, shift your perspective to one of gratitude. Be grateful to GOD that things did not go according to your plans. Because what HE has planned for your life is far greater than what you can think or imagine. In this article, we will discuss how to embrace the road blocks, turning points, and change in direction of your healing journey. You will learn how to view the journey with appreciation of the milestones of your accomplishments along the way.
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding." Psalm 30:5 KJV
On the Brighter Side
Trouble does not last always. The key is to keep going and not to stop when life gets painful. Sometimes, life gets really tough. Plans don’t work out and people can be just mean. But on the brighter side, everything is working together for your good. You are improving and becoming a better person. Shifting your mind frame, coping skills, and behavior modification is not a comfortable process. Refrain from resisting the process of your change. Oftentimes, the most pain comes when you are resisting the change required for your healing. You will be able to embrace the brighter side of your healing when you understand change is an essential part of the process.
“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalm 30:5 KJV
Ways to Happiness

count your blessings
Focus on what you have daily. Give thanks to the Most High GOD for all HE has done and is doing in your life.
Be Present in the Moment
Refrain from focusing on the past. Ground yourself in the confidence that your past does not define you. You can have confidence in the fact that you have the ability and power to change the entire course of your life. Change starts with your decision to be happy. At first, it may be uncomfortable and challenging, because you will need to make some tough decisions. You will need to make daily decisions for healthier foods, coping skills, communication styles, and thoughts. The most intense change will occur with your thoughts. You cannot dwell on the past and expect the future to be different. Focus on the joy of the LORD by spending time in HIS presence daily. This includes being in prayer, praise, worship, reading, speaking, and meditating on the scripture of the Holy Bible.
