The Power of a Hug!!!



Have you hugged someone today? I can remember when I was living in another city and working at one of my very first jobs. Employees at this place would start the day off by embracing each other before they began carrying out their daily duties. I thought it was rather strange and at times simply crazy. When I look back at where I used to work; I think to myself it wasn't such a bad place. People at that place were a lot happier and productive. 

Even now in my life I take notice when I am given a hug and how it makes me feel loved and appreciated. Sometimes I go weeks without receiving a hug or being embraced and I notice that I may feel down and in the dumps. But it is something about being hugged that makes me feel that I am loved and that I matter. Wow, the power of a hug goes a long way. Think about it: Have you had a hug today?

A Time of Healing from Spiritual Abuse (part two)

A month ago I gave several steps in an article that I wrote called “A Time of Healing” that victims of abuse can take in order to begin the process of healing from being abused. For those of you who are coming out of an abusive situation, I want to continue sharing thoughts and steps of how to continue the healing process. Abusers guilt: Stop carrying the abuse guilt around. Let the guilt go. Many times people who have abused individuals will make their victims feel as though they should feel guilty for leaving them. Some abusers may try to use tactics such as saying that they are going to kill themselves if you leave them. They may go as far as attempting suicide to get the victim to return to them. Don’t fall for this tactic! It’s only a ploy to get the victim to come back to them.  Prison of not forgiving: One of the biggest steps to healing from past abuse is learning how to forgive the abuser. This is also the hardest step for some survivors to do and often can...

Power

Where are you getting your power from? Have you ever been around someone or a group of people for a period of time and when you went home you were completely exhausted and did not know why.  I recently had a family function and you can imagine how draining family can be sometimes. Just the idea of going to this function made me tired. To my surprise, after attending the event, I was surprised that I felt great. I was not tired or drained at all. I asked myself what was different about this family function for me not to be so drained and exhausted…nothing. Everyone was still themselves. They had not changed at all.  I realized that the night before my best friend challenged my thinking. She told me that if I go to the function thinking that it would not go well then it will not go well. I had spent days rehearsing how bad the family function would be and didn't even realize it. I played the negative thoughts in my head over and over again. By doing that, I bec...
