At night, anger and anxiety from the past come to light.
That's painful, isn't it?
However, maybe night is not a time for torturing cat hands, but rather a time for the mind to recover.
During the daytime, they are nervous and do their best with housework, childcare, temple help, and relationships with people. I can't afford to think about the wound during that time.
So at night when it became quiet,
“I was really scared”
“I was really sad”
“It was really painful”
I think you can hear the voice of your heart saying that.
Just as an itch occurs when a wound heals, the heart may also feel pain in the middle of recovery.
So you don't have to blame yourself for getting angry and anxious at night.
Rather, that pain may be your heart telling you, “This place is still hurting.”
However, there is one important thing in order to heal that wound.
It's “to tell your heart little by little that the danger is gone.”
Maybe my heart still has tension from when I was being bullied or when I was living with my mother-in-law.
But now it's not what it was back then.
I have a husband, a daughter, and my mother-in-law lives separately.
The reality is changing little by little.
So when anxiety or anger comes out at night, you don't have to force yourself to try to drive them away.
First, please acknowledge that “my heart is still hurt.”
I've been hurt by bullying and my relationship with my mother-in-law for a long time, so it's no wonder that the pain remains.
Then, try talking to that wound like this.
“Those days were certainly painful, weren't they?”
“It was really scary, wasn't it?”
“You've worked hard, haven't you?”
On top of that, he said, “But the scenery changed slightly from those days.”
Please tell them.
I met her husband, a precious daughter was born, and there were people to support her.
Of course, that doesn't mean the wound is gone.
However, there are a lot of things that I didn't have back then.
So at night, I said, “This happened today.”
“My daughter smiled at me like this”
“I was able to work a little harder today”
Try having a conversation with your heart like that.
Instead of trying to erase my wounds, I am living in the present with my hurt self.
I think that accumulation will gradually lead the mind to peace of mind.
