Where Pain Lives, Healing Begins

We get sick for many reasons, both physical and psychological. The same goes for the types of diseases: there are ills of the body and ills of the soul. Mind and body are inseparable, as was already taught in Antiquity, that is, we must take care of everything that constitutes us, inside and out.

There’s no point in a perfect body inhabited by a dilapidated soul, and vice versa.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to pay attention to this need to balance what comes from outside and what is born inside, what the mirror reflects and what it doesn’t, what we do with our body and what we do with our soul. The whole world overvalues appearances, which makes it difficult to pay attention to what we feel, to what makes us feel good. We know very well what clothes we want to wear, but it’s complicated to know what speeds up our heart.

Perhaps no one can get rid of the unhappiness that takes over them if they remain still, without moving.

What makes us sick should be avoided, be it the cold wind or the cold treatment of others.

Being careless about health makes you sick, being careless about feelings too. Healthy practices include both physical activities and exercising self-love. Nourishing the body and soul, always.

No one can be happy staying in stories whose ending has no chance of being happy. No one heals without cutting off the cause of the evil, without depriving oneself of what hurts and contaminates their happiness, without avoiding being with someone who does nothing but suffer. No one smiles again in places where their happiness was lost, stolen, humiliated, denied.

Understanding that pain and illness are alerts that ask us for calm, that call us to rethink, to breathe, to survive, ends up encouraging us to take the right actions, however painful, sad, or impossible they may seem. Nothing is impossible when there are still dreams to be achieved and life within us.

If we can’t get out of what makes us sick, then the dreams will die, the plans will die, we will die, even if we are alive. Even for many days. For years…
