Sometimes they dismiss your feelings and tell you to get over it
because of their inability to help the situation.
Most people do not know how to helpThose magical words
that solve all of the problems are often only seen in the movies.
The leading actor tells the person just what they need to hear
to fix the problem and then they ride off into the sunset.
Well real life is not so simple and recovery not so swift. Many
people don’t even know how to heal themselves let alone
someone else.
Not ministering to you and your needs isn’t always a deliberate
act of emotional abandonment but more so they may not be
capable or equipped to help you, so they are doing the best
they can.
You have to learn how to minister to yourself. What does that
look like? Celebrate yourself. Don’t expect or wait for someone
else to do it. Also, you will have to seek out the people and
activities that will uplift you in order to heal the wounds and
make you stronger. Sometimes hearing I love you is enough,
but then again, that may be just the beginning. Young people
seek love and direction. They know you love them that’s why
they come to you for support. They need to understand that it’s
ok to suffer loss and handle disappointment in a way that’s not
detrimental to their well-being.
Here are a few ways to tap into those hidden emotional jewels
that many athletes seldom pay attention to. Understanding the
fact that you are a spiritual being who has feelings and
emotions will help you to understand this.
