Have you ever found yourself awake at night, reliving a conversation in which you said or did something weird?
A big chunk of adult life is feeling unconsciously stuck in the past, consumed by difficult experiences that we haven’t processed properly. Unfortunately, a bout of insomnia isn’t the time to work it out.
The thing with shame is that it has to be resolved. If you repress it or bury it, it will come back to haunt you in the middle of the night. Simply recognizing shame, and reprocessing it in the spirit of forgiveness, may hold the key to shaking it off once and for all.
Everyone messes up and kicks themselves for it! But if you can step in and alter that emotion, you’ll be one step closer to freedom and peace—and a better night’s sleep. Find out how with our Instaread on Happy Days.
