I Have Felt This Way Before…
When old feelings come back around
Have you ever had a surge of old emotions come back from something that you thought you had left behind? I sure have and this happened to me recently and it has also happened to me in the past. This can be confusing and painful, yet I believe there is a reason this is happening.
Healing is Never Linear
Letting go is hard. This is something I have struggled with in my life, mainly because I’m a highly sensitive person who feels very deeply. Consequently, there are not many people who really get to me or who I feel connected to in a meaningful way. Because this is such a rare occurrence, it’s even harder to let these people go.
Healing is a process and even though it gets easier with time, it has its peaks and troughs. If feelings are coming back up again after a long time of being dormant, accept this and see it as a part of the process. Don’t blame or berate yourself for this. Allow it to pass through.
The Final Surge
In some cases, a wave of old feelings can come back around just as you’re about to step into a new chapter of your life. This is often because you need to create more space for the new to come in. It can feel confusing that old feelings can come up again out of nowhere with an intensity you thought you were no longer capable of. Frustrating even! Take heart. This is a sign of the final surge. Of course, this doesn’t relate to everything, but it is something I have experienced for myself.
On some level we know our journey. Intuitively we know what comes next. Therefore, when new things come close to coming into our reality, a clean up process takes place. That’s when old feelings can make a comeback with an intensity that makes you feel like you are back where you were years ago emotionally. Yet this is not the case. Don’t be deceived! It’s merely a flashback, a final rinse and a chance for you to accept the truth of a situation once and for all. There’s no need to keep hanging on any longer.
You’re Right On Time
If you’re experiencing a comeback of emotions regarding a situation from your past that you don’t understand, know this: it’s normal, it’s ok and you’re on the right track. Accept this and use this as an opportunity to feel what you’re feeling and release the old with love and gratitude for everything it taught you. It’s time to get excited for what lies ahead of you in this next chapter of your life. Perhaps everything has unfolded perfectly in the time that it was supposed to and now you’re ready for more.
