We all have ways of coping with stress and the day to day challenges life throws at us.
Stop and think for a minute what your re-set button is. It might be reading, writing, meeting up with friends or watching one of your favourite television shows. Whatever it is that helps you manage the stresses of life, it makes you feel better, even if only for a short time.
Experiencing Domestic Abuse takes its toll on a person in so many ways. Sometimes to the point where the victim is not sure how they can face the day ahead. The thought of putting on a brave face, smiling and saying you’re fine when you are most definitely not is unbelievably draining.
Victims and survivors can get to the point where they are physically ill from all the pressure they are under.
Well-being and self-love are terms we hear a lot about these days. I talk about this in my Blog, From Self-preservation to Self-love.
For many people who have experienced Domestic Abuse, they will not have looked after their own well-being for sometime. If ever.
It’s difficult to imagine being able to put your own needs as a priority. You’ve been conditioned for so long to put the abuser’s needs before your own.
The problem is, it’s hard to switch off when you have so many worries and concerns going around in your head.
There’s no hard and fast answer to it, but try when you can to stop and do something you love.
My re-set button is being by the sea, just watching, listening and taking it all in. Letting my mind just wander, even just for a little while.
“Happiness is a state of mind. It’s just according to the way you look at things.” – Walt Disney.
