How many times have you heard or been told that time heals everything? ‘You have to give time to time’, ‘Everything is fixed with time’, ‘Time improves everything’… Although there are situations that we cannot solve immediately, neither can we leave everything to chance and postpone things because that opportunity may disappear. 
But how true are these claims? Then you can find out in this article where we will tell you if time can really alleviate all our ills.
Time is NOT a cure
- We start right away by debunking the myth that time heals everything, dear readers, time is not a remedy that you can take to ease your sorrows or a solution that will resolve all your conflicts. Although it is necessary to leave a moment to be able to overcome a duel (referring to the pain for having gone through a trauma or a difficult situation), you will not be able to achieve an improvement if you do not take action on the matter. Therefore, if you let the days, weeks or months accumulate, they can work against you instead of being an ally for your healing.
- The best thing in these cases is to face your problems, assume the consequences that are necessary and always look ahead, because time never stops or goes back, but rather goes forward. So if you want to make your time your helper, he follows his lead and keeps moving forward instead of getting stuck.
You have to control the time
How much do we have to let time pass and how much is it our responsibility to take action? It all depends on our emotions and the ability to resolve conflicts. Once you’ve been able to get it off your chest, it’s time to ask yourself ‘ what should I do now to continue? ‘ And, from there, create a simple plan of small objectives that you can achieve little by little, until you see that your situation has improved. Look at it as a development plan to be executed in the near future.
The importance of giving pain time
We have talked about leaving a moment to go through a duel, but why? Isn’t it better to act at once? Yes, and no. There are people whose response to pain is to take the necessary actions to resolve their situation and, once they find peace of mind, vent their emotions. While there are others who need to catharsis first of all the accumulation of tension and pain that they are experiencing in order to concentrate on generating the pertinent solutions for their situation. Has it happened to you? What position do you usually take?
How to turn time into your ally to overcome problems?
You can take some actions that will help you have ally time and make the most of it. This will help you not only move on, but also move past what you’ve been through and learn a valuable lesson from it.
Leave the past behind
The past is over, you can’t do anything to change it, but you can learn about what happened so that it doesn’t happen again or, if you go through a similar situation, know how to deal with it successfully. Keeping this in mind will help you focus on what you need to resolve and understand that suffering is a part of life.
Accept the pain
Bottled up emotions can be counterproductive because instead of helping you focus; it will only make you resent the situation more. The point is that you do not get carried away by negative emotions, but that you do not suppress them either. Cry and then get up.
Be compassionate
In moments like this it is very easy to be hard on ourselves since we tend to blame ourselves for everything and exaggerate things. So it is important to maintain a compassionate attitude and not judge ourselves.
Surround yourself with positive people
It is important to have the company of people who help us motivate ourselves and get ahead. Even if they are a little demanding with us, as long as it is for our good, remember that it is useless for them to stay in the background with you, but rather to encourage you to emerge.
