With the rare exception of only a few, most of us are walking around with several inner wounds. These wounds are sort of like the herpes virus (oral not genital. Where's your mind?). They can stay dormant for your entire life and you never have to deal with them. Or you carry it around for years not knowing it until you endure a stress or a hardship and suddenly you see it and you feel it. Throughout our childhood, even if we weren't abused mentally or physically, we endure emotional wounds. Some heal and some don't. For the ones that don't heal we can manage the effects well enough and come to enough of an understanding that it doesn't affect our everyday lives and not even know they're there. However, we might change careers, get a divorce, move across the country, begin a new relationship with someone and suddenly emotional pain surfaces and your left hurting and bewildered because you don't know what's going on. A change in routine, a new endeavor, taking on a new challenge are all things that can shine a light on our inner wounds. Often when this would happen to me I would get angry, as if I needed another negative emotion to add to the mix. I would get angry because I do a lot of inner work like yoga, NLP, and meditation. How can I still have wounds I would wonder. In a lot of ways though these practices can actually be managing the symptoms of your wounds rather than healing them. And sometimes they can heal them as well. If you're suffering inside, it's a wound. Know that you don't have to suffer and that there is something you can do about it. Childhood wounds often take the form of self-imposed limitations and limiting beliefs by the time we become adults. If you never test those limitations and you have no desire to overcome them, you may never uncover the inner wound that created it and it might not even be necessary or even beneficial to deal with it. You may be one of those types who likes to push your boundaries, get out of your comfort zone, and tap into new possibilities. It's likely you confront your wounds and deal with them especially if you continue to do this. This is what it means to live an extraordinary life. Extraordinary people suffer and are wounded just like everyone else. The difference is they don't let it stop them. They deal with it as it comes up and they keep moving forward. In the self-help and personal development field I've often encountered, and am guilty of being, that person who is on a witch hunt to discover all of their inner wounds so you can deal with them before moving one with your life. If you are one these people, stop it right now. Part of healing an inner wound is having the intent and the desire to move beyond it because it's in the way of getting what you want. Don't bother trying to discover your inner wounds. It's an endless abyss that will put you in suspension and keep you from living your life. Don't worry; if you're out there going after what you want and seeking your potential, your inner wounds will come up as limitations and obstacles keeping you from getting what you want. That's the time to deal with them. What do you do when you encounter an inner wound? That's what great practices like NLP can help you with. If the wound is really deep you'll probably need to seek outside help from a coach or a therapist.
