Lesson 77: To Recognize That You Are Not Alone...

Today is all about recognising that you are not alone in your pain. Walk around, choose a spot where there are other people around and watch their distractions. Pain is experienced by everyone. To recognise that as a collective we all share or feel pain.

I personally see people putting on brave faces for the sake of others. I know I have done it and I see it now. Whether it’s just a coping mechanism or we generally do not want to tell people our problems, we hide behind those masks. Maybe we should talk about it more, so then we see or experience for ourselves, we are better equipped with dealing with it. We should be able to talk freely without judgement but that isn’t always the case for a lot of people. I know that I am definitely not alone in pain but I’ve never really sat and observed others in this way. It is amazing what having a bit more awareness can do for you. I always tell myself not to take on other people’s problems though – just listen, try and be there for that person and give advice if you have anything helpful and constructive.

We are all one in pain though we also all have the ability to move through that pain.
