Stress Management Series

PART 1: AVOID — Protect Your Peace Early

As we begin this new series on stress management, I want to start with a simple truth:Most of us have struggled with stress and not knowing what to do or where to start but really there are some stressors you have had to endure that you could have avoided. Not all stress is unavoidable. Some of it can be prevented with intentional choices.

A lot of our daily pressure isn’t “deep” — it’s often the result of poor planning that keeps catching us off-guard.
Small adjustments like waking up 15 minutes earlier, preparing your items the night before, or setting clear reminders can drastically reduce unnecessary tension. Even choosing to complete tasks instead of pushing them closer to the deadline can make your day flow more smoothly.

Avoiding certain stressors doesn’t mean escaping responsibility.
It means creating an environment where you can function with clarity and calm.
Sometimes, peace is not accidental… it’s the result of preparation.

As you step into the week, ask yourself:
What is one stress trigger I can avoid today by planning ahead or simply just avoiding?
Your future self will thank you. 💛

*Part 2: How Rejection Follows Us into Adulthood*

The pain of rejection doesn’t always stay in the past — sometimes, it travels with us into adulthood.

You might notice it in how you relate to people today
💭 Always fearing someone will leave,
💭 Trying too hard to please,
💭 Or avoiding closeness because it feels safer not to get attached.

Sometimes we even reject ourselves before anyone else can — because deep down, we expect to be unwanted.

But healing begins when we recognize this pattern.
Awareness is the first step to freedom.

You don’t have to keep living under the shadow of old wounds. The same heart that was hurt can also *heal and love again.* 💚

🌿 *Reflection:* Where in my life do I still fear being rejected — and how does it show up in my choices?

Write it in your journal so you can keep track.

New series Alert! Dealing with Rejection

Part 1;Understanding Rejection;The wound we don't talk about

Rejection is more than just someone saying “no” to us — it’s the deep pain of feeling unwanted or unseen.

For some, it started early — a parent who never showed love, relatives who made you feel like an outsider, or friends who turned away when you needed them most. Those moments plant a quiet message in the heart: “Maybe I’m not enough.”

Over time, that wound can shape how we live — we overthink, try too hard to please, or build walls so we won’t be hurt again.

But here’s the truth:
*Rejection doesn’t mean you’re unworthy — it means someone failed to see your worth.*

You are not defined by who walked away, but by the beauty that still remains in you.

Reflection: When was the first time I felt unwanted — and how has that moment shaped me since then?

Please write your answer in your journal,it's such a powerful tool

FINAL PART OF CHILDHOOD ABANDONMENT

Part 4: There is Hope

The good news is — wounds can heal.
Abandonment may have shaped your story, but it doesn’t have to define your ending.
Every time you choose to love, to trust, to show up for yourself — you’re rewriting your past with new strength.

Remember this:

> You are not too much to love.
> You are not too broken to heal.
> You are worthy of someone staying — even if that someone starts with you

*Part 3: Healing the Inner Child*

Healing abandonment isn’t about blaming the past — it’s about understanding it.
It starts when we gently tell that little version of ourselves:

> “You were never unworthy of love.”
> “It wasn’t your fault.”
> “You deserved to be seen.”

Healing looks like:

* Setting healthy boundaries without guilt.
* Allowing yourself to receive love without fear.
* Learning to stay instead of run when connection feels scary.
* Reparenting yourself — giving the care you once needed

23/10/2025

Part 2: How Abandonment Follows Us into Adulthood

We grow up… but the inner child still waits to be seen and chosen.
That’s why many of us with abandonment wounds struggle with:

1)Trust issues — afraid people will leave once they get close.
2)Overattachment— clinging too hard to relationships out of fear of losing them.
3)People-pleasing— trying too hard to be “good enough” to stay loved.
4)Emotional shutdown — pushing others away before they can hurt us.

_It’s not that we’re broken — it’s that we’re protecting ourselves from the same pain we once felt_

But the good news is that there is healing available. Don't stay down when you can rise

*The Silent Wound: Childhood Abandonment*

Many of us grew up being told to *be strong*… to move on, to keep it together.
But some wounds never received the care they needed — especially the pain of *feeling unseen, forgotten, or unloved.*

Childhood abandonment isn’t always about being physically left behind.
Sometimes, it’s the emotional absence a parent who was there but never really present.
As children, we often fill that silence with painful beliefs like:

> “Maybe I’m not enough.”
> “Maybe love has to be earned.”

And those early messages quietly shape how we love, trust, and see ourselves as adults.

This week, we begin a conversation on *healing the unseen wounds*. Because acknowledging the pain is not weakness — it’s the first step toward wholeness. 💛

If you’ve ever felt unworthy, unseen, or afraid of being left — this space is for you.
You deserve understanding. You deserve peace. You deserve to heal.

*Changing thought patterns*

In dealing with our minds it's interesting how it has already taken a certain shape and direction. Our minds automatically gets negative thoughts but it doesn't automatically get positive thoughts 🤷🏻‍♀️interesting right?

So this means that it is your responsibility to feed your mind with positivity and am not talking of toxic positivity where you are ignorant of facts. Am talking of feeding your mind with what blesses you. phillipians 4:8 says whatever is true, honourable,just,pure, lovely, commendable,if there is any excellence,if there is anything worthy of praise,think about these things.so it means that we train our minds to see the good instead of the worst .

Exercise reframing your thoughts;From today whenever you are faced with a discouraging or disappointing situation instead of thinking about the worst think of the one thing that is good at that particular moment it doesn't have to be that situation it can be as simple as atleast i have my parents.

Example;I am faced with the issue of delayed rent payment and my landlord is on my case. Instead of me thinking first I am going to be kicked out ,I take my mind to,atleast I am healthy and I am not making a trip to the hospital or raising money for the hospital bill. I can overcome this too. Then after this thought I pray about the situation I am experiencing,I pray for favour with the landlord and I pray for provision from Above.

Have a blessed day and don't forget to give me a reaction or comment to know if this has helped you.

Today I have a mental health class and I will be training on Loss and grief and as I am preparing for it ,I am led to share this with you.

Many times when we are dealing with loss of someone or something we loved and cherished the first thing we do is ask God so many questions. Why them?why me?why now?

This is what I tell my patients,no answer will be good enough even if it's from God as to why that person had to die or as to why you had to lose that job.

Most times when we are looking for these answers really what we are looking for is healing. Most times ,Our thoughts will always stem from what we feel first. We feel and then we think. So the thoughts you are having right now are steming from what you are feeling in your heart then that leads us to the root,and we focus on what do you feel. This is exactly what we take to God,our emotions not our thoughts .instead of asking God the questions,try taking that emotion to God even if you will just cry in his presence then get up and go. He says in Psalms that he is close to the broken hearted . In this time of grief I want you to know that God is so close to you than ever and his aim is to walk with you through this heavy grief and to heal you and to help you stand again.

Give yourself time to heal too ,don't rush the process,don't compare your grief to that of another person even if they are a blood relative,grief will always be unique to you. Get someone to walk with you a friend,a relative,a therapist. That support system goes a long way .

I pray for your healing

*Understanding what is a mental illness*

A mental illness is a health condition that alters how you think,feel or behave .

Now what makes you know that what you are experiencing you need professional help is;
1 .The changes you are experiencing are causing *distress* to you. Meaning you are disturbed by the changes you are experiencing
*2.Impairement;* This means that you are not able to function the way you were functioning before eg being able to go or work or completing a task,or having so many errors.
*3.Deviant behaviours* ;These are negative behaviours you may start to exhibit because of the changes you are experiencing eg excessive use of alcohol,drug use , reckless driving or even reckless s*x.
