Acknowledge your past and work towards acceptance so you may move forward.
The fifth artwork I would like to share with you from my exhibition Healing from within is ‘ACKNOWLEDGE’ a watercolour painting on paper with the accompanying message:
Acknowledge your past and work towards acceptance so you may move forward.
This artwork recognises the impact our past experiences can have on our present and future. The importance of acknowledging and addressing any past experiences that are adversely affecting us. That may be skewing our view on ourselves, others, moments or situations.
Acknowledge the past/all that has happened to heal and grow. Acknowledge both dark and light as contributing to your growth. Recognise that which is preventing you from moving forward. Are you experiencing recurring patterns come about to help you address what needs to be seen too?
Take note of anything that is holding you back. What do you need to face/deal with in order to move forward, move to the next phase? Recognise it is within you to do so, you do not need to rely on any external sources.
Acknowledging and accepting my past experiences was a big part of my healing journey (and still is!). I have learnt the importance of working towards acceptance and letting go, to allow for healing and growth. Many times it has been difficult to do so, some areas were about an acceptance of my own guilt, others about forgiveness of those that I felt had wronged me. I have recognised the importance of forgiveness and acceptance, the fact that by holding onto negative emotions I was hurting myself. By letting go of these holdings I was giving myself the gift of lightness and ability to move forward.
Shine a light on your past to make way for your future.
