Sometimes processing can be overrated.
Hear me out on this. It’s not that it’s not important to process events or circumstances, it’s just that sometimes the processing can get in the way of what you’re supposed to be learning.
Sometimes processing keeps us from healing or moving forward. It can keep us from becoming whole or complete because the actual act of processing can be overwhelming and unending.
Processing is important, but moving on from processing is just as important. It’s the next level of healing, the next step in coming to terms with our own humanity, and the next phase in moving on.
So take the time to process, but give yourself permission to heal and move on.
