In the beginning...
|
I was nineteen when I received my official diagnosis, but of course by then I had already been suffering in silence for years.
Anorexia. Bulimia. Major Depression. Generalized Anxiety. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Suicidal ideation. And self harm (which means there are scars on my body that I put there). In other words: broken. Every doctor I saw, every specialist I consulted all agreed: I. Was. Broken. And they were right because when you’re told over and over again by very smart people with lots of letters after their name that you are broken well…. Eventually you begin to believe them. But I am here to tell you: they are wrong. I hear so many people say that they are broken; that their problems are insurmountable. That they cannot be fixed. And it hurts when I hear this, not just because it is awful to see a beautiful soul in pain but because I have been there. And here’s what I learned: No one is ever broken. xo Jennifer Febel Wellness Coach, Master Hypnotherapist, Transformational Speaker and Intl Best Selling Author |

"We have this false belief in society that mental health issues cannot be cured; that you are either born mentally strong or you are doomed to always need to ‘manage’ your pain.
It’s a very disheartening thing. To have the desire to be well and constantly be told it is not possible. It can be devastating because it removes the most important element in recovery: hope."
JENNIFER FEBEL, COACH
Live Life Unbroken.
It's three little words but they have had such a big impact in my life.
In Japan, there exists a beautiful art form known as Kintsukuroi (keen-tsoo-koo-roy), which means literally “to repair with gold”. It is the art of repairing pottery with molten gold or silver, in essence highlighting the scars of the break. Rather than attempt to hide the injury or pretend it never happened, the Japanese understand that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken and healed.
You see, life is a process of change and re-birth. The old systems and ways break down to make way for new learnings and realizations. It is beautiful and painful and poetic. It is simultaneously wonderful and horrible.
Change is inevitable and yet we hold on to the old ways so hard that it is not the change itself that hurts, only our reluctance to embrace a new way. I never really understood the idea of surrendering but after drowning in my pain for over a decade it became very clear. Learning to surrender is about learning to let go even when every fibre in your being wants to cling tight. Because letting go is harder but it will hurt less when you surrender.
No one is ever broken because we were never whole to begin with. We are in a constant state of change, of breaking down and building back up. Each time learning more. Each time getting stronger.
A broken bone is known to heal stronger than before the injury. A broken limb will never lose the scar of its journey but it is stronger for having healed and can never break the same way again. It is unbroken.
And just as our bones break and heal stronger, so too do we.
And so the goal is not to be whole for that is just an illusion. Aim instead to be stronger. Wiser. Unbroken.
