"Picking at the Scab"

Sometimes the "Healing Process" needs to run its course in its entirety without us "Picking at the Scab," interfering with the natural process.

Who hasn't picked at a scab before though? You ever attempt to peel the scab off and you wind up bringing some skin along with it only to start the bleeding again? I know I have.

The "healing" is a part of the "process" hence the importance of these two joined words to create the "Healing Process." Yet when we choose to "Pick at the Scab," we have so chosen to interfere with the natural "Healing Process" whose "soul" purpose is to bring about a necessary healing from something that was lacerating, deep, painful, scarring and too often, permanent.

The "Healing Process" knows WHAT it needs to do and also knows exactly WHEN it needs to be done. We are not adding value to a process that is already perfect. "Picking at the Scab" only delays the "Healing Process," making matters much worse than what it would have been had we only let the "Healing Process" run its course in its entirety without our needless intervention.

This holds true to failed relationships of the professional AND personal type up to and including marriages. There is nothing tricky about the "Healing Process," it just needs the flexibility to "do what it does."

Before you know it, the scab, representative of the pain incurred, starts to wither away into oblivion and oft times before we even realize it, the scab is already gone. The "Healing Process" has successfully run its course, providing a new layer of external protection so that we can now move on to the internal "Healing Process."

Sometimes, both the external and internal heal simultaneously, or so we think. I firmly believe that the internal learns from the external, in order to double up on those new layers of internal protection to minimize the hurt that we experience on the inside. But if we "pick at that scab," interfering with the natural "Healing Process" the pain experienced will be even greater than previously known because our interference successfully delayed the creation of the additional layers of protection.

Whether it is the scab or either the internal or external "Healing Process," the common denominator is representative of a form of protection through additional layers.

Even if it is a failed relationship of the professional OR personal type up to and including a marriage, allow the "Healing Process" to run its course in its entirety, without running any interference. Those newly formed extra layers of protection are going to come in handy. Therefore, resisting the temptation of "Picking at the Scab" will indeed facilitate that scab inevitably withering away into oblivion, perhaps even taking any signs of permanence with it.

And with that being the ultimate goal, it is time to stop "Picking at the Scab!"
