It is not easy to come back from home from service overseas and contend with physical disabilities or trauma. Any soldier will tell you that these issues make it difficult to reintegrate into your life.
The truth is that when you come back home, you are a changed person, and you are coming back to friends and family who may not understand the changes you have gone through. For some, this is the hardest part of coming home. It may be difficult for you to share these parts of yourself with others until you have fully recovered and understood what they mean for you overall. Allow yourself the gift of time even when there's pressure surrounding you to move forward immediately.
While healing, it is essential to consider all aspects of self-care and wellbeing. Establishing a new routine that has ties to your life in service will help you rebound quicker. One of the best ways you can do this is by exercising. If you can't exercise at the moment, revisit relaxation techniques and routines you may not have entirely been aware you were doing, such as taking time to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, a restful quick nap, or even writing down your thoughts.
A crystal grid in the bedroom may be suitable for allowing you peace of mind while you are sleeping. Often, returning soldiers will be haunted by dream messages to resolve unhealed trauma from sudden and unexpected events. Focusing on crystals that help you release and encourage healthy coping skills and rest during this time can be very beneficial as you come to a more centered lifestyle. Clear quartz, carnelian, pink calcite, and lapis lazuli are best for wounded soldiers.
Please go through all the suggested affirmations and see which ones apply to you and your situation. You can feel free to alter, exchange, or remove ones that do not work for you. However, this list has been channeled for anyone who is a wounded soldier.
