I suppose you've seen jewelry box? Wooden, silver, ivory jewelry box. All sorts of jewelry boxes. Our body is like that jewelry box and our soul is the jewelry in it.
Now both of them are precious, jewelry being more precious and longer lasting.
Now you know that your body keeps your soul safe and ready to display the skills of our souls or give us a tool to do something special in life. Now why would you hurt it? When you start thinking of your body as something which belongs to you like any other thing like your pet or your family member, you don't break it. When someone accidentally breaks your jewelry box, you try to fix it with glue and tape and what not. You mend it. Likewise do it with your body. Care for it. You need to fix it, not hurt or cut it like the other person did (who hurt your feelings).
It's not like the thought doesn't come to your mind. It does, let's face it. But you love your body more than you would want to hurt it. Your body is the tool to express yourself. Cutting and hurting your body is like breaking it from within. So choose love. I read an example from the book The Power . It says, you can't remove the air from the glass, rather you have to fill it with water to remove the air. So, you have to fill yourself with love for your body as you would love another person. Hence, removing the hurt and pain. Love is the key.
Love yourself like you would a child. Love your body like you would love another person.
Same goes when you want to hurt someone else. The thought so arise. Replace the thought with the thought of love for someone familiar, someone family.
On the personal note, I went through this a lot of times. When I felt I can't take the emotional pain anymore and I feel the need to hurt myself to take away the pain. Like, no one understands your feelings. Family and people judge you. The person who you want to be with is away from you in his own wars. It becomes difficult. Very difficult. I have hit the wall with my knuckles one time, and it hurt so bad. I regretted it the very moment. I make scratch with my nail at times on my wrist planning where would I cut. But if I do this even once, it will not stop. I will give myself the bruise I would never give to anyone else. Then why myself. I stopped. I felt that my love for 'me' is far more than the need to cut.
I get hurt sometimes emotionally , by people and many times by myself. The thought used to be always there at the back of my head that I had an option to ease it by a small cut on my wrist. A tiny one. The one which no one will even notice. But I held myself at that moment. I hugged myself and patted myself on my back and kept myself together and I said, it's okay. It's okay to be sad. It's okay to cry. I will pass this. I have 'me'. I have always crossed all the obstacles. I find myself worth it. Worth loving. Worth it all.. Worth holding on to. And love.
Because, love is the key.
