Being “in love” is wonderful. You smile more. You laugh spontaneously. Everyday things you’ve done for years seen wonderfully different. And all things are “right” in your world. In other words, happiness is at an all-time high.
Then something happens… a broken heart.
Heartbreak is one of the most painful experiences that a person could face. If you are heartbroken you will feel an intense reaction as if your life has been stripped of meaning.
Anyway you put it, heartbreak sucks! Believe me, I’ve been there and I empathize to all those who are in this situation.
But there is hope. You just have to have the right attitude towards it. Let me share some powerful thoughts that helped me recover and mend a broken heart.
LEARN to forgive. When a deep injury is done to us, we will never recover unless we learn to forgive. It is very crucial step to keep us moving forward. But before you can forgive others, learn to forgive yourself. This way, it will take the pressure off of you not being perfect, and it gets rid of the guilt that you may still be harbouring. After forgiving yourself and your ex, you will be then having the courage to forget and learn from this ordeal.
TAKE one day at a time. Give yourself time to mourn but set a date on which the mourning will end. As they say, “Time heals all wounds” and it allows us to ponder more the meaning of the break-up. You will also see that what you are experiencing is not as bad as it looks and it is really a blessing in disguise. Remember, when a door of happiness closes, a window of happiness will open.
BE positive. Develop a helpful mantra that you can speak in faith every day. Something like… “This too shall pass” and “Something good is going to happen”.
As I have experienced, the key to make all of these things work is patience, tons of it! You will not be healed overnight, so better keep your hopes up. Think of these breakups turn into something that will make us mature enough and stronger for a new relationship.
