Acknowledge and Deal with Negative Thoughts
When heartbreak strikes, it’s normal to be overwhelmed by negative thoughts. Instead of burying them deep down, acknowledge and address them. Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our answer. Take time to reflect on your feelings and respond with self-compassion and understanding. This self-awareness is the first step towards healing.
Understand the Difference between Grief and Depression
It’s essential to recognise the distinction between grief, a natural response to loss, and depression, a prolonged state of hopelessness.
“The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not ‘get over’ losing a loved one; you will learn to live with it.” -“On Death and Dying,” by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Seek support from friends, family, or a therapist if you struggle with prolonged despair.
Find Enjoyable Hobbies and Creative Outlets
Engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfilment can be incredibly therapeutic. Whether painting, writing, dancing, gardening, or any other creative outlet, immersing yourself in these activities can provide a much needed escape from emotional turmoil. Creativity is how I share my soul with the world. Embrace your creative side, and let it help mend your broken heart.
Listen to Music to Relax
Music uniquely can soothe the soul and transport us to a calmer state of mind. Consider creating a playlist of comforting songs that resonate with your emotions in times of heartbreak. Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and everything. Let the music be your companion on this healing journey.
Identify and Acknowledge Feelings of Anger
It’s natural to feel angry after a heartbreak; suppressing this emotion can harm your healing process. Instead, recognise and validate your feelings of Anger. Anger is an appropriate reaction to racist attitudes or the belief that some people are inherently superior to others for any reason. Adopt your Anger as a sign of strength and use it as a catalyst for positive change.
Stay in Touch with Loved Ones and Give Yourself Space if Needed
During difficult times, the support of loved ones can be a source of great comfort. Reach out to your friends and family, and let them be there for you. At the same time, don’t hesitate to take some time alone to process your emotions. Find a balance between connection and solitude.
Focus on Other Positive Relationships in Your Life
While healing a broken heart, it’s crucial not to let the pain overshadow the positive relationships in your life. Cherish the bonds with your friends, family, and loved ones who bring joy and support.
I sustain myself with the love of family.- “Letter to My Daughter” by Maya Angelou.
Allow these relationships to nurture and strengthen you as you heal.
Take Care of Yourself Physically and Mentally
Self-care is of utmost importance when healing a broken heart. Nurture your physical and mental well-being by prioritising sleep, eating healthily, and exercising regularly. Don’t be satisfied with stories or how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth. Unfold your own tale of self-care and make it a cornerstone of your healing process.
Seek Professional Help from a Therapist if Necessary
Sometimes, the wounds of a broken heart run deep, and professional guidance becomes essential. A therapist can provide a safe space to explore your emotions, gain clarity, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”* Embrace the transformative power of therapy to heal and grow.
Let Go of Bitterness and Try to Look Back with Love
As you embark on your healing journey, strive to release any bitterness or resentment you may harbor. Letting go of negative emotions will pave the way for new beginnings and personal growth. When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. Allow love, not bitterness, to be the guiding force in your healing process.
Healing a broken heart is a transformative process that requires patience, self-reflection, and perseverance. By acknowledging and dealing with negative thoughts, embracing creative outlets, seeking support, and practising self-care, you can mend your broken heart and embark on a path towards change and success. Adopt the tears, learn from the experience, and emerge stronger, wiser, and ready to embrace the new chapters that await.
