Being heartbroken is the hardest thing some of us ever go through. Snuggle up with a cup of tea and these tips might just help you heal.
- Accept the pain. Avoiding it isn’t gonna do you any good, and if you loved enough to be heartbroken, you have to at least experience some pain.
- Now that you’ve accepted it, cry all you want. Cry until the tears stop (which might take a few days).
- Don’t listen to sad songs.
- Understand your emotions. Your feelings of being heartbroken are unlikely to go away unless you recognise and understand whatever you’re feeling and what your emotions are trying to tell you. Opening up to your feelings means learning to understand them.
- Don’t look at old photos of you two.
- Change your thoughts. If you’re finding it hard to handle your breakup, reframe your heartbreak. Stop seeing it as the end of your happiness and instead, turn it into a challenge, and view it as an opportunity to get to know yourself better.
- Find an ice cream shop and eat all the ice cream you want. You deserve it.
- Choose to be happy. Your happiness is your own choice, and you literally decide if you’re happy or sad for the day. So wake up and decide to be happy.
- Plan a trip somewhere far.
- Theres no room for guilt in your life. If you make a mistake going forward, then accept the guilt in the moment. But ongoing guilt won’t do you any good.
- Perfect the art of smiling and nodding when someone brings his name up in conversation. Its okay if it kills you a little bit inside, just pretend to be okay on the outside.
- Start a new project. Something that you love doing.
- Don’t be hard on yourself. Don’t be embarrassed for feeling the way you do.
- Whatever you do, don’t call. Or at least try not to.
- Keep a journal, and write whatever you want in it. Write a letter to them, write about your emotions, write stories, write anything. Writing helps.
- Take each day as it comes. You’re gonna have good days and bad days, and thats okay.
- Eat. Even if you lose your appetite. Eat some good food, I promise its good for your soul.
- Don’t lose focus of your goals and ambitions. Its not worth it.
- Surround yourself with good people. People who allow you to be you and who are there to listen and love you. They’re there for that.
- Stop crying, eventually.
- Connect to the universe by praying. Get in touch with your inner self and whatever it brings you. Seek peace, joy, and strength.
- And finally, forgive yourself.
At the end of the day, your happiness comes within yourself. The only one that can help you is yourself, so hang in there.
