"A broken heart bleeds tears"
-Steve Maraboli
Dealing with a break up or a divorce can be painful for most people. Sometimes, it could days, weeks, months or years to get over it. Do you want to know how to fix your broken heart, follow these steps and you will start to feel much better:
Let it all out: It's not good to bottle up your emotions. We all need that one day to let it all out. If you feel like crying, cry. If you feel like screaming, scream. If you feel like punching someone or something, get a punching bag ;-). Holding in those hurt emotions can lead to depression, anger and rejection. After you have let out your emotions, you start to feel a little better and ready to take the next step to get over the relationship or divorce.
Pray: You can do or get over anything with Gods help. Pray and ask God to heal your heart and to help you get over the bitter emotions. You can't heal your broken heart alone to spend time with God and allow him to help you along the way.
Spend time with friends and family who make you laugh: It's good to spend some time alone to collect your thoughts and think about what you have learned from the relationship; however, try to spend time with close friends and family who will keep a smile on your face. Laughter usually makes you forget why you were so upset in the first place.
Try something new: When dealing with a broken heart, try to pick up a new hobby or join a social club. That will keep your mind off the relationship and focus on something more positive.
It's not the end of the world: Just because the relationship or marriage did not work, know that it's not the end of the world. God brings people in and out of your life for a reason. Some people are put in your life for a season. You have learned something by being with them. Sometimes, it's best that the relationship did not work because there is someone out there BETTER for you. Try to look at the brighter side of things and not focus so much on the negative.
FORGIVE: There's a saying "forgive and you will be forgiven." How can we expect God to forgive us when we can't forgive other people? From my past experience with heartbreaks, I have learned that forgiving people that hurt you makes the healing process SO MUCH EASIER. I know it may be hard to do, but for your own sake, please do not hold grudges.
Keep a journal: It's easier for some people to get over a relationship or marriage by keeping a journal. Write down your emotions, prayer, etc in a book so that you may reflect back on them later.
Listen to music: Now, when I say listen to music, don't listen to those sad, depressing songs that won't make you feel better about the situation or "men/women" bashing songs. Listen to music that is uplifting. Worship music makes me feel a lot better in any situation.
I hope these tips help some of you mend a broken heart. Remember, life goes on, and so will you. Be blessed.
