Healing A Broken Heart - Three Steps To Emotional Freedom
Mending a broken heart can take awhile, but it doesn't take forever
. Be patient with the emotional healing process and take these important steps to help speed the healing process.
It is part of our nature to have strong emotional bonds. But when the relationship comes to an end, we have a tough time letting go of this person without feeling alot of emotional pain and sorrow - heartbreak.
It is a hard place to find oneself, but there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel, even though it may not feel like it right now.
Hard as it may seem, the day will come when you'll wonder why you felt so much agony letting this person that you thought was "the one" go.
Healing A Broken Heart - Step One In The Emotional Healing Process
The first step toward total emotional freedom from the loss of a relationship is to let go at a deep level.
This means making a conscious decision to clear your mind of the past and stop thinking about your life with your ex, for awhile.
You will know when to revisit the memories when there is no longer emotional pain or obsessive thoughts about your ex. Make an effort to be conscious of your thoughts as they surface.
Are you finding it difficult to clear your thoughts - are you having trouble letting go of the images of the times you shared together?
Are you searching out your former partner's friends or family - visiting social media sites such as Facebook to find out what your ex is doing since you broke up?
Don't let yourself indulge in these types of actions or behaviors because it will make it harder to heal from a broken heart. When you think these thoughts, replace them with other thoughts and for now, do not keep in touch with your ex. This may mean doing exactly the opposite of what your heart is telling you to do.
You want your thoughts to be free. If you keep doing the things that keep you connected to your ex, your heart will not be able to let go, making it very hard to leave the pain behind.
If you still have hopes for a reunion - the fact is - it may not work out.
It is only when you let go of any expectations or outcomes about reuniting with your ex - doing this opens the door for that to actually happen more than anything else you can do right now.
The first step for healing a broken heart - letting go of the past. If there are physical objects that remind you of your ex or the relationship, put them away now, if at all possible.
Imagine a conversation - tell your ex that you want only the best for them and that you are releasing and forgiving them.
Doing this is an important first step in your healing process.
Think about this imaginary conversation with your ex whenever you feel the pain of separation.
It's fine if you are still feeling low or start reliving what might have been. It's OK to hold onto the pain for awhile and carry it so that you can let it go more easily later on.
Realize that even though it feels like the world has come to an end, what is actually happening is a chance for a new beginning.
Healing A Broken Heart - Step Two In The Emotional Healing Process
Refocus yourself on your overall life goals. A healthy way to make a new beginning is to make meaningful goals for yourself.
These goals and plans don't have to be set in stone, but what it does is get you moving again in a positive direction.
When we experience breakup pain and anxiety, we're unable to move forward because of this constant emotional pain.
Putting together a good plan for your life - setting attainable fun goals like losing weight or getting into shape is an important step on the road to feeling good about yourself.
Engage your imagination during this process. Think about your best possible life. Know that you can be a happy person whether you're with a lover or not.
You can have anything that life has to offer - more love, friends, career success, inner peace and joy.
Healing A Broken Heart - Step Three In The Emotional Healing Process
Take actions for a better you. Step two was envisioning what you want. Taking actions to create a new and vibrant life for you can be fun and exhilirating.
Think about how your life was before you met your ex. What made you happy? What is your passion?
The most important thing is to love yourself first.
Discover what makes you happy...revisit your passions. Discover what makes you happiest - what makes you feel good about yourself and go for it.
Move toward your life's calling and destiny and trust that love will happen for you when the time is right.
Once you feel at peace...when you can truly appreciate the gift of this priceless learning experience then you know you are well on your way.
Acceptance is the key. When you accept that you aren't perfect and neither is your ex perfect.
When you can be thankful for the life lessons that came from your journey together with a smile - now you'll know for sure that you have begun your life's journey anew, with a healed heart stronger than before.
