Allow yourself to be human and feel the pain.
Feeling emotional pain is one of the things that makes us human. Going through a break-up can bring up some deep, raw emotions that may scare you or feel too painful to survive, but it is extremely important that you let those raw emotions out. Find a safe place where you are comfortable and let the tears flow. It is one of our bodies' ways of ridding itself of the sadness or anger you may feel. If you try to run away from or cover up the feelings, that pain will reappear somewhere else, usually in an unhealthy way.
Give yourself time to heal.
If your heart has been broken, it will take time for you to completely heal. You probably won't wake up tomorrow completely "over it." Some people heal faster than others. Some people’s emotions go deeper than others. The deeper your emotions, the longer it will take to heal. Be patient with yourself. You will get through this. It may help to think about the tens of millions who have gone through what you’re experiencing. There are so many songs about heartbreak for a reason… everyone’s been there. People overcome broken hearts, and so will you. Take heart and hold on.
It’s amazing how much better you feel when there’s someone you can talk to. The wisest man in the Bible, King Solomon, said “Two people are better off than one, for they can help each other succeed. If one person falls, the other can reach out and help. But someone who falls alone is in real trouble.” So, find a friend or family member, someone you can trust, and talk it out. You’ll be glad you did. You can also reach out to our HopeCoaches anytime!
