What if heartbreak was your best healer?
What if you took a little time to dive into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that destroyed you, it actually helped to create you?
These are tricky questions to ask yourself. But, they really are stunningly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in some way and in all honesty there is no worse feeling that exists. You feel completely horrible for what seems like an eternity and the feelings of loss never appear to depart. So long as we keep playing on the grand field of life, we are going to suffer the inevitable fact that our hearts will break occasionally.
But what if, when heartbreak occurs, we allow it to show us where we actually have to do deep interpersonal work? How can we take the agony of loss and be well placed to create something gorgeous with it?
I'm not suggesting that we should attempt to ascend above our discomfort, but rather as an alternative try and take our own discomfort and birth something positive and pretty out of it. It's a challenge not for the faint of heart, and yet at the very same time one that would make an incredible difference when we face deep adversity.
So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all of that pain inside and change it into something else. Try writing, painting, drawing, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what is inside you instead of letting it eat you day to day. There's something beautiful about going through a time of great change and pain. Yes, it really does hurt, but maybe it is about your heart breaking open instead of breaking to pieces?
Just give it a try. You never know what may happen.
