How To Heal A Broken Heart

"The best way out is always through."
-Robert Frost

We all know that breaking up is hard to do. For years
songs have been written on how to get over heartache:
*50 Ways To Leave Your Lover...Paul Simon
*After The Love Has Gone...Earth, Wind & Fire
*Don't Go Breaking My Heart...Elton John and Kiki Dee
*It's Too Late...Carole King
*You Give Love a Bad Name...Bon Jovi
*I Will Survive...Gloria Gaynor

And the list goes on and on and on. Did you ever wonder why
so many people can relate to these songs? Because most
people have lived through it themselves; and by the way, they've
survived it too.

Although you may feel alone and lonely right now; just hang
in there. And just like everyone else; you too will survive your
broken heart.

You may ask, "But what do I do in the meantime while I'm hurting?"
Well, first you have to realize that can't go around it, over it or under it.
You have to go through it. Getting over heart break is a process that you
can and will get beyond. You just have to allow yourself a little time.

Don't expect to pick up the pieces in a day or two; it just
doesn't work that way.

Be realistic about healing. The first couple of weeks or months
will be the hardest, but as time goes by, each day will bring
you closer to feeling like yourself again.

Make sure you keep yourself busy doing positive things with
close friends and family. Don't sit around listening to the old
"break-up" songs; they will only make you feel worse.

It's very important for you to learn how to get in control of
your thinking. If you sit around all day and go over and over
what happened, you will stay stuck in the past. You need to keep
your thoughts focused on what you would like your future
to look like.

You're vision should be on creating the life you want, not on
what you've left behind.

We all know it hurts, we all know it's a struggle. Every time you
start to drift back into the whoa-is-me thinking, feeling sorry for
yourself or wondering why things didn't work out the way
you wanted, STOP YOURSELF. Say out loud, "Stop It!"

The more you do this the quicker you will be on the road to
healing. The single most important factor that will move you
closer to feeling good again is learning how to direct your thoughts.

Become the captain of your ship, steer it where you want it to go.
If you master the technique of controlling your thoughts; you will
be on the road to a happy future in all aspects of your life.
