What if heartbreak was your best healer?
What if you really took some time to leap into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that annihilated you, it really helped create you?
These are hard questions to ask yourself. But, they really are fantastically rewarding. Many have had their hearts damaged in some way and honestly there is no worse feeling in the world. You feel totally terrible for what appears to be a lifetime and the feelings of loss never seem to go. So long as we keep playing on the great field of life, we are going to suffer the inevitable fact that our hearts will break from time to time.
But what if, when heartbreak happens, we allow it to show us where we truly must do deep interpersonal work? How do we take the discomfort of loss and be in a position to create something beautiful with it?
I'm not saying that we should attempt to ascend above our discomfort, but rather as an alternative try to 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 same time one that might make an awesome difference when we are faced with deep adversity.
So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all of that agony inside and change it into something else. Try writing, painting, drawing, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what is within you instead of letting it eat you day after 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 try it out. You never know what may happen.
