What if heartbreak was your best healer?
What if you actually took some time to leap into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that annihilated you, it basically helped create you?
These are hard questions to ask yourself. Nonetheless, they really are incredibly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in some way and in all honesty there is no worse feeling that you can go through. You feel completely horrible for what seems like a lifetime and the feelings of loss never seem to depart. If we keep playing on the great field of life, we are going to suffer the inescapable fact that our hearts will break from time to time.
But what if, when heartbreak occurs, we allow it to show us where we actually have to do deep interpersonal work? How do we take the agony of loss and be able to create something gorgeous with it?
I'm not suggesting that we should try and ascend above our pain, but rather as an alternative attempt to take our own discomfort and birth something positive and beautiful 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 amazing difference when we are confronted with deep difficulty.
So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all that pain deep within and make 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 try it. You never know what may happen.
