What if heartbreak was your best healer?
What if you actually took a little bit of time to dive into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that annihilated you, it really helped to create you?
These are hard questions to ask yourself. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in some way and truthfully there is no worse feeling that you can go through. You're feeling absolutely awful for what seems like a lifetime and the sensations of loss never appear to go away. So long as we keep playing on the field of life, we are going to suffer the inevitable fact that our hearts will break now and then.
But what if, when heartbreak happens, we allow it to show us where we actually need to do deep interpersonal work? How can we take the discomfort of loss and be in a position to create something attractive with it?
I'm not saying that we should try to ascend above our discomfort, but rather as an alternative try and 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 same time one that might make an incredible difference when we face deep difficulty.
So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take every bit of that pain within and make it into something else. Try writing, painting, speaking, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what is inside of you instead of letting it eat you day by 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.
