What if heartbreak was your best healer?
What if you actually took some time to jump into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that wiped out you, it actually helped in creating you?
These are tough questions to ask yourself. Nonetheless, they are stunningly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in one way or another and honestly there is not any worse feeling that you can go through. You are feeling completely terrible for what appears to be a lifetime and the feelings of loss never really seem to depart. So long as we keep playing on the grand field of life, we will suffer the inescapable fact that our hearts will break now and then.
But what if, when heartbreak occurs, we allow it to show us where we really need to do deep interpersonal work? How do we take the pain of loss and be able to create something attractive with it?
I'm not suggesting that we should attempt to ascend above our agony, but rather as an alternative attempt to take our own agony 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 might make an awesome difference when we are confronted with deep grief.
So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take every bit of that pain within and turn it into something else. Try writing, painting, drawing, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what's inside of 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.
