What if heartbreak was your best healer?
What if you really took a little bit of time to dive into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that wiped out you, it really helped create you?
These are tricky questions to ask yourself. However, they really are stunningly rewarding. Many have had their hearts ripped out in some way or other and honestly there isn't any worse feeling that you can go through. You're feeling absolutely terrible for what seems to be a lifetime and the feelings of loss never really seem to depart. As long as we keep playing on the great field of life, we are going to suffer the inevitable fact that our hearts will break occasionally.
But what if, when heartbreak comes to us, we allow it to show us where we really need to do deep interpersonal work? How will we take the discomfort of loss and be able to create something beautiful with it?
I'm not saying that we should try and ascend above our agony, 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 very same time one that might make an incredible difference when we are faced with deep grief.
So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take every bit of that discomfort within and turn it into something else. Try writing, painting, speaking, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what's really within 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 give it a try. You never know what may happen.
