Tips To Recover From A Broken Heart - Dr. Carolina

If you’re reading this, probably you’re at a place that hurts, makes you feel lonely and poignant. Getting over a breakup needs no rocket science; rather it’s your own willingness, forgiveness and someone who can guide you towards the right direction. Let’s find out how to heal a broken heart with some special tips for quick recovery.

Step #1 Free Yourself

Feelings of guilt, despair and resentment can be your biggest enemies that hold you back from moving on. Free yourself of all pressures, downbeat feelings and negativity and start living your life. 

Step #2 Make time for yourself

After shredding off negativity and desolation, it’s time to make time for yourself. Take a walk alone, jot down a journal or a blog and love yourself. This therapy is known as catharsis and it helps in healing through expressing. 

Step #3 Discover

When you spend time alone, you naturally think about your past experiences and how your relationship affected your life so far. It is okay to think about your past. This helps in discovering some truths you may not have ever thought about before. Find the answer to ‘was it always a pleasing relationship or there was something that always made you feel out-of-place’? It is also okay to grieve a little as long as you learn to pull yourself back up and start moving. 

Step #4 Borrow a viewpoint

Think of someone you have always looked up to, your mentor, your ideal or a hero from the history. Try to step into their shoes and think about your relationship and breakup with your ex. What would they think about it if they were reading your life story? Also, think how a stranger would judge your relationship. What your future life-partner would say about this tiny episode in your life? Probably you will get your answers you’ve been thinking about for so long. 

Step #5 Spring clean your life

Anything that ever gave you pain isn’t supposed to stay for long. Think about this relationship that ended you up looking for help to get rid of. Your ex is gone, admit that, and let go of his/her memories, unfriend and unfollow them from social media as well as real life. Detach yourself from the memories, the gifts, pictures, places and everything that reminds you of him/her. Now, welcome the new, refreshing season in your life. 

Step #6 Find support

If you’re in so much pain, you don’t have to be alone. Perhaps, a wrong person can make you feel even more miserable, so it’s important to find the right support and guidance on how to heal a broken heart, someone reliable you can pour your heart out to, someone who empathizes, understands and cares.
