Heartbreak Healer

By Evan Sanders


What if heartbreak was your best healer?

What if you took some time to jump into that question? What if, rather than heartbreak being the thing that annihilated you, it basically helped to create you?

These are tough questions to ask yourself. But, they are fantastically rewarding. Many have had their hearts damaged in some way and in all honesty there is no worse feeling in the world. You feel absolutely terrible for what appears to be an eternity and the deep sensations of loss never appear to go away. As long as we keep playing on the field of life, we are going to suffer the unavoidable fact that our hearts will break from time to time.

But what if, when heartbreak happens, we allow it to show us where we actually need to do deep interpersonal work? How do we take the agony of loss and be well placed to create something beautiful with it?

I'm not suggesting that we should try and ascend above our discomfort, but rather as an alternative try to take our own agony 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 could make an awesome difference when we face deep adversity.

So the next time your heart breaks, see if you can take all of that pain inside and change it into something else. Try writing, painting, talking, or anything else that feels right to you. Express what's really 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 give it a try. You never know what may happen.
