Getting Over Heartbreak

In this article we are going to talk about heartbreak. If we are going to be honest, the simple truth is that everyone is going to have to face the deleterious effects of a nasty break up at some point in their lives. Statistically …. just about ALL of us loves more than one person throughout our lives, and when a special relationship ends, the pain can be immense and overwhelming.

What are the effects of a broken heart?

Did you know that in some recent surveys, doctors around the globe actually linked heartbreak with a shorter life expectancy? It's true, with some studies showing a direct relationship between our ability to emotionally heal after trauma, and our capacities to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. The simple truth is that the more science expands, the more strongly the relationship between our thoughts, our feelings and our ultimate health and well being becoming. Neglecting your "emotional" heart just may be as bad for you as neglecting your biological one.

So what can you do if you are going through a bad breakup?

Get help. Consult with people who have been through the exact thing. Share your emotions. Take care of your mind, body and your spiritual self as well. The biggest enemy of heartbreak healing is cutting oneself off from the world and keeping it all inside, and allowing feelings of overwhelm to simmer out of control.

You can turn a bad breakup into a positive life experience. You can overcome the pain of heartbreak. And you can turn your pain into power! You simply need to take the very first step.
