Why put yourself through so much pain and suffering for a love that hurts and could end? Our hurt and tears clear the fog around our heart and illuminate the soul. There are plenty of obstacles keeping us from loving again. You could avoid the pain for some time, but in order to move on you must fully embrace the pain. Embracing the pain means experiencing loss, sadness, and grief. As difficult as it might be, allow the tears to flow and share your experience with your friends and family.
Instead of judging yourself harshly for your feelings, wash yourself in compassion for finding the strength to move through your pain. When you break up, you feel like you want to blame everyone for causing your heartache.
This includes not just your ex, but also their parents, your parents, their friends, your friends, and everyone in between. The only way to stop blaming others is to forgive them. No matter how grave the offense or how unacceptable their behavior, your healing starts when you let go of the gripe. Yes, it was unfair; yes, it was unjust; and yes, they did you wrong.
Forgive people, because they, like us, have many imperfections. They know not what they do. We let go of self-pity and resentments by being more grateful.
Not only be thankful to your ex and the relationship you shared, but start living a life filled with gratefulness. Appreciate the kind gesture, the words of encouragement, and the favorable circumstances that unfold in your life. Making a small gratitude list as you start or end the day can help you move from focusing on resentments to focusing on thankfulness. Once again, transform bitterness toward others to gratefulness that others have found love in their lives. If others have found love, let that be a message of hope and possibility for you.
We are each on our own journeys to better understanding ourselves and loving better. The way to be happy in and out of relationships is to let go of expectations and conditions. Be open to meeting new people, be open to being vulnerable, and be open to falling in love again. Set the intention for love to enter again. I know the feeling well. Seek to be your most honest self. Being vulnerable means being honest about your shortcomings and sharing your feelings.
You want to tell the same sad story repeatedly to friends—a love gone wrong, a love soured, a love that fell apart. There are many perspectives and stories in every relationship. Are you holding onto a story of resentment and bitterness? Are you willing to see a different story? A different perspective? Craig Bartholomew. More Info Add To Wishlist.
