It’s always about something that happened to your heart. Broken? Disappointed? Hurt by someone you didn’t expect? Confused? Unsure what to do or how to react? You feel the pain, but you have no idea how to respond to yourself. I’ve been there so many times, it’s like I’ve become an expert in that field.
The steps
The first thing you should do is focus on your feelings. I always take time to isolate myself so I can better understand what’s really happening inside me. Am I hurt? Yes. Why? Because… And this is the most important part: to clearly see what made me feel this way. Can it be changed? Has it happened before, or is this the first time? Take your time to process everything that bothers you and fuels your anxiety.
Just Don’t Worry Too Much
Ask yourself: Do I want to feel this way, all the time? Of course-no. So, take some helpful steps, slowly, and they will make you better, trust me 🙂
- Give yourself all the time you need – do not do things that are hard for you.
- Listen to the music you love- it helps,
- Go on walks alone, to give the space you deserve,
- Try to imagine what is interesting for you and start the plan to learn new skills ( only the activities that you find interesting, going to the gym, learning new language, learning to knit, maybe some idea for new business, take notes what is happening in your heart- like journal, you will feel the better- believe me.
- Never, ever give up. Say to yourself that you can go through another life experience..Everyone goes through emotional pain at least once. Remind yourself: this is life. Sometimes we’re happy, sometimes we’re hurt—but eventually, we rise again with the desire to move on.
- Take small steps, don’t rush into a big project ( First-wake up, then make coffee- slowly, look through the window and stare as long as you want. Great, you are out of the comfort of your bed). You can write down your daily plan or try to organize.
- I have a lot more advice—things I’ve personally done—but for now, doing just these few things is more than enough. They really do help.
- Don’t underestimate the value of professional help.
If it feels too hard to handle alone, and you need someone to talk to—someone who can offer a fresh perspective—it’s okay to reach out. You don’t have to go through it all by yourself.
The Most Important
Accept what is happening and be gentle with your feelings—and with yourself.
There’s no universal rule for how long it will take to heal, but step by step, day by day, it will get better. Some days, it might feel like everything is crashing back down, like you haven’t made any progress at all—but that’s completely normal. Healing isn’t a straight line. So keep going.
Keep moving through the pain. You will be okay 🙂
