“I wish I didn’t have to feel this way,” a client said to me. She was talking about her heartbreak. I understood what she meant. It’s hard. It’s sad. And it usually hurts.
Like the death of anything, the end of a relationship requires grief. The world is different now then it was when the two of you were together. Plans have changed, your outlook is different. Expereincing the emotion this causes is an essential step in healing.
Have you heard the saying e-motion is energy in motion? If you’re feeling blue this week it may be time to let that energy move. Throw yourself a pity party! Set a time limit (you don’t want to feel sorry for yourself forever) and then let loose. Give yourself 24-48 hours to feel as sad, unhappy, or angry as you do. Really go for it! Feel each of your emotions with every ounce of your energy– let them move straight on out of your body!
