How Do I Heal My Broken Heart? - By: Susan Russo

"The best way out is always through." -Robert Frost

We all know that breaking up is hard to do. For years songs have been written on how to get over heartache: *50 Ways To Leave Your Lover *After The Love Has Gone *Earth, Wind & Fire *Don't Go Breaking My Heart *It's Too Late *You Give Love a Bad Name *I Will Survive

And the list goes on and on and on. Did you ever wonder why so many people can relate to these songs? Because most people have lived through it themselves; and by the way, they've survived it too.

Although you may feel alone and lonely right now just hang in there, and just like everyone else; you too will survive your broken heart.

You may ask, "But what do I do in the meantime while I'm hurting?" Well, first you have to realize that you can't go around it, over it or under it. You have to go through it. Getting over heart break is a process that you can and will get beyond. You just have to allow yourself a little time.

Don't expect to pick up the pieces in a day or two; it just doesn't work that way. Be realistic about healing. The first couple of weeks or months will be the hardest, but as time goes by, each day will bring you closer to feeling like yourself again.

Make sure you keep yourself busy doing positive things with close friends and family. Don't sit around listening to the old "break-up" songs; they will only make you feel worse.

It's very important for you to learn how to get in control of your thinking. If you sit around all day and go over and over what happened, you will stay stuck in the past. You need to keep your thoughts focused on what you would like your future to look like.

You're vision should be on creating the life you want, not focused on what you've left behind.

We all know it hurts, we all know it's a struggle. Every time you start to drift back into the whoa-is-me thinking, feeling sorry for yourself or wondering why things didn't work out the way you wanted, STOP YOURSELF. Say out loud, "Stop It!"

The more you do this the quicker you will be on the road to healing. The single most important factor that will move you closer to feeling good again is learning how to direct your thoughts.

Become the captain of your ship, steer it where you want it to go. If you master the technique of controlling your thoughts; you will be on the road to a happy future in all aspects of your life.
