Heal Your Body To Heal Your Heart
When our heart breaks we think we are going crazy. We can’t sleep, we can’t eat, we can’t think of anything else and we can’t do anything as usual. We feel huge pain and don’t know what to do. But you aren’t going crazy, it was proven that a broken heart affects not only the heart but also the body. Breakups affect our bodies, our minds, and our souls. After a breakup, we usually feel physical pain and this pain is real.
The main problem with a breakup is that we believe it influences only the soul while the rest of the body stays the same. This is not the case, because the soul and body are tied and affect each other. When you stop caring about yourself it hurts you so much and let me explain why. When you realize that to heal yourself you have to take care of your body you will be on the right way.
The first element is sleeping, when you’re tired you have less motivation and energy to do things and it will harm your return to routine. When you don’t sleep well you have less control over your emotions what will cause you to be more sensitive. When you’re sensitive it’s hard to handle the situation in a good way. In general, sleeping is important to your health in many aspects and it’s important to do all you can to sleep well. Without sleep well your healing process will be so hard.
I know that some of you want to sleep but just can’t do it. Because you have difficulties with falling asleep, maybe you wake up many times during the night or maybe you have nightmares. All of those are normal after a breakup. You can write a journal right before you go to sleep. Take a paper and write everything you feel, without judgment, don’t let anything stay inside, it will help you feel relief. Another thing you can try is meditating and letting all the thoughts go or you can practice gratitude — try to list all the good things that happened today. Your goal in these exercises is to make yourself go to sleep with a clean, happy mind.
The second element is eating, when you are hungry or don’t eat well you have less energy. You will probably be more tired. You have to understand that your situation consumes a lot of energy and it’s your job to help your body find the powers it needs to heal itself. Also, over-eating is not healthy and will hurt you.
When you don’t eat properly, and it doesn’t matter if you lose or gain weight. It affects your appearance and it can hurt your self-esteem. It will make the process more complicated and harder. Try to not buy unhealthy things for your house so you will have fewer temptations. Drink tea which is effective in reducing stress and if you don’t have an appetite try to eat in small quantities in the beginning, but don’t give up on meals. You can also ask someone to help with writing a weekly meal plan what will help you follow your eating habits.
The last thing I can recommend you is doing sport. Because sport reduces stress and it’s healthy. Sport can distract you from thinking all day about your ex and crying. When you exercise you have more good chemicals in your brain, and you will feel better.
You can exercise with music that makes you feel good, you can do it with friends, or you can go to the gym or groups. Also, it will be a great opportunity to meet new people and make friends.
Sleep, eating, and exercising are all important elements to make you feel good. Because when you take care of yourself and your body. Your self-esteem is higher, your self-confidence is higher, and you have more motivation to work for your happiness.
