Experiencing heartbreak is a critical part of our lives as our brain processes heartbreak the same way it processes physical pain.
The question now is how can heartbreak be avoided? ‘Heartbreak’ today is fondly regarded as breakfast by the youths, which we all generally believe that it will be served to us one day by somebody or something.
There is this mentality that only someone you love can cause you heartbreak, when they either walk away or the inevitable happens to them, but how true is this statement?
Has your pet ever died the moment you bonded with it? Imagine…after developing a lovely affection with your pet, then it suddenly falls sick and dies. Have you ever invested your money and time on a project and this never works out? You invested your life savings and your time into this, and at a growing stage, everything you have built crumbles. What else can be more heartbreaking?
Heartbreak is mental grief that is usually caused by loss or disappointment in something or someone of great value. Heartbreak can be overwhelmingly dangerous to our emotional and physical health as the body does not only feel the emotional aftermath but also the physical aftermath as the relationship we have built or the investment we have made over time becomes an essential part of our survival.
 It is very crucial to know that heartbreak and subsequent grief are normal part of an emotional creature, which shows that we are humans. It is an affirmation that we can form loving and intimate connections in life.
Getting over heartbreak can be a difficult task and traumatic but we need to move on as soon as possible. Heartbreak causes emotional shock; which shows that you have to be very gentle with yourself while going through this phase. You do not need to be hard on yourself because disappointment or loss is definitely inevitable.
Having the courage to deal with any form of heartbreak is the easiest way to become a better person. As humans, we deal with real-life situations differently, so, the courage to handle whatever heartbreak differs with individuals.
Although, with time everything becomes easy to deal with as our perspective to life is likely to change but it is advisable that this changes in a positive way to avoid the transference of pain to someone or something else, which is likely to destroy you in the end.
Read about some of the ways you can deal with heartbreak:
Firstly, it is advisable to accept what has happened: By acknowledging what has happened, you begin to find the courage to move on and then overcome every pain attached to the heartbreak. Never try to ignore your feelings by clinging to unrealistic ideas, they can only work for a while and will further break you.
Allow yourself to feel the pain. We are humans, we have our emotions to deal with, and if we do not take care of our emotions, it has a greater chance of getting hold of us. Never ignore your emotions, feel the pain by screaming or shouting, crying, or yelling, as this helps people around us understand how we feel and how they can come to our aid.
