How many of us have dwelled over a heartbreak? A situation that we can not problem solve or change. I have, and to be truthful probably more than once. One of the most beautiful, strong and powerful emotions can be the worse pain we've felt or the foremost happiest moments of our existence. A heartbreak can be anything from a long-time relationship to a short-time relationship or a texting relationship. If you deeply cared about this person in your life and connected with them on an emotional level, you will feel a sad and deep emptiness. Whatever you're dealing with at this moment in time, I promise you that time heals everything. I'm here to tell you how to get through the process.

STEPS: HOW TO HEAL THE HEART

1. Soak up the sun.

I can't stress this step enough because it is the most leading to happiness. Surround yourself with some good enjoyable friends and do something outdoors. Take a hike, go to the beach, lay out, take a walk. Anyone of these examples can help you almost feel alive again. Some say, being in the sun can bring joy and happiness especially after a breakup.

2. Do something that excites you.

Think of something that you always wanted to fulfill, and take the chance to do it. Nothing would hold you back and no one can tell you otherwise. Something that excites you and can also make you feel good. This can be anything little or to an extreme.

3. Endorphins.

This is also a key step to the recovery process. Endorphins can release any pain, sadness or anger you are feeling in this moment. Endorphins come in many different forms, working out, going to a shooting range, running as fast as you can or anything that is a stress reliever for you. Going to the gym is one of most therapeutic for myself and others. Using the anger, sadness and the heartbreak feeling to push the weights or run as fast as you can because it almost seems as if you are pushing it out. This might sound silly but it works for some.

4. Feel good about yourself.

Yes, it is OK to look like a hot mess for a few rough days; however, you should also feel amazing for yourself. You do not need someone else to compliment you in order to make you feel a special way. Go get your hair done, nails, spa day and treat yourself right. Everyone needs at least one day a month to be all about you and your needs.

5. Change of scenery / travel.

Change your scenery, even if it's not halfway across the country. You can just travel an hour or two away from your hometown. By doing this, you are allowing yourself to escape from this person, and to see different places and meet new people. When you travel, you do not need to worry about running into this person. You have time to relax.

6. Surround yourself with good genuine people.

By surrounding yourself with good genuine people, you can really help yourself because you are interpreting their positive attitude and reflecting on that. When you are around more positive, uplifting people, this can help you accept what happened in the past and move on.

7. Care for your body.

Allowing your body to sleep and rest will also help for a speedy recovery. Your body needs at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night in order to be healthy.

8. Remember that it is OK to cry.

Have you ever felt a lump and burning sensation in your throat, while those tears are beginning to well up? That is a sign from your body telling you to cry and let the pain release from your body. As a human, you have to remember it is okay to cry and this can also be very beneficial to you because we are releasing these feelings we are having. So next time you feel those tears rolling down your face, let yourself have a therapeutic cry.
