Start Some New Habits – Heal Your Broken Heart
It only take three weeks to start a new habit and that means it also only takes three weeks to stop any bad ones. If you are still mooning over your ex and obsessing over every little thing that went wrong – STOP right now!!! Although it’s quite natural to feel hurt for a long time after a losing someone we love, we have to get up and begin to live again. So get out of those ugly sweatpants and put away the junk food, it’s time to start some new habits and try something new to mend your broken heart!
First of all we need to stop some of the bad habits we are currently doing. Are you checking Facebook or Twitter every 5 minutes to see what’s your ex is doing? Are you casually bringing them up in conversations with friends you still share? We want to know if our ex feels the same hurt we do, just as we want them to miss us as much as we miss them. In order to heal our broken hearts we need to make a great effort to break these bad habits. So, pinch yourself whenever you feel the need to bring up your ex or go online to check up on them. Not lightly but hard! You have to begin make yourself aware of these bad habits so you can stop them.
With our new self inflected injuries on our arms, we will begin some new habits to divert ourselves from the ones we are trying to stop. We need to begin to feel good about ourselves again so the first habit we should get into is complementing ourselves. I know this will feel weird at first but sit down and write 10 things about yourself that are good. It could be as simple as this:
10 things I like about me:
- I’m very…
- I’ve very good at…
- I really look good in…
- I’m really good at…
- My … really kicks butt!
- My … is/are my best feature.
- I have great…
- One of my best skills is/are…
- I really love my…
- I’m also very…
You are now going to begin everyday by looking in the mirror and repeat these 10 thing like you mean it! No squinting up your face either! You will begin to believe it the more you say and you will start to once again like who you are.
Is there something that you have always wanted to try? Cause next we are going to try something new! Running, rock climbing, creative writing or learning to cook? Joining something will help you get your self confidence back and met new people, and you can learn a new skill along the way. These people are going to get to know you as “single” you, not “couple” you.
Trying something new and beginning new habits will give you something else to concentrate on beside what is going on with your ex. Try these 2 things for 3 weeks and see how you begin to feel. Are you thinking about your ex less often? Are you beginning to feel more confident? We are just beginning to retrain how we feel about ourselves and healing our broken heart takes time.
