For months, I had the worst case of writer's block. If you know anything about writing, most writers like to produce genuine content from the heart. However, how do you give good health and wellness content with a broken heart? Here's how! Trust me, I am taking in ever word that I am spewing out.
My heart-break has been one of discovery for me. It is the first time that I had been completely out of commission. However, this is not a post about how I transformed from broken to brand new, but how I made my heart-break work for me. I've recognized that, for me, the trick is not to avoid it, but to allow myself to feel it and learn from it. That means no rebounding, no drowning in wine, but exploring the actual experience.
Depending on how you look at it, every experience has a unique beauty that is capable of morphing you into a stronger and more beautiful person. Even if you can't see it at first -- love has a way of clouding your judgement. But a blessing transpires every time you are able to breathe again, every time you are able to share your story, and every time you are able to feel again. The truth is, sis, never beat yourself up over a heartbreak, whether it be a loss from a divorce, a long-term relationship, a short-term relationship....an ENTANGLEMENT. Yes, I said it! The process will ultimately lead to a better YOU.
I want you to visualize where you would like to be in 5 years. Create a vision board at home. Remember, now is not the time to be modest. Think Big. Believe that you deserve it! If you want a white house and picket fence, a new job, a big family or successful relationships, post to your heart's desire. You have to be able to see it in order to achieve it. You got this!
One of my favorite books is "In the Meantime" by Iyanla Vanzant who talks about clearing your house (house meaning soul) of the clutter. Sometimes we need to do just that. Now is not the time to hop on Tender, ladies. Use this time to get to know yourself in ways unimaginable. Get to know God's unfathomable love and allow him to love you first. Know that his promises will never come back void:
For I know the plans that I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11
Lastly,forgiveness is key to healing a broken heart. Resist the urge to seek revenge. The best revenge is healing and becoming the best version of you. Forgive yourself for the things that you allowed in the name of love. You've lived and you've learned. Now, it is time to take those lessons with you on to the next chapter, and never look back!
