How To Overcome An Emotional Break
Failure to overcome an emotional break can have profound consequences, but it is also possible to overcome it – if you want to.
If we have focused too much on the other person, it is likely to be more difficult for us to overcome an emotional break. We need to make sure that instead of completing us, others complement us so as not to be incomplete when the emotional break has occurred.
How does an emotional break come about?
We have all experienced an emotional break at one point . Be it because good friendships break, because the partner separates, because a loved one dies or another emotional break has arisen on a material level, for example the loss of a job.
To overcome an emotional break, you must first recognize it. Realize that something is affecting you more than is good for you. Recognize that you are burdened by the emotional break and that it occupies you more in your everyday life than it should. Then you can use the following strategies to overcome an emotional break:
Accept what happened
Accepting what happened is the hardest part when it comes to overcoming an emotional break. In the beginning we will refuse to accept what happened, we will get angry, we will feel anger and then sadness. However, the reality is what it is.
Sometimes when the emotional break is the end of a relationship, we can have hope. If we negotiate a possible return to the relationship and it happens, we will be able to take steps back.
It is normal to experience a range of uncomfortable feelings and emotions. However, that doesn’t mean we have to run away from them, ignore them, or cover them up. You have to look at them and accept them. Only then can we move forward.
Do not suppress your feelings
Do not suppress or hide your feelings as this could be counterproductive. The ideal is that you express it, each person doing it differently. Some choose to talk to friends, others cry heartbroken, and others isolate for a short time.
When you’re trying to overcome an emotional break, look for the formula that works for you to get what you want. If you’re one of those people who isolate yourself, don’t go out with friends to try to forget what happened. This will only heighten the emotions when you are alone.
In the culture we live in, we are taught to show pleasant feelings but to hide uncomfortable ones, perhaps because they make others uncomfortable. However, it is time to stop and express what we feel when we feel it. Without judging us and without restricting the freedom we have.
Focus on what motivates you
With the previous steps completed, it is enough to focus on the emotional break. It’s time to focus on everything else we have around us that makes us vibrate. It can be a personal project, hobby, work, children …
Many people believe that their life revolves around their relationship. Then if there is a break, they no longer know where to go. It is important that we look around and pay attention to what else motivates us.
If we are unable to change perspective ourselves and the break is too much of a burden for us, professional help should be requested. Ultimately, it’s about relationships, other people, jobs, etc. are only part of our lives – and not the center.
Life goes on!
It is natural that when we go through an emotional break we believe that everything around us is collapsing. No matter how hard the pothole is or how hard it is to get out. In the end everything works out and everything is resolved. The past has already shown you, do you remember?
Over time, we learn from this experience, it makes us stronger, and we get on with our lives. Because nothing ends with an emotional break. In some cases, this also means a fresh start full of opportunities.
The center of our life is ourselves and around us there are several centers of interest that give our life a meaning (work, family, hobbies …). If one overestimates one of them or revolves around one of these focal points, a terrible pain is promised if it falls apart. But you too can overcome an emotional break!
