10 Uplifting Things To Remember When Your Heart is Breaking.

Getting your heartbroken is scary. Getting dumped is horrifying.
Getting rejected is frightening. But nothing is scarier than the
fact that you may have had nice love and you selected the
absence of pain as an alternative.
It is perhaps easier to go through life being closed off to love.
It is perhaps safer and it may be painless. It could be simpler.
It might be less complicated. But it is going to actually be
extra boring. More colourless. More lifeless. And an entire lot
extra empty.
When your heart is breaking, just like the muffled sound of a
distant gunshot. It would not physically pierce your skin or tear
you to pieces, however the sensation is physically present –
the paralysing discomfort of realizing that one thing you took
for granted is leaving for good.
Although it’s hard to just accept at first, that is truly a good
signal, having a broken heart. It means you may have
cherished one thing, you have loved something, you will have
tried for one thing, and you’ve got life educate you.
Life will try to break you down sometimes, nothing and
nobody can utterly protect you from this reality. Remaining
alone and hiding from the world won’t either, for limitless,
stagnant solitude can even break you with unhealthy nostalgia
and craving.
You have to stand back up and put your self out there once
more. Your heart is stronger than you realize. I’ve been there
and I’ve seen heartbreak through to the other side. It takes
time and persistence.
You will have moments where you sob on the floor in your
bedroom. Moments wear you tear up slightly but blink it away
because you’re in public. Moments where your outward
appearance looks calm and collected but your insides are
crumbling. Every day you will feel differently and react
differently than the day before. Don’t try to plan it out. Don’t
try to understand it. Just let yourself be, let yourself feel, and
let yourself heal.
Deep heartbreak is kind of like being lost in the woods –
every direction leads to nowhere at first. When you are
standing in a forest of darkness, you cannot see any light that
could ever lead you home. But if you wait for the sun to rise
again, and listen when someone assures you that they
themselves have stood in that same dark place, and have
since moved forward with their life, often-times this will bring
the hope that’s needed.
It’s so hard to give you advice when you’ve got a broken
heart, but some words can heal, and give you hope. You are
stronger than you know!

10 Uplifting Things To Remember When Your
Heart is Breaking!

1. The person you loved in the past, who treated you like dirt
repeatedly, has nothing intellectually or spiritually to offer
you in the present moment, but more headaches and
heartache. You can mull it over and obsess and obsess
about how things turned out – what you did wrong or
should have done differently – but there’s no point. It will
NOT change anything right now!

2. Some chapters in our lives have to close without closure.
There’s no point in losing yourself by trying to hold on to
what’s not meant to stay. Someday you’re going look back
on this time in your life as such an important time of
grieving and growing. You will see that you were in
mourning and your heart was breaking, but your life was
changing.

3. Life and God both have greater plans for you that don’t
involve crying at night or believing that you’re broken. It’s
always better to be alone than to be in bad company. And
when you do decide to give someone a chance, do so
because you’re truly better off with this person. Don’t do it
just for the sake of not being alone.

4. When someone rejects you it doesn’t mean you need to
also reject yourself or think of yourself as less worthy. It
doesn’t mean that nobody will ever want you any more.
Remember that there are billions of people in the world
and only ONE person has rejected you. And it only hurts
so bad right now because, to you, that one person’s
opinion represented the opinion of the whole world. But
that’s not the truth. Sometimes it takes a broken heart to
shake you awake and help you see that you are worth so
much more than you were settling for.

5. When you lose someone or something, don’t think of it as
a loss, but as a gift that lightens your load so you can
better travel the path meant for you. Anything that hurts
you today only makes you stronger in the end.

6. When all is said and done, grief is the price you pay for
love. And it’s better to have loved, lost and learned, than
to have never loved at all. A broken heart is just the
growing pains necessary so that you can love more
completely when the real thing comes along.

7. You don’t have to have been in a relationship to be
heartbroken. Your love isn’t invalid if it was not
reciprocated. Your pain is just as real, just as strong, just
as true. But at some point, in order to live and have
experiences and open your heart up to new love, you have
to acknowledge that the person you love does not feel the
same way. It will suck. But with enough time, and with the
right person who reciprocates your feelings, you will start
to view that heartache as less of a shattered piece of
glass and more of a fuzzy image that you can no longer
make out as clearly.

8. Love and pain go hand in hand. You cannot have one
without the other. Either the love ends and you experience
deep pain, or the love continues and you experience the
lifelong pain of constant fear and worry over what you
would do if you ever lost them. You therefore have the
choice to view yourself as a prisoner of love, or as
someone who was or is lucky enough to feel so much for
one person that it actually hurts. The more hurt and
suffering that you experience, the more you will treat your
next love with as much gentleness and care and respect
and tenderness that you can give.

9. You don’t have to destroy the memories of the person
who broke your heart. You don’t have to erase them from
your life and pretend that they do not exist. In fact, you
don’t want to do any of that, or else all this pain will have
been for nothing. Just embrace the fact that you are going
to hurt for a while, that you loved someone courageously
and it did not work out, that you cannot regret anything or
question anything because all you did was love and
there’s nothing wrong with that. Learn from this
experience, let your heart get even larger than it was
before, and never let your heartache take you. Take your
heartache, because you are more powerful than you think.

10. Your mind and your heart are different. Your heart will not
simply stop loving someone just because your mind tells it
to. Embrace both your heart and your mind for the
powerful things that they are, but don’t try to make one do
the job of the other. Let your heart decide when it’s ready
to be whole again, and let your mind guide you in the
process.

Afterthought -
You are human and the human heart breaks sometimes. Don’t
fight it – fight through it!
Give yourself a chance to love again, to feel again, and to live
again.
You are alive and here to risk your heart by putting it into
something you believe in, as many times as it takes. If you
avoid taking this chance, one thing is certain, you will make it
safely to the end, feeling empty and unfulfilled.
Don’t do that to yourself. You deserve better.

Practical ways to improve your productivity.

There are several ways in which to improve your day-to-day
productivity and ensure that you’re gaining the most from your
day’s work. Here are my top 5 ways to increase your
productivity.

1, Plan Your Day.
In my mind, it’s absolutely vital to plan your day above
anything else. My first task of the morning, after my morning
workout, is to plan my schedule for the day ahead. This can
be in hourly increments, or just a general list of tasks to
achieve — you just need something to keep you on track and
moving towards your ultimate goals.
As you begin to see the benefits of planning, you may find you
can plan your entire week on a Monday morning. This will
really help you to increase your productivity and get the
results you truly desire. Always remember to build in
contingencies though. Day-to-day life has its own ways of
creeping into your schedule.

2, Establish a Routine.
Having a routine is vital for anyone wanting to get the most
from their day, and so should it be for you. From setting a
time to get up in the morning to what time you should take
lunch, having a routine will truly help you to control your day
and how you spend it.
I for one wake up every day at 5:00 am, rain or shine, and I
ensure I’m always in bed by 10:00 pm at the latest. I know I
require 6-7 good hours of quality sleep to ensure I’m fresh the
next day. It doesn’t take long for your body to adjust to a new
routine, and the more you repeat the cycle, the easier it
becomes.

3, Prioritize.
Knowing which tasks require completing first really helps to
get your day off to a good start. I always believe in
swallowing the frog first. For those of you wondering what I
mean by this, don’t be alarmed! I don’t actually eat a frog —
what this means is to take the hardest, biggest, most difficult
task and do it first. Once this task is out of the way, all the
others will feel like a breeze. You may not have difficult tasks,
but you will definitely have some tasks that are more
important than others, and it’s key to tackle these first to
remain productive.

4, Take Breaks.
Believe it or not, taking breaks when required will actually
boost your productivity. We’ve all been there, staring at the
screen trying to think. I often find 5 minutes away from the
computer helps me to gain clarity and focus better when I
return. This could be taking a break to grab a cup of tea or
coffee, or having a 5-minute walk around the office. Anything
that takes your mind away from the confusion just long
enough to help you see what you’re missing.

5, Ensure a Healthy Mind and Body.
For some this is an obvious point, but for others it’s not so.
It’s absolutely vital to ensure that you keep a healthy mind
and body. This is obtained by eating a balanced diet,
exercising 3 times a week for at least 30 minutes each time,
and staying hydrated throughout the day. It’s also vital to
ensure you get good quality sleep at night and wake up rested
the following day. This ties in with point number 2 — keeping
fit and healthy will help you to remain focused and energized
throughout your entire day.

If you agree or disagree, or just feel like maybe I’ve missed
something in this list, please comment below and let me
know your top 5 ways in which you stay productive.
