Healing the Weight of Heartbreak


Heartbreak hit me like a ton of bricks. There was a rush of heavy emotions that flooded my body that I didn't know how to handle. After closing my eyes and searching for the answer from within, I decided to identify each emotion one by one.
Inadequacy/Insecurity
What is it about me that wasn't enough?
What did I do to make him walk away?
Why her and not me?
Maybe I am too boring or too fat? Perhaps it's because I don't have a fancy job or car? What do I need to change to make him want me again?
Jealousy
I wish I had whatever she has to make him desire me.
Why am I so bothered to see them together?
Rejection
Why wasn't I worth choosing?
Why doesn't he want me?
Anger
Why did he waste my time when he knew he didn't want me?
Regret
I wish I had never met him.
I knew I had to do something with these emotions. So I closed my eyes, relaxed my body, and slowly gathered all these emotions, releasing them from my body by exhaling. I repeated this method until it was gone or until I felt better.
