Love Is The Best Medicine To Heal Wounded Hearts
Love is the deepest, most intense and broadest feeling that we can feel in our daily life. It moves millions of people around the world. It helps us heal our emotional wounds and rebuild ourselves after we have been hurt.
Love does not necessarily and only be established within a couple, but it can have various manifestations: self-love, parental love, friendly love, etc. Feeling recognized and accepted by others helps us rebuild our hearts and feel supported after we have been hurt.
Strong self-esteem can help us pick ourselves up more easily when we are hurt and our hearts are affected. Self-love is a good remedy in those times of life when we see obstacles in our way, and to heal our hurt hearts. Taking care of ourselves rather than torturing ourselves is a good recipe for getting better when we feel betrayed by others.
When we talk about love, we are not only talking about romantic love, but also love as a whole. Love invites us to socialize and expands our ability to relate to others. Normally, this produces a feeling of pleasure and well-being towards others. It’s a powerful feeling that helps us build deep connections with the people we love.
Through love, one can develop empathy, tolerance and compassion in a pure state. It’s an emotion that makes us feel so comfortable that it looks like a drug, because when you run out of it, you usually want more. Love, according to neuroscience, is a psycho-physiological reaction produced by our body by secreting neurotransmitters in the brain, neurotransmitters such as oxytocin, vasopressin or dopamine.
These hormones help to develop feelings of pleasure, euphoria, satisfaction and fullness. At the brain level, specific areas are activated that help us bond, promoting social and emotional behaviors with those around us.
We have all been heartbroken at one time or another in our life, whether it is because of a companion hurting us, a friend of ours. the soul that disappoints us, etc. We then feel sad, as if we were empty, as if our heart was destroyed in a thousand pieces, and with it the backbone of our emotional balance.
Imagine that your best friend stops calling you because they’ve met someone and they don’t have time for you anymore. How will you feel? Surely betrayed, affected, without understanding the reason for his reaction. Despite the pain caused by disenchantment, we are able to rebuild our hearts, as is the phoenix rising from its ashes.
Our hearts are able to come out of adversity strengthened. This characteristic is called resilience, which is the ability we have to adapt in a positive way to the difficult circumstances we encounter. No matter how hard life hits us, we can also learn from and learn from what hurts us. We just need to see our history from another point of view.
Self-esteem is the foundation on which we begin to rebuild ourselves after a relationship important to us has ended. In this sense, the ability to accept ourselves with our faults and our qualities allows us to be more in love and understanding, both with ourselves and with others.
For example, imagine that you accept yourself as you are, that you feel comfortable in your body and with your interior. This will make it easier for you to cope with a breakup. It doesn’t take away the pain of loss, which we all experience when a person leaves or a situation ends. But at least you will have more strength to rebuild your hurt heart once you have gone through mourning.
Getting rid of what is no longer in our life is often difficult because we feel great sadness as well as great pain. These emotions can give us the mistaken impression that our hearts are going to stay broken forever. However, if we dare to take the step towards this pain, scars will remain, but our wounded hearts will be healed.
Don’t feel inferior if you feel the need for someone to reach out to you, because there is nothing more normal in the world. When we are in a grieving process, it is likely that we need to lean on those people we rely on the most. Talk to the people around you and let them support you. People who love you can help you recompose your story, so that you can definitely turn the page and write another.
You feel stronger when you are not carrying the pain alone and can share it with those people you trust. By expressing your wounds, you allow your heart to fill with scars of pride, the ones that say, “I went through a difficult situation and I managed to overcome it”. Sometimes it is possible, if it is difficult for you to get to this point, that you need the help of a psychologist to gain a new perspective in your life.
Ultimately, disenchantment and hurt hearts heal by loving yourself and surrounding yourself with the people who matter to us. Your heart will eventually rebuild itself, and therefore grow stronger. Accept your pain so that sadness can become an illusion again. You will need time, and even with time you will have to concede a new opportunity: to yourself and to others.
