3 Ways to Let Go and Move On From Heartache

"Sadness is like baggage. You can carry it around forever or you can put it down and move on." -Anonymous

There are a lot of things you can do to move on from heartache but while in the midst of emotional turmoil sometimes you just can't think straight. Your heartache becomes a veil that clouds your judgment and blinds you from taking the right steps.

When going through the end of a relationship there are certain things that will help you move on sooner rather than later. And unfortunately, we often do what makes us hold on to hope and move on later instead.

Here are 3 ways to let go and move on from heartache. I have found that when common sense is nowhere to be found you need to reach out for guidance to help you see your way through the pain.

Acceptance is the first step in letting go of the past. When you finally let go of all of the wishing, hoping and praying that things will be different and accept the reality of your situation is when you will begin to pick up the pieces.

The opposite of accepting what is, is resisting it. And what you resist persists which causes you to suffer. Holding on to the past causes you to expend so much negative energy that can be converted into healing energy when you find acceptance.

Forgiveness is one of the toughest things to do, but at the same time when you find forgiveness it is the most freeing thing you can do. Forgive the other person and yourself for your perceived or real notions of what they or you have done wrong.

We all make mistakes in life but the bigger mistake is holding onto the fact that a mistake was made. Holding onto mistakes turns them into regrets and regrets are a complete waste of time. When you allow yourself to find forgiveness for the wrongs committed; it is a gift you give yourself.

Believe in a better future. Where you go from here will unfold in time. But what will get you to a brighter future sooner is when you believe life will go on and it will be a good life. Whether you believe your life will be good again or if you believe it will only be bad, is a choice.

Instead understand that sometimes life throws us painful adversities to deal with, but know that you have the power and strength within you to pick up the pieces and move on to a better place. When you begin to believe it you will see it.

These are a few of the things that will help you climb out of the emotional well you have sunk down into. We all make choices in life and all of our choices come with consequences. The consequence of holding onto the past is that it prolongs your pain until you choose to let go.

By accepting, forgiving and believing in a better future; these 3 actions will help you heal your broken heart and move on down the path along your journey called life. Adversity knocks on everyone's door and only you can decide how long you will invite it in or tell it it's time to leave.
