Affirmations for healing a broken heart


Positive Affirmations To Heal Your Broken Heart After A Breakup

Breakups can be devastating and can take a toll on your self-confidence and even your mental health. It’s really hard to manage all the emotions that come with a breakup because besides having to deal with all the conflict, drama, arguments, and toxicity, breakups are triggering. There are so many wounds that get poked and so many destructive intrusive thoughts that invade our minds.

If you are suffering from a broken heart, the world may seem like it’s crumbling around you, and you can (and you must) build yourself up. That’s what I am doing and inviting you to do. I have been dealing with so much pain and confusion and I’m using all the tools I have at my disposal to stay positive through the heartache.

One of the ways I am recovering from breakup and betrayal is by using positive affirmations. Positive Affirmations are phrases or declarations we say out loud on a daily basis and as many times as it feels right to train our thinking. Positive Affirmations can serve as little reminders that can help you go through the day with more ease and peace, and they also have the power to help rewire your brain to create a long-term positive change that can help you heal your broken heart after a breakup or divorce.

The intense grief you experience at the end of a relationship is real, but it is necessary to remember that your thoughts can help or hinder your ability to heal. It is harder to move forward after a breakup or betrayal when you forget yourself and your worth. The feeling of worthlessness has been creeping up on me more often than I’d even like to admit, but instead of shaming myself for my anxiety and self-defeating thoughts, I resolve to do something about it.

Positive Affirmations can help you get over a breakup because they help refocus your thinking. Thoughts and feelings of anger, hate, resentment, sadness, regret, self-blame, and will naturally come, so by choosing your thoughts wisely and deliberately, you are taking charge of your life, mastering your feelings, and slowly reframing this experience.

S-L-O-W-L-Y is such an important word here. I cannot tell you how many nights I haven’t been able to sleep and the days ran together like a giant ugly cry, feeling broken, ruined, unlovable, hopeless, and lost. Then I upgraded to crying myself to sleep, and though I’m better now, I have random crying spells and I start thinking thoughts that add suffering to my pain.

It’s perfectly normal for you to not fully believe the Positive Affirmations as you recite them at first. Heartbreaks crush you inside out, but in time, these positive mantras will be ingrained in your subconscious mind and move you from grief to peace. I can’t say I’m quite there yet, but I’ve used Positive Affirmations to heal and move on from excruciating pain before and I know they work and I can feel them working now!

The negative thoughts and negative self-talk won’t magically dissipate, but as you pay attention to your thinking and say these Positive Affirmations, you can find increased peace and acceptance to soothe your sorrow. 

Another benefit of incorporating Positive Affirmations into your daily routine is that you’re investing time and effort in your mental health and sanity, which sends a message to your subconscious mind that you are worth it, and that is the real truth.

I encourage you to tap into the healing power of Positive Affirmations to recover from a failed relationship, regain a positive self-image, and help repair the emotional damage the betrayal caused you. May they help you feel bold, fierce, and powerful again!

Positive Affirmations & Heartbreak

The terms positive affirmations and heartbreak don’t seem to go together very well. Experiencing heartbreak can be one of the most profoundly difficult experiences in a person’s life. And you can’t simply gloss over the depth of your feelings with some feel-good words, even if you wish you could. So I want to make it clear: using affirmations for heartbreak isn’t about suppressing the pain you feel.

In fact, the affirmations you use should be geared more toward allowing yourself to feel all of your emotions, the good and bad. They should also be focused on allowing yourself to take your time through your healing journey, not rushing anything, and giving yourself the space you need to heal at your own pace.

They should also include gentle reminders that you are worthy of deep and unconditional love, no matter what. This love doesn’t just come from outside of you. It begins within. Because you are worthy of your own time, care, and attention. You are worthy of loving yourself fully, in every season of your life. And you deserve to be loved, exactly as you are.

You are enough. You have always been enough. You will always be enough.

Below, you’ll find 40 gentle affirmations for heartbreak and healing. Some of these affirmations may serve you better during different parts of your healing journey, so choose the ones that resonate most in this moment. Let them serve your mind, body, and spirit.

And for some help on using affirmations, you can check out my post, How To Use Affirmations (So They Actually Work).

From the authors

We wrote this book to understand how we grieve and find healing after we endure various types of loss, such as separation, divorce, or death. Grief is not an easy test, but it is our thoughts that often add suffering to the already existing pain. We hope that this book will expand your consciousness, your thinking about loss, and you will be able to include love and understanding in them. Our intention is that you fully experience your grief, but do not drown in sorrow and suffering.

Grief is not a condition that should be treated, it is a natural part of life. The soul knows no losses; she knows that every story begins and every story ends, and yet love lives forever. We hope that the words you read in these pages will soothe and calm you on your path. However, no book can replace professional help if you need it. We sincerely wish you love and healing.

Louise and David

Foreword by David Kessler

Most of my life I have worked with grief and grief. I have been fortunate enough to write four books on the subject, two of them with the legendary Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, renowned psychiatrist and author of the terrific On Death and Dying. When I give lectures, I am often asked the question, “Can this kind of grief work be applied in the event of a divorce?” And even at parties, there will always be a person who will find me and ask: “Could you help me? I just got divorced and I know you know a lot about grief. "

It is always a reminder to me that the work I do applies not only to the end of life, but also to the end of relationships or marriages. The truth is that loss is loss and grief is grief, no matter what it is about or what caused it. I can't count the number of times I've heard people speak very harshly of themselves during the breakup or ending of a marriage, and often on such occasions I was reminded of my friend Louise Hay, author of the international bestseller You Can Heal Your Life, who often says: "Pay attention to what you think" .

* * *

During the launch of my latest book, Visions, Journeys and Rooms Full of People, I was invited to speak at a Hay House Publishing Company conference ( Hay House ). Although it is this publishing house, founded by Louise, that produces my books, I did not meet her for many years, but I really wanted to talk to her. We agreed to have lunch together right after my presentation.

A few minutes into my speech, I sensed that something was happening in the audience: people were looking at each other and whispering. I had no idea what it was, so I just kept talking. And then it dawned on me: Louise entered the room and sat down in an empty seat. Although she tried to remain unnoticed, she simply carries a certain energy force with her.

At dinner, she and I talked about mutual friends and news, and then she said:

– David, I've thought about it, and I want you to be with me when I die.

“This is a great honor for me,” I immediately replied.

As a specialist in death and mourning, it is not unusual for me to receive such requests. Most people would not want to die alone; they want to know that someone who understands what the end of life is will be there when they go. For example, famous actor Anthony Perkins asked me to be with him at the time of his death. Bestselling author Marianne Williamson asked me to be with her and her father when they left. And when my mentor Elisabeth Kübler-Ross took her last breath, I was with her.

And then I asked:

– What is going on? Is there something with your health that I don't know about?

“No,” she replied. – I am 82 years old, I am as healthy as possible, and I have lived a very full life. I just want to make sure that when my time comes, I will live a very complete death.

Such is Louise.

According to the schedule of the conference, the documentary “Open Doors” was to be shown there, which tells the story of her famous “Heyrides” , a weekly Wednesday meeting for people with AIDS and their loved ones that took place in the 1980s. It was there that my world and the world of Louise Hay first crossed paths. On the rare occasions when she missed a Wednesday evening, I filled in for her. And it was amazing!

Imagine about 350 people (mostly men, but some women) with AIDS. These were the early years of the epidemic, before various medicines became available. Basically, these people have faced catastrophic events in their lives. And here Louise sat among them and did not see anything catastrophic - only an opportunity to change lives. During these meetings, she brought healing energy into the room. And at the same time, she made it very clear that this was not a party for people who should be pitied - there was no place for those who felt like a victim. Rather, these meetings provided a chance to receive the deepest healing: the healing of the soul.

Memories came flooding back as I talked about those inspiring, magical evenings. Now, more than 25 years later, Louise and I sat together again, reflecting on those days and the profound impact they had on our lives. As the documentary began, after a short introduction, Louise took my hand and we walked down the aisle between the seats in the auditorium together. We planned to discuss everything, and then come back when the film was over and answer questions from the audience. Halfway to the exit, she stopped.

“Look,” Louise said. - There's Tom on the screen.

Tom was one of the first members of the Hayride club, who had already died a long time ago.

“Everyone is so young,” I remarked.

“Let's sit for a minute,” she whispered and dragged me to the last row.

We have watched the entire film. Then we got up, collected our thoughts, went on stage, and questions poured in: “What does weakness mean?”, “If thoughts can heal, then why do we take medicine?”, “Why do we die?”, “What is death?”

Every answer Louise gave shocked people with information about what the disease was. Then she nodded at me, interrupting my reverie, as if we were playing tennis and she was hitting the ball at me. The ten-minute Q&A session stretched out to 45 minutes and could possibly go on for several more hours. At the moment when I thought that the conversation was over, Louise announced loudly to the entire audience: “By the way, I agreed with David Kessler that he will be with me when I die.” The people applauded. What seemed to me a personal request, Louise now shared with the whole world. It was an example of her strength, honesty and openness.

That evening, Reid Tracy, CEO of Hay House Publishing, told me:

“Louise and I were talking about the two of you doing something together. You have a common history and you can offer people a lot of wisdom. We believe that you should write a book together.

I imagined Louise Hay sharing her healing discoveries regarding one of life's major challenges, whether it's the dying of a relationship (breakup or divorce), the death of a loved one, or the experience of many other losses (such as the loss of a beloved animal, or even the loss of work). Louise's wise words, "Pay attention to what you think," flew through my mind again. What if the two of us could write a book that combined her affirmations, her knowledge of how thinking can heal, and my years of experience helping others who are struggling with grief and loss?

I thought about how many people this book could help. I also thought about how interesting it would be to work closely with Louise on such an important topic. If it turns out that our joint work on this book will be as "seamless" as our session of questions and answers at this conference, plus our own discoveries over many years, and the opportunity to complement and complete each other's thoughts on various issues . .. [1]

So, our journey together began.

Introduction

A broken heart is also an open heart. Whatever the circumstances, when you love someone and your time together ends, you will naturally feel pain. The pain of losing a loved one is part of life, part of this journey, but it doesn't have to be accompanied by suffering. While it's natural to forget your power after the loss of a loved one, the truth is that after a breakup, divorce, or death, you still have the ability to create a new reality.

Let's be clear here: we invite you to change your mindset after a loss - not to avoid pain, but to overcome it. We offer you this way of thinking when you remember the person you loved with love, not with sadness or regret. Even after the most difficult breakup, after the darkest divorce and the most tragic death of , it is possible for to achieve this in time. This does not mean that you deny the pain or run away from it. Instead, you allow yourself to experience it, and then allow a new life to unfold before you—a life in which you experience deep love, not sadness.

And this is where the real work begins.

1. How to Help Yourself to Really Feel Your Feelings

If you are reading this book, you are most likely in pain—and we don’t want to take it from you. this is. But this time, perhaps you have a very important chance not only to heal your pain, but to start releasing it if you fully feel all your feelings. One of the main problems is that you are probably trying to push away or ignore your feelings. You think they are wrong, too weak or too strong. You have a lot of bottled up emotions, and anger is one of those emotions that are often repressed. However, in order to heal him, he must be released.

We're not just talking about death anger, but any moment you feel angry. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the well-known grief expert who identified the Five Stages of Grief, argued that we can feel anger, process it, and be done with it in a few minutes. She went on to say that any anger we experience for more than 15 minutes is old anger.

Of course, anger is just one of the emotions we have. When a relationship ends, when a divorce occurs, and even when death happens, we are overwhelmed with a lot of feelings. And to truly feel them is the first step to healing.

2. How to let old wounds rise to the surface to heal

Your loss will, among other things, open the way for your old wounds, and whether you like it or not, they will begin to rise to the surface. Some of them you will not be aware of. For example, when going through a breakup, you might think, "I knew he wasn't going to stay with me." During a divorce, you may be sure: “I don’t deserve love,” and when a loved one dies: “Something bad always happens to me.” These are the negative thoughts that hide under your current loss.

It will be very helpful to take advantage of a sad moment to reflect on the past and review past events with sensitivity. However, reliving them over and over again is a painful and unproductive process. This is what you tend to do when you go back in time with no intention of healing.

Where do these negative thoughts come from? The thing is that they originated in the past and were not then healed with love. Together with you, we will shed light on all these old wounds and negative thoughts and begin the healing process with love and compassion.

3. How to change distorted thinking about relationships, love and life in general

When you experience a loss of any kind, you apply your current way of thinking, which is often distorted. What do we mean? It happens when your beliefs are colored by childhood trauma and shaped by resentments from past relationships. Distorted thinking is often formed by your parents and other people in your life who did everything they could, but they just had distorted thinking from childhood too. And all this together formed that internal dialogue that you mentally conduct with yourself, again and again scrolling through some of your old thoughts in your head. And then you overlay that old mindset, that negative self-talk, on top of your new loss.

This is why people often treat themselves without love and sensitivity when they lose someone they loved so much. We blame ourselves, we have self-pity evenings, and we even think that we deserve the pain we are now experiencing. How to break this vicious circle? Read on to learn how important positive affirmations are and how powerful they are for distorted thinking.

The Power of Affirmations to Heal Pain

Affirmations are affirmations that reinforce positive or negative beliefs. We want to help you become aware of the negative affirmations you may be using and gently introduce new, positive ones into your life. When you think, you are constantly asserting something. Unfortunately, if your thinking is distorted, then you usually repeat negative affirmations.

We are going to lovingly offer positive affirmations for your grief and your life. These positive statements may not seem true at first when you use them. Let them into your life anyway. You may be afraid that we are trying to take your grief away from you or to diminish it in some way, but this is very far from the truth. Your grief is all yours, but positive affirmations can release your suffering and also heal some of your old wounds and negative thought patterns.


Your negative affirmations are not true, yet you willingly feel what they dictate to you. Many people, when they are in pain, unconsciously repeat negative affirmations in a way that is extremely cruel to themselves.

One of the main goals we hope to achieve in this book is to find a way to permanently change this repetitive negative thinking.

As you read the positive affirmations in this book, be sure to apply them to your own experiences. Apply them to your thought patterns—your beliefs, the way you see the world—and use them to get rid of your limited negative thinking. Some affirmations can bring to the surface your old wounds from the distant past to help you work through your current issues and ultimately heal completely through love.

Healing grief after divorce. Heal your heart!

Healing grief after divorce

When a divorce happens, they usually look for the reasons that caused it. Who did what to whom? But remember that these reasons are part of a shallow story. There is a much bigger story that is going on with your love, your life and your soul's journey.

Your goal is not to get rid of unhappiness, but to see happiness in your future and remove all barriers - things that do not benefit you - between you and your happiness.

You need to find a way to forgive your husband or wife. As hard as it is, that is what will give you ultimate freedom. When you hold evil, it is poison that you drink, hoping that the other person will die. If there is a third person involved in the divorce, do your best to forgive him (or her) too. Forgiving everyone involved can be an incredibly difficult task, but all you need to get started is your commitment.

I am determined to forgive.

In order to heal grief after a divorce, you must take responsibility for your life. If you want to be completely healed, to let that grief heal you, you cannot remain a victim. When something happened in your marriage or relationship that you perceived as wrong or bad, there was always a common denominator - you . You were present in every situation, so you must bear some of the responsibility for it. Even if you can't figure out what role you played in a particular situation, perhaps with a broader view of things you will find some truth in the idea that your soul has chosen many different kinds of experiences for you so that you can learn and grow.

Ultimately, you must give yourself the love you seek. This does not mean that we are suggesting that you become so overwhelmed with self-love that you never want or need a new relationship again. We hope that if you manage to find love within yourself, then in the next chapter of your life you will no longer be an empty container that needs to be filled. Instead, you will be a whole person, full of love, and you will be able to bring this love into any situation, give it to any person you meet.

Adversity is a time to mourn all that has been lost - broken dreams, hope for the family you thought you would always have. However, when you finally manage to accept the fact that what happened actually happened, you will find that adversity is also a time for renewal, rebuilding and reformation. Now you have the opportunity to re-create yourself. Who will you be after the divorce?

Don't leave a void in yourself that other people and your past will have to fill in defining who you are. Choose for yourself who you want to be.

You have a new chapter ahead of you, and you have the opportunity to start all over again. If you're thinking, "It's too late for me to start all over again," just know that it's just a thought, and a wrong one. Since you are still living on this planet, it is never too late to start over. Here is a great exercise to help you get started.

Exercise

Think of all the negative words that describe your state after divorce, for example, sad, hopeless, miserable, unloved, unwanted and so on. Write them down on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. Then perform a ritual that will truly help you get rid of those words forever. Be sure to do whatever feels right to you at that moment. You can pray over this envelope, or you may decide to burn it. The whole point is to let go of those words and know that they don't express the truth about who you are.

Then think of all the positive words that describe how you might feel and who you might be, and write them down. Remember: it is not at all necessary that they be true at the moment. It is only necessary that they seem correct to you and express what you would like to become. Here are some examples:

Amazing

Bold

Energetic

Attractive

Worthy

Passionate

Cardiac

Cheerful

Cute

Unusual

Of course, there are many, many other words you can use - choose what feels right to you. When you're done, make statements out of them by writing "I" before each word to really include yourself in what they mean. For example:

I am amazing.

I am brave.

I am energetic.

I am attractive.

I am worthy.

I am passionate.

I am cordial.

I am cheerful.

I'm cute.

I am unusual.

Copy these sentences and post them throughout your home. Absorb them, live in them! And remember the affirmation to help you stay on track when you think about your post-divorce life:

I focus on the positive possibilities of my future life.

You can treat divorce like any other stage in your life. You can call this event good or bad, it can be seen as a period of tragedy or growth. All marriages can be successful no matter how long they last. An ex-husband or ex-wife has no control over your future life. Only you can do this.

Your good will is born when you see the potential for happiness in your future. You can achieve this by letting go of the past with your ex; you will practice forgiveness; you will think first of all about children; and maybe for the first time in your life, put 9 first0154 yourself . If your thoughts about divorce are clouded by certain religious beliefs, this can be a great opportunity to find the good in your religion. Many people are brought up with beautiful religious concepts, but some people are brought up with beliefs that are harmful to them. Divorce can be the moment when you stop and really tune in to divine values, not dogma.

Divorce is the end, but it can also be the beginning of something new. And don't forget: where your attention is directed, it begins to grow. Do you want to live in the past, or are you willing to focus on the present and your limitless potential for love and happiness?
