Had a great convo with my amazing therapist this morning and we were talking about how much of my journey was learning to reframe my pain to help me understand how it was the fuel for the fire of change and growth within me.
Something she said to me that hit super hard and made me kinda bubbly happy (ya I am easily pleased 😂) was that heart break is not the breaking of a heart to bleed out - it’s the breaking of the heart to let the love in!
It breaks, like the cracking of a nut shell, and then we feel and heal. It’s soo true. We let the pain in to feel it, the other emotions in to feel them too - good and the bad together get to come in and have their moment in the spotlight.
So heartbreaking experiences are actually your higher self’s way of opening your heart forcefully so you have no choice but to feel - but we have to choose to feel both love and pain - the opposite of pain is love in my mind. If we only focus on the pain we miss the love waiting for us.
We are back to the whole polarity thing. With one comes the other.
I have had a lot of heartbreaks repeatedly over lifetime - why? Cuz I couldn’t figure out how to let the love in! Lesson on repeat until we get it right?
Until now that is anyway hahahaha.
Now I let the love flow in and out freely. It’s magic. Pain too though - I just have a lot more space around me and emotions so they don’t consume me like they used to.
Learning to experience emotions without them becoming a part of my bodily existence has been a super hard thing to learn and I am just beginning to feel like I can control this.
Yet isn’t it exciting to think that if you are feeling heartbroken it’s actually because your higher self and source want to pour love into you?
That feels way better than thinking only pain comes with it! 🤔😁💯❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
