We all suffer heartbreaks at some point of time in life because of various reasons. But for most people the most traumatic of all is the heartbreak after the end of a relationship. It is even worse to handle when it is accompanied by betrayal. It can be shattering and can place doubts on everything you ever believed in and can shatter your confidence.

It is important to accept that suffering is a part of life and no matter how big our grief is we all get over it sooner or later. But nursing a broken heart can be tricky as sometimes things get so worse that we start sinking into the abyss of depression and self destruction.

If your wounds are still very fresh, it would be difficult to stick to a regular routine but trying to stick to a routine would help you in one and many ways. Try to follow an Ayurvedic lifestyle with Ayurvedic eating habits and Yoga. They really help develop a state of balance which is paramount to happiness.

Instead of jumping on to another relationship, try concentrating your energy on spiritual practices. Make it a habit to meditate daily (for best results learn the techniques from an expert). Reading spiritual literature also helps a great deal as it provides some answers to existential questions like the meaning and purpose of life. They also help one find some logic and reasoning for accepting suffering and grief. Besides, burn incense oils and listen to soothing spiritual music like the Sunset Raga.

It is important to accept that people come and go. Some leave us with happy memories and some with important lessons in life. The break up of a romantic relationship can be especially tragic as it not just breaks one’s heart but also shatters one’s dreams and hopes. But all tragedies help us understand ourselves and the people around us better. Do not blame yourself for being the cause for the failure of your relationship. Keep faith that God will give you what is meant to be yours and what is really good for you.

Every single event in life has a purpose and so does suffering. Instead of writhing in self pity, it is best to pick up the pieces and deeply inculcate the lessons learned from every tragedy.

Most importantly, understand that no one is responsible for your happiness but you yourself. You need to take charge of your health and happiness. Make good health practices a way of life and you would find peace of mind and happiness.
