Among all the different horoscope signs, Capricorns have a tough time letting go. They tend to wrap their minds around a particular issue and they just cannot seem to let go.
They seem to get stuck on a particular memory, a particular slight or injury, and they just go on and on and on.
In many cases, all other things in their lives seem to be going well, but they seem to be so stuck on one particularly negative issue that it ends up poisoning their enjoyment of life.
This should not be a surprise. Capricorn people are materialist signs. They tend to look at materialist issues and focus on those.
Nothing could be more materialist than having a broken heart or suffering a negative experience in the past.
You tend to get into a rut and you keep repeating that and replaying that in your mind over and over until you wear yourself out emotionally.
If you are sick and tired of this pattern, you then need to pay attention to the following strategies. If you suffered from a broken heart because of the wrong person, you need to follow the strategies below.
I am sorry to break this to you, but you are not the only person who has suffered emotional defeat in the past. You are not the only one to leave a relationship.
Anybody who has a capacity to love runs the risk of having his or her heart broken.
Heartbreak is just part of the rules for love. There cannot be love if there is no loss. There cannot be white if there is no black.
I hope you get the logic of all this.
You always run the risk of getting your heart stumped on, crushed and then pushed back into your face the moment you decide to open your heart and love somebody else.
That is what makes love so risky. However, that is also what makes love so awesome.
You can never get a full appreciation of the value of something unless you also appreciate how much it hurts to lose that thing.
Here are six strategies for healing a broken heart.
Take Time to Heal
You have to understand that a broken heart does not heal overnight.
When you suffer from a heartbreak, all aspects of your being are impacted. I am not just talking about you being emotionally hurt.
In fact, that is the most obvious dimension of heartbreak. There are less obvious dimensions.
Your spiritual component is impacted. Your physical processes are impacted.
You eat less or you may be eating more. Your self-image is hit.
There are many things that are impacted when you get emotionally worked up due to an emotional loss.
You need to give yourself the time and the space to heal. As the old saying goes, time heals all wounds.
As long as you stop thinking about your heartbreak and you simply lose yourself in the moment and enjoy each and every passing day of your life, then you will be able to heal your broken heart.
Give yourself the luxury of time. You will be surprised as to how much time you actually have if you permit yourself to take time.
Stop Replaying the Past
People who suffer from a broken heart actually did not suffer all that much from the actual loss.
Instead, they dig their emotional graves by replaying that sad memory and making it out to be bigger and more emotionally damaging than it actually was.
Think about it. The more you think back to and remember that traumatic event, the worse it gets. It is like having a wound that is starting to heal.
However, you start picking at the wound again and it is a fresh wound and it hurts again, and then it starts to heal again and then you pick it again.
Do you see the point? That is exactly what you are doing when you keep replaying that emotionally traumatic event in the past.
I know it hurts. I know you feel defeated. I know you feel discouraged and depressed, but you need to move on by looking towards the future.
Make no mistake about it. If you suffered a broken heart or if you are trying to get over a broken heart, your best days are ahead of you.
Look Back to What You Did Right
I know it is really hard to look past the haze of negative emotions if you are suffering from a heart break.
However, if you want to truly recover and you want to move on, you need to zero in on things that went right.
I do not care how bad your relationship was. I do not care how badly that guy betrayed or cheated on you.
There are certain elements that went well. Focus on those. Focus on those happy memories.
You are focusing not because you want to develop positive emotions towards the guy.
You are focusing on these bright moments because you want to establish a solid foundation for better relationships in the future.
You are obviously capable of doing things right. Focus on that capability.
Enjoy Your Singlehood
Now that you are single, this is actually a great time. This is a great moment in your life to explore new romantic opportunities.
It is a percent of your time to yourself. You might also want to volunteer and help other people.
In other words, this is a great time to focus on what you are interested in and are curious about.
This can be a tremendous opportunity for self-discovery.
Learn to Lose Yourself in the Moment
The key to happiness is to stop postponing your happiness. You have to stop defining your happiness as something that happens in the future.
You stop defining happiness as you getting some sort of product or a thing in the future.
Instead, you have to look at enjoying every passing moment.
This is an extremely important skill to develop because it does not just help you deal with heartbreaks.
It can help you with so much more. It can help you become a more content, fulfilled and happier person.
In other words, by mastering the art of losing yourself in the moment, you can live life to the fullest.
You have to remember that once that moment passes, that moment is gone for good. It is only a short time between now and the time they put you in a box that they drop into the ground.
Make the best use of your time by simply losing yourself in the moment.
Explore Your Emotional Side and Let it Flow More Often
In many cases, many Capricorns have a tough time dealing with their emotions. They either suppress it or deny it, or otherwise deal with it in unproductive ways.
Not surprisingly, this emotional mismanagement leads to them suffering from really extreme mood swings when it comes to negative emotions.
There is a reason why you are having a tough time getting over your heartbreak because your previous coping mechanisms simply cannot keep up.
They either make the hurt bigger than it actually is or your strategies make you numb until it builds up and blows up in your face.
You might want to skip all the emotional coping mechanisms that you have adopted in the past.
Instead, explore your emotional side. Look at your emotions straight in the eye. Stop being afraid of your emotions.
Feel them and understand their purity. The more comfortable you become with your emotional side, the less likely you will be to replay the past in your mind and make it worse than it actually was.
You get on the road to eventually being at peace with all aspects of your past and eventually moving on.
