A BROKEN MIND

What is a broken heart?
By: Shanteeca Reid

When it comes to love and relationship the one thing that people fear most is a broken heart, what is a broken heart? How do you get over it? A broken heart is basically when you are disappointed or hurt to the point where that line between love and hate is at its thinnest. When a heart breaks the emotions inside are scattered and vulnerable; trying to find shelter and regroup on either side of that line. At this point we normally employ the questions ‘why? And what if?’ The mind storms as you try to figure out how you could have given someone the power to break your heart. It’s believed that hating someone you once loved is very easy, after all, the two emotions are very close and comer from the same energy where you really care about someone or something.       

Seen as the body was built to fight and develop immunity it reacts with tears that try to wash away the emotional pain and toxic stress levels in the body. The skeptic mind searches for shelter for those scattered emotions and the rest of the body tries to cope in the meantime. The individual experiencing this is at this state very fragile, insecure question their personal value; feeling deep inferiority to whoever broke their heart. The mind that is still in pain is the practically the victim in this situation as it wasn’t your heart that was broken. Its your spirit that was crushed and your mind that’s broken as it limps to find sanity and comfort where ever it is available.  
        
Until the mind is occupied by an experience that is greater than the previous one will always think about the previous at every opportunity. However is that healing? According to students that study psychology “healing is gaining satisfaction or acceptance after a failed relationship”. so knowing this how do we heal? Is there a proper way to heal? Do any of us really heal or do we just find something or someone else to do? The best way to gain satisfaction some say is to face it head on; but what if we really don’t get our satisfaction at that point and you end up feeling worse about the whole situation, maybe acceptance is the new healing process. To add to this process it can be argued that with the preoccupation of a new found interest we finally accept the previous, and this, is regarded as healing, yes the ability to let go, accept and allow your mind to spiritually, emotionally and physically move on . Acceptance cannot be forced and are involuntary responses.
      
Once you find or achieve acceptance, the emotions are lifted from the gaudy night that once was and positivity fills the atmosphere with the opportunity of a new clean experience. This is when you know that your emotional heart that was once crushed and your broken mind at large is healed.
