35 Broken Heart Quotes For Him To Get Out Of The Dark

For a lot of people, a breakup is a devastating experience to go through. Sometimes they see it coming but other times it took them totally by surprise, they didn't have a clue. It's always hard, no matter your age, or if you were together for a very short time or if you were together for years, you still feel pain and so much sadness.

Why do you think there are so many songs, poems, quotes, books about the end of a relationship. They talk about heartaches and broken hearts or about feeling betrayed or about how hard it is to move on. Did he break your heart by leaving you? You're having a hard time getting over the sadness of not being with him anymore and you can't see the light. What can you do?

The process of getting over him is a long one, the sadness and pain you're feeling are very real and the emotions are running high. You need to let them run their course, it's important that you mourn the end of your relationship. That's how you start to heal and eventually get better.

After you acknowledge your emotions and cry yourself out, you need to do things for yourself. Go be with your loved ones, spend time with your friends, with your family. They can be a great support system. It would also help you if you go to the gym (you need lots of doses of the good hormones), find yourself a new and exciting hobby, practice self-care, travel... and read some motivational quotes.

How can reading motivational quotes will help get over your sadness and your pain? They could work as mantras, and as obnoxious and cheesy as they may sound they work because they are a quick way to help your mind stay focus. Focus on what? On moving forward and that can keep you from spiraling down with all those anxious thoughts that you're bound to have after a breakup.

There are lots of motivational quotes out there that can help you find the right mantra to repeat whenever you find yourself drifting into a spiral of negative thoughts, especially when you have nothing else to focus on (at night when you're trying to fall asleep, or during a commute). Snap out of it and remember your mantra and repeat until your mind starts to focus again on more positive and moving onward thoughts.
