Heartbreak. It's one of the most painful experiences we can go through.

If you're in the midst of heartbreak right now, it may seem impossible to imagine a time when you'll move on, let alone find a healthy relationship again. But trust me, things will get better and you will be able to open yourself to love again.


In this article, I'll share some healing strategies you can start using right now to release the pain and get yourself on the path to attracting a relationship that aligns with who you are and what you truly deserve.

Take It One Day at a Time


It doesn't matter if your relationship lasted two months or two years, if you're in the midst of heartbreak, it's tough, and you may be wondering how you'll ever move forward. But the key is to take it one day at a time.


Allow yourself to heal at your own pace and give yourself permission to grieve.

In time you'll get to a place where you feel ready to move forward.


What else could be coming up


In my work as an intuitive, I focus a lot on energy healing, and I've noticed that when someone is going through an experience like heartbreak, a lot of other stuff comes to the surface.


You might find that as you're dealing with the pain from the breakup, memories and experiences from your past arise too.


You might notice you feel angry about the breakup, and other anger starts to arise, connected to other experiences you've had.


You may catch yourself saying "love isn't possible for me", "I'm just not good at relationships", and if you can sit with these beliefs and notice why they might be coming up, it can be a great opportunity to heal them.


Healing your heart starts with recognizing these beliefs. Once you can identify them, you can begin to shift them, which will help clear the energy around your past and open you up to a new and different future.


Release the Emotions


Another important step in healing your heart is emotional release. Anger, resentment, grief—these are all natural emotions that come up during a breakup, and they serve a purpose.


It's important to allow yourself to feel them and process them.


One way to release these emotions is by journaling or talking to someone you trust. Getting your feelings out in a healthy way helps prevent them from staying stuck in your energy field, which is important for moving on. If you're into somatic exercises, things like dancing, yoga, or even simply taking a walk outside can help you process these emotions and let them go.


Remember, these emotions don't just come from the current breakup. They can be tied to unresolved pain from other parts of your life. And this is an opportunity for you to heal on a much deeper level.


Open Your Heart (When You're Ready)


After heartbreak, it's easy to feel closed off and afraid of getting hurt again. But part of the healing process is opening up to new possibilities when you feel ready.


I'm not suggesting that you rush out and start dating immediately, in fact, it's really important to take the time you need to be single. To work through the experience you've been through.


So when you're ready, one technique I recommend is working on the heart space. When we've been hurt, it's common to close ourselves off energetically, but we want to make sure that we're not blocking love from coming into our lives in the future. Again, this is something you can approach at your own pace, but when you're ready, it's important to work on being open to new experiences and people, without the fear of being hurt again.


Let Go of Old Energetic Attachments


When you've been in a relationship with someone, there's often an energetic connection that lingers after the relationship ends. This is where a technique called cord-cutting comes in. Cord cutting is about releasing those energetic ties that you may still have with your ex. Reach out if you'd like support with this technique.


This is an essential step in healing, as it allows you to reclaim your energy and move forward with a clean slate.


Ground Yourself


Another important tool in healing your heart is grounding. When we're caught up in emotions and memories, it's easy to become disconnected from our bodies. Grounding practices, like walking outside, doing yoga, or even swimming in the ocean, can help you reconnect with yourself and bring you back to the present moment.


The key is to find what works for you. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something that helps you come back into your body, and the present moment.


Build Your Confidence and Self-Worth


Heartbreak can leave us feeling like we're not good enough or that love isn't meant for us. But it's essential to start building back your confidence and self-worth. The way to do this is by addressing any negative beliefs you have about yourself. If you're thinking, "I'll never meet anyone again," or "No one will ever love me,” these thoughts are not serving you and there's ways to shift that.


Start shifting those beliefs into more empowering ones, like "Love is possible for me" or "I am worthy of a healthy, loving relationship." Seek out examples of people in similar situations who have found love again—it's a great way to remind yourself that anything is possible.


Of course, if you're finding it hard to shift into this mindset, or notice that your past experiences have you not feeling great about relationships - a relationship reset can support you.


Moving Forward with Intention


Once you've done the healing work and feel ready, the next step is to move forward with intention. By this point, you've released a lot of the energy and have shifted your mindset. Now, it's time to get clear about what you want in a future relationship.


Think about what worked and what didn't in your past relationship(s). What do you value? What didn't align with your true self? This clarity will help you move forward with intention and ensure that you don't settle for a relationship that isn't right for you.



You can get support to heal your past, understand your dynamics in relationships, and help you with communication tools and ways to create healthy relationships. Book a dating reset session now.
