Do you need a little help and guidance to pull yourself together? You can do this with the help of Thomas McKnight's Love Tactics, and more. What Love Tactics can do for you is help you gain a better understanding of love. Mending Wounds When we are suffering from heartache, we are often at a loss as to what went wrong. There is a whole range of emotions that are presumably torturing you right now. You may be feeling, at times, angry and uncertain. Then you'll do a 360 and turn more sad than you thought a human has a right to. Get out and work through your heartbroken feelings. Actually, for some of us, getting out isn't an option, but be sure to listen to what your body needs. For instance, you may need to first take a weekend to yourself. So be it. Do this. Turn off the ringer on the phone, activate voice mail. Get yourself some comfort foods and comfortable clothes. Rent movies and just sort of hang out. Give yourself permission to throw a pity party. But remember, you'll have to pull yourself together after you 'whoop it up.' That's when you can start getting physical. It will be detrimental to your health. Moving around will release endorphins and all that good stuff that you need to have floating around in your bloodstream. This is critical to survival through the heartbroken process. And remember, a lot of others who've suffered through being broken hearted have ended up coming out of their aching heart stage looking incredible. All that time at the gym will eventually pay off. In fact, many females I've talked to who've been down and heartbroken have found their silver lining in all the weight they lost. As demented as this is, it's true; although we are not advocating for or promoting any type of unhealthy behavior -- we are merely attempting to find a shred of humor in the heartbroken condition. We are very sympathetic to you in the pain that goes along with a broken heart. You will come around. Ride the storm out. It's not forever. Surround yourself with good friends and family. You'll get there. Wed, 05 May 2004 14:01:35 EDT
