Going through a breakup can be a pretty painful process, and there are times when it is particularly rough. One of those times is around Valentine’s Day. If your significant other is feeling extra cruel and really wants to hurt you, breaking up on Valentine’s Day is the way to go. Seeing red hearts, flowers, chocolates, and loving couples everywhere will surely remind you of your broken heart at every turn. Sometimes timing just isn’t ideal, sometimes there's just no other way around it.
Guess what? Even though it may take time to get over your breakup, there’s no time like the present to start taking steps to focus on you and pick yourself up! Valentine’s Day is a terrible day to sit around moping, as awful as you may feel. So make last-minute plans with friends, get dressed up, and toast to new beginnings. There's always a time and place to celebrate friendship and forget about a breakup or a failed romance.
Now that the reality of your Valentine’s Day breakup is sinking in, you most likely feel miserable. It's okay to feel this way. It's natural. Your healing process will take time, but there are a few books to help you get to a better place. Christiane Northrup, M.D. just released Superhero of Love, the modern guide to healing our wounds from past hurt so we can love and be loved. Another book that comes highly recommended is You Can Heal Your Heart by Louise Hay and David Kessler.
