After a breakup, emotions are confusing to navigate.

One minute, you look back longingly at memory of closeness shared between you and your ex. The next minute, you remember arguments, being pushed away, feeling withdrawn.

There is no one way to heal your heart after a breakup. Like all wounds, your heart won’t heal overnight.

But, there are things you can do to help your heart heal so you can feel stronger than before.

It may not seem tangible now, but one of the best things about healing a broken heart is an opportunity to find yourself.

Here are some lessons to keep in mind so you can be stronger every day.

Things happen that you can’t control

Sometimes the best healing happens when we accept there are some things in life we cannot control.

You’re human. After a breakup, it’s normal to want to assign reasons to things. You start looking back at moments, overanalyzing them and trying to figure out why certain things happened.
