Chance Or Choice
Tuesday, May 26, 2009
When we meet the right person to love, when we’re at the right place at the right time, that’s chance.When you meet someone you’re attracted to, that’s not a choice. That’s chance.Being caught up in a moment (and there are a lot of couples who get together because of this) is not a choice. That’s also a chance. The difference is what happens afterwards. When will you take that infatuation, that crush, that mind-blowing attraction to the next level? That’s when all sanity goes back, you sit down and contemplate whether you want to make this into a concrete relationship or just a fling. If you decide to love a person, even with his faults, that’s not a chance. That’s choice. When you choose to be with a person, no matter what, that’s choice. Even if you know there are many people out there who are more attractive, smarter, and richer than your mate, and yet, you decide to love your mate just the same, that’s choice. Infatuation, crushes, and attraction come to us by chance. But true love that lasts is truly a choice. A choice that we make. Regarding soulmates, there’s a beautiful movie quote that I believe is so true about this: “Fate brings you together, but it’s still up to you to make it happen. “I believe that soulmates do exist, that there is truly someone made for you. But it’s still up to you to make the choice if you’re going to do something about it or not. We may meet our soulmates by chance, but loving and staying with our soulmate is still a choice we have to make. We came to the world not by finding someone perfect to love, BUT to learn how to love an imperfect person perfectly.
Ultimate Solution for heartbroken
Monday, May 25, 2009Have you, at any point in your life, suffered a broken heart? Those waves of intense grief, emptiness, sadness, anger, confusion, heaviness and low self-esteem? Depending on the kind of person you are and the situation, break-ups can be traumatic enough to affect your emotional and physical health. They may say that no one ever died of a broken heart, but when you’re suffering from one, it sure doesn’t feel that way, at least initially. Most people will tell you that you’ll get over it or you’ll meet someone else, but it seems easier said than done. There are strategies that can lessen the pain.
Here are 20 steps that can help
1.) Be aware of your real intentions -Do you want to move past the break-up. Or do you harbour hopes of getting back with your ex? Define your emotional goal. You can’t move on until you’ve truly accepted that the relationship is over.
2.) Make a clean break -Don’t do the ‘on-again-off-again’ routine. It will only prolong the inevitable. Also, resist the urge to call your ex.How do you know if you are over your ex? That’s the million-dollar question. A good indication is when you no longer want to get back together with the person. Additionally, when the thought of your ex having a relationship with someone else doesn’t affect you. Although you might not necessarily be ‘happy’ for him/her, but if you have gotten over your ex, you won’t care either way.
3.) Don’t get self-destructive - Getting angry (or desperate), trying to hurt yourself or someone else, drinking or taking drugs to become numb and feel better, or locking yourself up in a dark room are not going to do anything to help your situation. These things don’t actually deal with the pain, they only mask it, which only prolongs the sadness.
4.) Share your feelings -It could be with a friend or family member. Talking is a great way to cleanse your soul and ease your tension.
5.) Cry it out -Getting some of those raw emotions out can be a big help, so it’s okay to cry as much as needed, irrespective of whether you are a a guy or a girl.
6.) Give your heart time to heal -It takes time for sadness to go away. This depends on what caused your heartbreak, how you deal with loss, and how quickly you tend to bounce back from things. Getting over a break-up can take a couple of days to many weeks — and sometimes even months.
7.) Keep yourself busy - This can be difficult when you’re coping with sadness and grief, but it really helps. Just make sure you busy yourself with positive activities like doing projects around the house, going on a trip, exercising, friend-time and focusing on studies or work. Don’t get self destructive and at all costs avoid excesses of any kind.
8.) Watch a movie -To distract yourself, choose a comedy that has cheered you up before. Or watch one that’s guaranteed to make you sob — you might be surprised how good that makes you feel.
9.) Take a holiday/vacation or weekend off -Visit an old friend or go back home to your roots. A change of environment does wonders for the spirit. It recharges your batteries. It also gives you some time to think and find closure in a different setting.
10.) Surround yourself with friends -Interacting with others will help you in resuming a normal life balance. It may open up opportunities for new friendships too. Consider dating other people, but be wary of rebound relationships.
11.) Remind yourself of your good qualities -Often people with broken hearts blame themselves for what happened. Getting your self-esteem back on track is the key to your recovery.
12.) Focus on yourself -You’re going through a tough time, so do the things that make you feel good again. Get a new hairstyle, have a spa day, dance, or go shopping. Get lots of sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise regularly to minimise stress and depression.
13.) Improve yourself -This is an opportunity to make a journey into self-discovery. Discover what you want from life and go after it.
14.) Get rid of the memories -Do your mourning and then put everything that reminds you of your ex in a box and seal it. Return it to them, throw it away, donate it to charity or ask a friend to hold on to it indefinitely. Get rid of anything that keeps you in the past, if it hurts.
15.) Learn from the break-up -Take the positives from it, and even more importantly, learn from the negatives. There’s nothing worse than dragging your negative habits along with you to future relationships, because you’ll just end up with the same result until you learn from your mistakes.
16.) Get out -Force yourself to go out even if you are feeling depressed. Go for a cup of coffee or a long walk.
17.) Move on -People who are dealing with a break up tend to play over past events in their head ad nauseum. This behaviour is normal in the early days of a break up but it can quickly become a dangerous and defeatist coping strategy. Remember that the end is just the beginning. Visualise your future, block out the past. Pick up the pieces and go after the kind of life and relationship you deserve.
18.) Don’t punish your next partner -Judge future relationships on their own merits. Don’t let paranoia from the past enter the present. If you live in the past too much, you aren’t ready to be in another relationship yet. Learn to trust again. Don’t let a bad experience keep you from living your life to the fullest.
19.) Consider getting professional help -Sometimes the sadness is so deep — or lasts so long — that one may need extra support. For a person who isn’t starting to feel better after a few weeks or who continues to feel depressed, talking to a psychologist or counsellor or psychiatrist can be very helpful.
20.) Take charge -Find the courage to pull yourself out of this rut. Take charge of yourself and you will find that there actually is life after ‘What’s-His-Name’ or ‘What’s-Her-Name’! You just need to make the decision so you can move on.
Take tiny steps each day and you will be amazed that you are starting to feel better. Lean on your friends and family, and remember, time will heal all wounds.
