Life is not perfect. There will be challenges along with times when something significant happens that sweeps us off our feet. That great thing can be the way that someone else treats us. It could be a new pair of diamond earrings or something that entertains us.
All these things are great; however, they’re all short-term. Long-term happiness takes place when we are our source of joy. Furthermore, we must know how to make ourselves happy. So if you’re going through a difficult time, for example, someone broke your heart.
Then, you should be the leader of your emotions and decide that you need to fix your broken heart. But, of course, no one can snap their finger then, problem solved. However, I am about to share how I used my emotional intelligence to fix my broken heart.
What is Emotional Intelligence?
If you’re not so sure what emotional intelligence is, it’s pretty simple.
“Emotional intelligence (otherwise known as emotional quotient or EQ) is the ability to understand, use, and manage your own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, overcome challenges and defuse conflict.”
You can control how you react to the events in your life. Of course, it will take some practice, but it’s achievable. Keep reading to discover how you can put your emotional intelligence to use. Be your source of happiness and fix your broken heart.
Make yourself happy with these five steps:
- NEVER FORGET WHO YOU ARE
A relationship can change you, especially if you spend a significant amount of time with the person. Ask yourself, “Is this break up for the best. What are my goals in life?”
I remember when I was heartbroken by someone that didn’t meet all of my standards. But, it turned out that I just liked the idea of a relationship with a sweet and handsome stud.
When it all died down, I felt so sad and missed meeting up. I missed parading around with my eye candy.
I cried for three days, meditated, and prayed for him to come back to me. Anyway, it was all a waste of time, and I’m happy I saw that within a week.
Therefore, it’s always important to look into yourself and find out if that relationship was really what you wanted or if you settled for it.
Never forget who you are and your standards because if the relationship doesn’t last, then it’s for a reason.
Don’t drop your standards because someone has one or two traits that you like. Know who you are and your goals, then choose a partner aligned with your vision.
“When one door closes, another one opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us.”
- IT’S OKAY TO CRY
On most occasions, when I feel sad, I prepare myself for a good cry. Then, I get some relatable music for the event and head to the shower. I believe that crying can help us to release the stress that we’ve been holding in. Also, it can influence acceptance and open our eyes to a great plan.
Just imagine crying in the shower to ‘believer’ by imagine dragons and singing, “Pain! You break me down. You build me up, believer! Believer!”
It’s okay to cry; there is no reason to be ashamed. On the contrary, crying can bring motivation and inspiration. Listen to some music that can help you smile through the tears.
If you don’t want anyone to hear you bawling your eyes out, get a speaker, then blast the music. A great waterproof speaker is the INSMY C12 IPX7 Waterproof Shower Bluetooth Speaker . Get it on amazon and blast it just about anywhere.
Also, keep in mind that you shouldn’t waste your tears. If you don’t feel like it’s worth crying for, find other ways to make yourself happy.
- PUT YOURSELF IN THE OTHER PERSON’S SHOES
Now on some occasions, the relationship went rotten on our end. Ask yourself, “Did I push him/her away. Where did I go wrong? Did I care for him/her? Did I choose this relationship for the wrong reasons?”
Whatever the situation may be, use your emotional intelligence to figure out the changes you need to make. Then, place yourself in the other person’s shoes, find out how you can improve all the relationships in your life.
I’ve met many people that struggle to keep long-term relationships. Many lack essential traits needed to maintain a long-term relationship. These traits include communication skills, being empathetic, honest, a great listener, loyal and loving.
- WORK TO BE A BETTER PERSON
Lastly, it’s essential to work to be a better person constantly. Be driven and love yourself so much that you work to be the best in everything you do.
Be your source of happiness, and do not wait on others to make you happy. Be courageous and take risks.
Be the leader of your emotions during tough times and react to situations so that you solve problems. Claim your happiness and be careful with who you bring into your life and avoid heartbreak. Have you ever been heartbroken? How did you get over it?
