Post Breakup Tips to Reclaim Your Mind, Body and Soul
Relationships are taxing, but when you want to make the most of it, you give your all–mind, body and soul (heart). These three pieces comprise your whole and you offer them to your man lovingly. So when that love ends, it can leave those pieces of you lost and drowning in pain and sorrow. There are endless articles online focused on checking in and out of Heartbreak Hotel, but these next few tips focus on reclaiming your body and its strength, shedding vile and useless thoughts from your mind and restoring your heart with peace and love.
“This, to, Shall Pass.”
Take a page from an Oprah’s Book Club favorite, A New Earth, in which the author tells an ancient Sufi story of a king in distress from the never ending peaks of elation and depths of sorrow. On and on like a roller coaster, his life seemed to go.
The king summoned the help of a wise man, and was promptly told there weren’t enough riches in the world to pay for the kind of help he needed. So instead, the wise man offered his services as a gift, with the condition that the king swore to honor the solution. He put the treasure in an ornate jade box. Inside was a ring with the inscription, “This, too, will pass.” A reminder to the king that no matter how crappy things get–it is only ever a temporary state of being.
Think like the Queen that you are, and know that no rain lasts forever. When the pain of the breakup bubbles up in your bosom and tears are inevitable, you have license to close your eyes and recite the words, “this, to, shall pass.”
They give your mind free space, so that you can fill it with the knowledge necessary to move your heart forward, along your true path.
Kris Humphries Before and After: Did Kim Kardashian Kill His Appeal?
Kris Humpries used to look good. Damn good. Sure he is slightly bumbling, and doesn’t seem too bright, but at least he has his looks… Or at least he did. Because what you see above is what Kris USED to look like. Before he was used up and sucked dry by the Kardashian Klan reality television machine. Kris Humpries was a hot-as-hell baller when he met Kim Kardashian. Now he is an unemployed loser who was divorced by surprise. But worst of all might be the physical effect Kim Kardashian has had on the man. Not only has he lost his love and his potential job in their family (which he was probably betting on because of the NBA lockout) — he has also lost his super-charming boyish looks that gave him all his personal appeal in the first place. And it looks like it is because of Kim. Exhibit A…
