Today I have a new approach to life when it comes to relationships.
I will not malice the people that have done me wrong.
I have forgiven my significant other for cheating on me and breaking my heart.
I think I have matured greatly in the last two years. Things that use to bother me are so insignificant now.
Why have I taken this new approach to life? The reason is life is too short to be wasting my time and energy worry about the bad things that people have done to me.
I have come to the realization that you cannot change people,you can only change yourself.
If people donot appreciate the good you have done for them it is their loss.Just move on you cannot force someone to love you.
I realize when I worry less my blood pressure is normal and I am not stress out.
How to mend a broken heart is to focus on taking care and improving yourself.Eat healthy, exercise and do your regular check ups.Your healing depends on you

. I mend my broken heart by dancing and swimming in deep sea. I'm a deep sea swimmer.
that's also okay swimming in the shallow pool.

Your attitudes are great, even though someone has broken your heart. I went through this in the 1970s, the pain has finally gone away and I'm free to love again:)

@askme123 Bruce was the center of my life for twelve years. For ten years, I thought my marriage was secure, but it wasn't. Were we fighting? Nope.

This is a hard lesson, to forgive him for cheating. Been there, done that. It truly does hurt terribly at the time. One of the hardest things ever sometimes is to forgive.
I try to not look back. As the saying goes and I say it often, don't look back, you're not going that way.
You are growing and learning, sometimes that hurts. But you do have a wonderful attitude, good for you.

it will hurt for a long time. People just can't turn their hearts on and off. But that's ok. Every day is a new chance to forget a little bit more.

You go girl!!! So proud of you. For me I use my studies, my job, my wonderful husband to be, my beloved daughter and my precious granddaughter. My time is so full I have no time to think of the hurts and rejection that were meted out. I just enjoy life and the beautiful lives God has surrounded me with. Kudos to you madam. You will be alright.

You have certainly grown wise my friend. Glad you are feeling better about things. Your title made me think it was going to be about that very sad song, How can you mend a broken heart,

Great attitude. Being mature is what it takes to understand the situation and make a sound decision.

If someone hurts you, don't get too close to someone like that. because people like that are toxic to you. Keep doing good with people like that, but only naturally. I'm afraid that if you continue to be nice to him, you will be taken advantage of. What you said is correct. It all depends on each individual. Have a nice day, be healthy always and don't forget to smile :))

Nice post - it doesn't mean you are condoning bad behaviour or allowing others to take advantage of you.
Forgiveness can benefit you by releasing the bitterness that can do more harm to the person who has already been hurt.
You might enjoy this article - gives some great suggestions on this very important topic.
It even has a section on How To Forgive, which I think is really helpful - never thought of a "how to' on this issue!
