Unrequited love is a strong and rather tragic experience. It is very difficult to cope with this feeling, but there are ways to lighten this burden, transform it into something else.
Psychologists believe that suppressing and denying their emotions is useless, they still find a way to get out. If you hide them from yourself, pretend that they are not, emotions begin to gradually destroy the psyche and body, have a negative impact on all areas of life. Therefore, you need to work with unrequited love, make efforts to resolve this unpleasant situation.
Express emotions
The most unexpected way to get rid of emotions is to be aware of it and "splash out". We can say that this method is the opposite of the suppression of emotions, but it is highly effective, although it requires a number of specific actions. Take a piece of paper and write on it in detail what exactly torments you, describe your emotions, do not be afraid to use "strong" wording. The more sincere and detailed the text is, the easier it will be for you to realize how much this feeling ruins your life. After that, you need to “shout out” your emotions. To do this, go to a deserted place, like a morning park or forest, a deserted beach or an abandoned building on the outskirts of the city. Gather your strength and admit your feelings and worries out loud. If you find it difficult to do it loudly, start with a whisper, and then try to talk about it louder, it is best to end up shouting a confession. This method gives temporary relief, every time when emotions overwhelm you and interfere with your life, resort to it.
Sublimation and visualization
The second method suggests taking advantage of your position. Unrequited love makes you perceive the world more strongly and sharply, which is conducive to creativity. Try writing novels or poetry, philosophizing, or playing music. Creativity helps to avoid frustration, dissatisfaction. If you engage in it persistently enough, you can transform your love, make it a source of inspiration, change the way you approach it.
The third method suggests engaging in awareness of your problem and visualization of getting rid of it. Imagine unrequited love as a splinter or a needle sticking into your heart. Imagine pulling it out with a suitable tool and throwing it into the water. Watch how the needle sinks and the splinter floats away from you. After that, imagine how the wound from her in your heart begins to heal. This exercise should be done several times a day for a week, every time you feel a fit of despair and falling in love. Very soon you will feel relieved, your emotions will dull, and your life will become easier.
