“Always Protect Your Heart.” This was something that was told to me by my mother. And it’s something I have learned to take to heart. No pun intended. The heart is arguably the most important organ in your body. It’s something that you cannot survive without. It’s extremely strong but at the same time extremely fragile. It’s very fitting that the heart is the symbol for love. Evennn though the symbol looks nothing like an actual heart, but hey I digress.
It’s been awhile since I myself has touched on the topic of self love. But it’s very valid to this topic. Protecting your heart when it comes to love is very important. However very difficult. It’s a balancing act. You have to care about the other person but still have enough love and respect for yourself to not be walked over or taken for granted. You can’t be cold hearted but you can’t leave yourself too vulnerable.
“Always protect your heart.” In order to protect your heart you have to love yourself. You have to value yourself and your heart because if not then you will subconsciously entrust your heart to someone else. Instead of you protecting your heart you give it to someone else with their promise of protecting it and once someone has your heart they have you. They then have control. They can break your heart, crush your heart, squeeze your heart and leave you emotionally dead. Then you have to pick the pieces up and put them back together and start all over.
If you don’t value your heart enough to protect it. Then how can you expect someone else to do it? Sometimes it takes your heart being completely shattered before you learn how to take care of it. Often that’s the only way we ever learn. When we are young and we are new to love. We just have our hearts dangling. Ready to give it to anyone. We carry our hearts like a new smart phone without a case. Constantly dropping it with little regard. That’s why our first loves are always looked back as the strongest but also the most painful.
“Always Protect Your Heart.” How do you protect your heart? Well, how does one protect their actual heart. They keep toxic things from their heart. Like smoking and eating foods that are bad for you and improving their diet. They take care of themselves. They exercise, they meditate and they get away from things that gives them stress. So when it comes to your spiritual heart you do the same.
First you take care of yourself by first learning how to love yourself which I touched on in several articles. “Three Steps To Loving Yourself” and “Why Loving Yourself Is A Dangerous Weapon.” Then from there you keep all of the toxic people away from you. All the people that are bad for you. The people that want to use you and take your heart and cause it harm. You then replace them with positive people. People who value your heart as much as you do and will protect yours while your protecting theirs. That to me is true love.
In Conclusion
I was taught to always protect my heart. And even though in the past I haven’t always did that. Through my mistakes and through the heart breaks. I’ve realized how important it is to protect it at all times. The people that loves the hardest usually has the most fragile hearts. That’s why it’s important to never let it get into the wrong hands. Much love to you all! Like, Share and Subscribe if you love the content.
