Other temporary aids might include compliments and extra "thank yous." Think of these as adding ointments or Icy Hot to a broken leg. They don't heal it from the inside, but they do ease the pain and make it more bearable as the real healing happens.
4. Put It Up at Night
Medical doctors often recommend putting a broken leg up at night. This helps the healing process and can be thought of as "draining the blood out of it." The same thing applies to broken relationships—you need to drain the blood out occasionally. Many a close friend and partner have wished a loved one would put a broken relationship out of mind. Stop picking at the wound. Think of it as allowing your subconscious to work on the problem while your conscious self gets some time off. Either way, put it up at night. It will heal better if you don't worry constantly.
