Heartbreak to Healing: Sadhguru's 5 Practical Tips for Coping After Cheating

New Delhi: When someone you love betrays your trust, it can feel like your world has collapsed. That pain isn’t just emotional, it can unsettle your sense of self. Many people swing between anger and self-blame in the aftermath. 

Spiritual teacher Sadhguru says this moment can also be a turning point, not just an ending.

Here are five practical tips he gives to help you cope and move forward.

Should you fight your feelings or accept them?

Sadhguru urges people not to resist what they feel after betrayal. He says accepting the reality of what happened is the first step to peace. Rejecting truth only deepens the hurt. Facing your emotions honestly helps you understand them instead of being overwhelmed by them.

Who holds your happiness?

A major point Sadhguru makes is that your joy shouldn't depend on someone else. If your happiness is tied to another person's behaviour, you stay fragile. He suggests focusing on your inner strength and self-awareness, this builds stability that outside events can't shake.

Is holding a grudge worth it?

Feeling bitter is human. But holding onto hate is like drinking poison and waiting for someone else to die, Sadhguru says. Letting go and forgiving isn't for the other person, it's about freeing your own mind from constant pain.

Does one relationship define your life?

After betrayal, many people feel like their world is over. Sadhguru reminds us that life is bigger than any one relationship. Whether it’s work, hobbies, fitness, meditation, or creativity, turning your energy toward meaningful pursuits helps you see life more broadly and heals wounds slowly.

Should you jump into another relationship right away?

It’s tempting to seek comfort in someone new. But Sadhguru says this is a chance to get to know yourself better. Being comfortable alone builds confidence and helps you make better choices in the future.

Why this matters?

Heartbreak is painful. But turning that pain into self-growth, instead of bitterness, can change how you live day to day. Sadhguru’s advice combines emotional honesty with personal responsibility, pushing you not just to survive a breakup, but to grow from it.
