Your heartbeat is the indication that life goes on after victory and defeat. No matter how happy you are when things go your way, you cannot celebrate too long. Take some time to enjoy the win, but continue to work toward maintaining your current level and moving on to the next one. Look at defeat as a pause, not a stop. When you don't get what you want, acknowledge the disappointment and decide what's next for you.
Heartbreak happens to everyone at some point. It is a natural result of caring about people and things. When your heart breaks, there are ways to repair it. Helping others often makes you feel better because your focus is outward on what you can do rather than inward on what you don't have. Hearts are also mended when they are exposed to new ideas and possibilities. Stimulating your mind also recharges your heart.
Heartburn causes you discomfort, but you can prevent it or treat it. Identify the foods that cause it and don't eat them. That is discipline. It will benefit you in all areas of life. When you know what/who is not good or does not work for you, do your best to avoid it. On those occasions when you do come in contact with harmful things or people, limit your exposure and neutralize the effects as soon as possible. For physical heartburn, the treatment probably involves antacids. For emotional heartburn (people irritating you), meditation, positive reading material, or a spa day might make you feel better. Remember, discomfort is a temporary state. Your comfort is restored when you discontinue the cause of the problem.
