Hello my field daisies! In today’s podcast, Emily and I discuss healing after a breakup and why healing isn’t a linear process.
Truly, going through breakups is never easy, even if the split was amicable. This podcast is super deep for me and Emily. We dive deep into our recent breakups and how we have been doing on our healing journey.
My goal with this episode is to provide solace to those going through a relationship ending. You’re not alone 🙂
If you don’t have time to listen, here are is some advice we talked about in the podcast:
It’s better to cut contact.
This can be difficult if you work together, are in the same friend circle, or have a kid together, but as much as you can, avoid contact with your ex. You’ll only hurt yourself if you keep tabs. In this instance, ignorance is bliss.
Taking one step forward and two steps back is normal.
The life lesson of today’s episode is healing is not linear. There will be days you feel on top of the world, and you’ve made the right decision. On the other hand, there will be days when you feel like the loneliest person in the whole world. And that’s okay. Be easy on yourself
See the situation for what it is.
It’s really easy to romanticize the relationship and picture the ideal version of the person you dated. While it’s good to remember the happy moments, try to see the relationship at face value. There are reasons why you broke up.
Lean on your friends and loved ones.
When you’re in a relationship, your partner is such a big support system. It can feel out of place to start leaning on other people when you break up. But even if you drifted apart, your friends and loved ones are always there for you.
Use time to find yourself again.
Oftentimes, you lose yourself in a relationship. I don’t mean this in a negative way. It’s natural to want to do things both you and your partner enjoy, and neglect the things only you enjoy. Take some time to reflect on what you love and do those things. Do things that scare you and push you out of your comfort zone.
Forgive them and forgive yourself.
Everyone makes mistakes. See not only what they did wrong in the relationship, but also what you did wrong. Learn to forgive them and yourself. There’s no point in harboring resentment. It doesn’t do you or your ex any favors. You’re just hurting yourself by bottling up anger. Understand that we are all just trying to do our best.
Healing after a breakup is never easy.
Be kind to yourself and remember time heals all wounds.
Love y’all thanks for listening!
Hope you have a daisyish day!
