Deep dives
Connecting with newfound peace after a breakup
When we go through a breakup, we tend to be consumed by the pain and loss we feel. However, it's important to also acknowledge the newfound sense of peace that comes with no longer being in that relationship. Reflecting on the aspects of the relationship that caused us pain helps to realize that we are no longer subjected to those sources of suffering. While it can be challenging to grasp this concept in the midst of heartbreak, recognizing the absence of the previous pain allows for a form of peace to emerge.
Unconscious experiences of suffering in a relationship
Even in relationships where the other person is generally good, if they have had doubts or were considering a breakup, we may have unconsciously experienced feelings of insecurity and unsafety. We may have sensed something was off without fully understanding why. When we are no longer in that situation that caused us to feel unsafe, we can start feeling peaceful again. It's crucial to acknowledge that while we may have cherished the relationship, the other person's experience of it could have been vastly different, and accepting that reality allows us to move forward.
Letting go of the idealized love story
When we deeply miss a relationship, we often hold onto an idealized version of the love story, focusing on the romance and passion that we believed existed. However, it is essential to confront the reality that if someone chose to end the relationship, their experience of it was different from ours. Letting go of this idealized version can be challenging, as it requires reevaluating the relationship through a new lens. Accepting that the love story we grieve did not exist in the way we imagined opens up space for new possibilities and allows us to begin the healing process.
Nothing leaves you feeling more alone than heartbreak. You feel lost, afraid, and sometimes you also feel deeply unworthy. The worst part is wondering if you’ll ever feel happy again. But there is a way to heal, and it starts with first understanding what the source of your pain actually is. In today’s new episode, I share a way you can rewire your brain . . . not to ignore your grief, but to see it with fresh eyes and start to mend your broken heart. ►► Access My Happiness After Heartbreak Series for FREE by Pre-Ordering Your Copy of Love Life Now. . . → http://www.HeartbreakSeries.com ►► Pre-Order My New Book, "Love Life" at → http://www.LoveLifeBook.com
