Get ready - this might be the episode that finally changes things with your breakup. Episodes mentioned: 163: MY recent breakup lessons Resources from this episode: Thought Catalog: Hate to Break It To You But There is No Such Thing as “The One.” Quotes from this episode: “Holding fast to ideas about how unfortunate our breakup is and how much we need or want our ex keep us holding on fast to the past.” “No relationships end because they are working so well and serving both people. It was imperative that this breakup happen so that you could both go on to happier lives and better relationships in the future.” “You already have everything that you need to be happy and whole right inside of you.” “The idea that there is “the one” or a “soulmate” for us is destructive. It leads people to make poor decisions and to stay in unhealthy relationships. It prevents people from being their own soulmates and investing in building a life that is rich with or without a partner.” “The more honest you can be with yourself and the more responsibility you can take over your healing the more success you will have.” Want to connect?

It is done with. It is not important to have the last word.” “Blaming yourself keeps you trapped. Learn to forgive yourself. Commit to moving on. Commit to learning from this experience rather than torturing yourself over it.” “Rumination causes us to identify with our thoughts. When we ruminate over painful words we start to think that they are true.” “Our thoughts are not our reality. They are just thoughts.” “Do you love yourself enough to set yourself free by releasing this person?” “Repeating words outloud causes us to identify with them more and more and more. The words that were spoken to you were negative and hurtful. Repeating them spreads that negativity. It gives fuel to them. It keeps them in your system rather than allowing them to start to leave your system.” Want to connect?

Get direct access to my calendar here to schedule a FREE consultation. It is also an opportunity to really make your breakup and your no-contact commitment STICK. This episode is about how to do it. I’ve got four tips to help you survive this tricky time. In this episode I talk about: -What to do about friends and family -What to do if your ex’s family reaches out to you -Gifts you meant to give to your ex -Dealing with memories of your ex -Avoiding pesky questions from family about your ex -AND MORE! Quotes from this episode: “Allow yourself the gift of not thinking too much about your ex. The holidays only come once a year. Let yourself enjoy it even if your heart is still healing.” “ Imagine how great it will feel to look back on this holiday season and remember not your ex but all of the things from this year that had nothing to do with them.” “When you put yourself first everything else falls into place.” “When we are trying to go no contact or really put our ex behind us it is about creating as much space with the person as we can. Talking with their parents is not creating more space, it is closing the gap.” “Don’t let your ex invade your phone by texting with them. Don’t let it be used as a source of temptation. Let the holidays be a time when you really make no-contact stick by not having one sliver of contact with this person.” Want to connect?
