Moving On after a Breakup

“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”

~ Anais Nin ~

Integrate head and heart to connect deeply to yourself. Gift yourself with the ability to understand your own emotions. Source your inner peace, balance and harmony. Become receptive and open to new possibilities. Maintain firm boundaries rooted in your experience and aligned with your personal values.

Surround yourself with those who reflect who you are. Allow anything that ceases to enrich your life to end.

Learn to objectively observe those around you. Interrogate yourself as you analyse and evaluate your response to others. What does my response to this person or situation say about me? Apply yourself and work through each lesson to deepen your connection to yourself.

Create space to allow newness into your life. Clear the clutter. Purge everything you no longer need or use. Detach from material possessions that carry negative energy from the past. Let go of anything that restricts your freedom or consumes your thoughts and energy. Renovate all parts of your life that need a revamp. Let go of the soul-sucking career, the codependent partner and the situations that no longer inspire you. Release anything that is not you.

Move towards what you value. Add habits, activities and people that match you energetically to your life. Boldly and bravely upgrade your mental narrative. Build your new foundation as you plant the seeds for your exciting, envisioned future. Focus on your inspired life purpose and never look back.

Arguments, frustrations and the shadow side of you will burn you out if you allow any negative intrusion from those who no longer belong in your life. Don’t allow drama back into your life. You are not a victim. Know where you struggle and ask for support from those who are firmly in your corner.

Find someone who is good for you. Find someone who has done the work on themselves and will encourage and allow your continued personal growth.

Groupthink will not lead you to where you need to be. Keep on evolving and improving yourself now that you have healed and started this new chapter of your story.

Commit to your future. Be disciplined and do the work. Know where you are heading and keep on moving in that direction. Handle life from moment to moment. Don’t allow fear or anxiety to stop you. Your self esteem is the measure of your capability, keep your head held high and allow your light to shine brightly.

“The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. “
