it takes a while but it does happen!! feel free to reach out for advice!

... Read moreGoing through a breakup can feel overwhelming, but it’s an essential part of personal growth. Embrace the emotions you’re feeling, even the tough ones. Allow yourself to cry or feel angry, as this is all part of the healing process. It's crucial to remember that healing involves a mix of acceptance and action. Reflect on the relationship and understand that if a person is meant to be in your life, they will actively choose to stay. Finding joy in simple things can also be transformative during this time. Engage in new hobbies to help distract yourself and foster new interests—consider painting, writing, or gardening, as these activities can offer therapeutic benefits. This newfound time is also an opportunity to discover who you are without the other person. Get comfortable with solitude, which can lead to self-discovery and empowerment. Additionally, transform your environment to inspire positivity. Surround yourself with beauty and focus on the good around you. Acknowledge that even in struggle, there is beauty to be found. The journey may be difficult, but every day brings you closer to healing. Embrace this journey, and remember: it's okay to seek support from friends or communities who understand what you’re going through.

How to finally move on from a breakup & start feeling like yourself again ❤️‍🩹
Moving on isn’t about waking up one day and feeling nothing. It’s about waking up and choosing yourself, even when the ache is still there. It’s the small decisions — deleting their number, saying no to the “what if” thoughts, filling the quiet moments with things that make you feel alive again

How to Journal Through Pain (Without Overthinking)
The hardest part isn’t knowing what to write… it’s letting yourself go there. Most people stop right before it gets real. They skim the surface, intellectualize it, or turn it into something neat and explainable. If you want this to actually help, stay a little longer than feels comfortable.

The first image displays the beginning of an article titled 'Moving On,' discussing the process of healing after a breakup. It covers the initial pain, learning to let go of past relationships, and the understanding that not everyone is meant to stay in your life forever, serving as a lesson.
Get over him.
Temporary pain/ permanent after a heartbreak is normal. But it hurts when the person didn’t understand how to deal with you. It’s sad how small misunderstanding can ruin your relationship. It’s even sadder however when they don’t tell you the truth from the beginning. If you feel like someone isn’t

How to Get Over Your Ex 🫶🏼🤍
One day I realized something. I wasn’t actually stuck on my ex. I was stuck on the version of me that existed before the heartbreak. The girl who laughed easier. The girl who had plans. The girl who wasn’t checking her phone every five minutes hoping for a text that wasn’t coming.

it can be difficult to see if you’re healing because we’re always with ourselves, and healing happens slowly. as a coach working with people who go through breakups, i’d say the best way to see your healing is through keeping a journal. you’ll be able to look back on old entries and see how far you
