3 signs you’re getting over your ex

it can be really hard to see when we’re making progress when we’re knee deep in big emotions and life changes. healing doesn’t happen all at once overnight, but as time goes on and you do the work, you’ll eventually start noticing shifts that kind of surprise you. and while some of these may seem small, compared to where you were at before, I’d say they’re pretty huge!

... Read moreBreaking up can be an emotional journey, and understanding the signs of moving on is crucial for your healing process. One key sign is being able to hear about your ex or see their pictures without spiraling into distress. This shows emotional resilience and a significant shift in your emotional state. Another important indicator is caring less about your ex's approval and opinions. This reflects personal growth and a renewed focus on self-worth. Lastly, when you find yourself more excited about the future than dwelling on the past, it signifies a strong emotional recovery. These milestones not only highlight your journey of healing but also empower you to set new goals and aspirations. Embrace the changes, engage in self-care, and connect with a supportive community to enhance your healing journey.

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
