How To Move On After A Breakup

Take back your power by moving forward.

We’ve ALL experienced a situation where we were on the giving end of feelings that weren’t being reciprocated.

These experiences vary. For some, it was the beginning levels of interest that were never returned, and the relationship never even got off the ground.

For others, it came after years and years together, when they or their partner fell out of love.

Accepting that someone doesn’t feel the same way as you is difficult, but giving yourself permission to let go and move forward is even harder.

I believe a lot of people avoid moving on or breaking up because they’re unwilling to admit that it’s over — or that it should be over.

“There’s still hope.”

“Maybe they’ll finally change.”

They’ll remember why they love me eventually.”

All the while, simply delaying the inevitable and causing even deeper heartbreak.

There’s power in facing reality and having the ability to take the first step. You’re taking control of where your emotional energy is directed, and it certainly shouldn’t be towards someone who doesn’t appreciate or reciprocate it.
