For some people, the period leading to their breakup is the toughest. For others, it’s going through the actual breakup and dealing with the aftermath. For all of them though, it’s the getting back into the game that is often most difficult. Depending on why you broke up, it is often hard to trust again and jump back into the pursuit.
Suffering the emotional turmoil that breakups inevitably cause can leave all of us significantly scarred and scared to move forward and find love again. However, it’s important to move at your own pace, listen to yourself, and get over your breakup when you can. You can even learn how to heal and find love again at a relationship coaching retreat for singles by understanding yourself better and embracing positive change.
Is It Possible To Find Love After A Breakup?
A breakup’s nowhere near the end of the road, not by a long shot. No matter your age, needs and wants, fears and strengths, know this – love’s out there, waiting for you to find it. You can risk missing out on love if you shut down from resentment, depression, and fear.
While you may need some time to get over your breakup before looking for love, there are certain considerations to keep in mind:
- It’s not a good idea to jump into a new relationship too soon. Give yourself some time to heal and become truly ready to find love again.
- Get clarity on what your wants and needs are. Now that you have learned more about yourself, really spead time considering what your want and needs are. If you have attachment scars and wounds from past relationships – including your own family of origin – look at what is realistic to want and what you need to avoid more pain. Realistic expectations are key. This is where a relationship coach can be helpful.
- Don’t avoid your friends and family when you’re feeling down. Talking to them will help you feel better and help you believe you deserve your wants and needs. They can inspire you to soon be excited about finding love again.
- Stay away from past relationship reminders, as they can get you back into your negative state all too quickly and stop you from realizing new love is possible.
- Nurture your own mental health to prevent yourself from falling into a downward spiral of despair, thinking you won’t experience the joy of love again. Reaching out to a relationship coach may be helpful to start the recovery process.
