Although going through a break up can be hard, there are actually perks to the new found freedom you are about to experience. The road to recovery may be tough, but there is a new world waiting for you on the other side.

One of the experiences is what I consider the healing process. This consists of different things. Some of this is shedding emotional baggage, some physical. Also, this can be transforming into a new person that never existed prior to your last relationship. There is a new you waiting to be revealed.  Emotional baggage will start to come off as time passes. Any hurts, wounds, and wrong doings begin to lose its power and grip. This is the natural process of healing. Like a bruise, it will look worse before it gets better. But once it heals, it is very unlikely you will bruise that same spot again.

You are wiser and more aware of that spot, not to hurt it twice.  Also, you may remember things about yourself that you forgot in your last relationship. Have you always loved painting, writing, etc ? This is a good opportunity to reconnect with your creative self.

Any emotion you feel, express it through an art you enjoy. Anger, sadness, regret can be channeled and made beautiful. Make space in your life to rediscover who you are and have always wanted to be. Right now is the time to express your vulnerabilities. The best work comes from a place of introspect, and it is very nurturing.

As well, reconnecting with your friends and family is helpful, but allow yourself some alone time to reflect on what you have learned from this last relationship. What aspects did you enjoy? What do you feel is best to leave behind and not bring into your next adventure? This is a time of rapid growth and can be very exciting!  So let yourself feel the healing process, experience it, and embrace it. There is nothing that time (and a few martinis) can’t heal.
