Break up Formula: Just because you are breaking up, doesn't mean you can't be happy

A lot of people claim to be unhappy because they just went through a break up. Now I have gone through my fair share of break ups, let me tell you, which is why I have come up with a break up formula to help deal with the separation. Before you start working through the five-step process of the formula, you have to know that the break up is a good thing, other wise you would not be broken up! So here we go…

Step 1: Acknowledge the break up - If you can’t acknowledge it you can not move forward.

Step 2: Accept the breakup - If you can not accept the fact that you have broken up, you can not move on.

Step 3: Identify lessons learned - People are pulled together for a reason, everyone has something to teach us. This would be a time where you sit down and take into account everything you learned from your experience with your former partner.

Step 4: Be grateful for the lessons you learned - Because of your experience with your former partner you have grown in ways that you would never have if it wasn’t for that person, so give gratitude for your growth.

Step 5: Let go - This is actually a physical exercise where you try to feel all of the hurt, anger, frustration, depression, and sadness in every cell in your body where you are all but consumed by it. Then place your hands over your head and take a deep breath. As you exhale, move your hands down your body like a French Coffee press. You are pressing all that you cultivated in the beginning into the ground.

I guarantee this process works! Ask me any questions if you feel stuck anywhere…

Good luck and remember - no one is responsible for your happiness except YOU!!!
