Going through a break up can make you feel as though your entire world is falling apart. The person you planned to spend the rest of your life with is no longer being that "person." Breakups can be devastating. Understand that every person and place in your life has a time and space. What you may not currently understand will make sense one day. Continue reading to gain insight into your breakup that can help you grow not only in relationships with others, but most importantly with yourself.
Some relationships are not meant to be forever unfortunately. Sometimes couples grow apart so that better things can come together.
When you feel broken during a breakup period, know that it allows you to reevaluate what you want in life and do not want in life. Your next relationship will be much healthier and beneficial to your wellbeing.
Facing the not so good things about ourselves can change us into who we truly want to be.
Making decisions while in a broken place can make you feel like it is raining on your parade. But, know that decisions and change bring about growth and happiness.
I remember going through a specific break up and isolating from my friends. Luckily, I had friends who knew me better then I knew myself. They took me out of the house and got me back into the real world. Sometimes all you need are good friends, good wine, and good ice cream to cheer things up.
Sometimes the world can make you hard. Allowing yourself to be vulnerable helps to soften your heart.
This is one of the best pieces of advice I've received. After every break up, I always evaluate what worked and didn't work; so I know more and more what I am looking for in a relationship.
Have you ever been in a relationship with a person that brings so much negativity in your life? I dated a guy who was extremely condescending. Everything I did was wrong. It took some time for me to realize that I did not like the way he talked to me, but when I did, I was done. I deserve to be with someone who makes me smile.
We all have days where we need to have a good cry. Put on Adele and know that joy comes in the morning.
This was the hardest concept to grasp. Facing reality versus our expectation is the hardest. In your head, you were going to marry this guy, have a big house, and the 2.5 kids. Now, during the break up, it's gone. Don't give up hope. Have faith that you will find someone who can give you what you want.
I love this quote! If you didn't have heartbreak then maybe you would not know how to appreciate love.
I have thought this about my cheating boyfriends. Always know that it is not your fault and to never settle for less because you are a diamond. So move forward and shine bright.
Have you ever been in a relationship where you feel underappreciated? Know that you deserve what you want. Don't settle for chopped liver if you want the steak.
If you are constantly fighting with your ex, then it's time to let go and invite peace in.
Some break ups can be caused by miscommunication. Were there things you wanted to say but didn't know how. Take this break as a chance to find your voice; so you do not repeat this cycle.
You are what you attract in your life. If you are not happy with someone, then you need to find your happiness and the rest will follow.
Accept the fact that you will go through the stages of grief. Some days you will feel together and others you will feel like your world is falling apart. Know that this is perfectly normal. And one day, the sun will shine a bit brighter and you'll know it is time to move on.
Know when you are no longer being respected that it is time to walk away. Do not let anyone treat you less than you deserve.
Some relationships get a place where they can be toxic and you can become complacent with exposing yourself to such unhealthiness. Wake up and know that you have to take a stand for your own emotional wellbeing.
You know you have forgiven your ex when you are able to send them positive thoughts. It was an experience that taught you many valuable lessons.
Forgive the brokenness inside and healing will follow in suit.
I previously said to be thankful for the experience. There was a lesson you needed to learn.
And this saying can be vice-versa. If you have ever risked being in love, then you have risked being hurt. The pain stings, but the lesson lies deeper.
Marilyn was on point with this quote. If you see things around you crumbling, know that God has a better plan. So hold on tight.
Sometimes we spend so much time trying to make things work with a person who does not even care about you; we perhaps overlook the ones who really do care. Take an inventory of your relationships and let go what is weighing you down.
Be fearless. Never let fear get in the way of you getting what you desire.
While picking up broken pieces you can get cut and seriously hurt. Likewise, if you keep giving second and third chances. A person shows you who they really are the first time.
You are allowed to not like something an ex did, but do not hold onto anger in your heart; it will spill into your next relationship.
Being patient with yourself is a must. Studies show that it can take two to three years to completely get over an ex and move on. Take your time and allow your heart to heal.
Anytime I cry, I always feel so much better. Have a good cry and find the peace you need.
This literally has me laughing out loud. I went through a break up and cut and dyed my hair. Unfortunately, my hair was super short and turned orange instead of blonde. Lesson learned.
Know that the love you give will come back to you but it may be in a different form and from a different person.
I have never had a problem with forgiving, but forgetting does not always come naturally. Let it go or you will be stuck in the past.
The present moment is all you have. If your heart is breaking, let it break. If your heart is ready to move forward with a new person, then be open to love again.
I have seen so many friends stay in bad relationships because of the comfortability. Be brave and willing to let go and find someone who appreciates you for you.
Change never comes easy to anyone. I have been through so many changes in my life from moving across country to new relationships. But, if you make it through the bumpy patches, it is so worth what's on the other side. Your ex may be moving out of the way so you can make room for new people who are going to come into your life.
Let go of the old and embrace the new. You deserve to be with someone great.
Do not let heartbreak break you down so far that you lose who you truly are. Keep yourself first and a priority. The best is yet to come.
This is a very wise statement. Don't settle for someone who always argues with you or treats you less than you are worth. Choose peace every time.
As I stated before, allow yourself the time needed to get over an ex. The last thing you want to do is repeat the same mistakes and live the same relationship over with a different partner. Take time to heal. When it's time to move forward, you will feel it deep down in your soul.
Back when I was a counselor, I would ask my clients the difference between a healthy relationship and an unhealthy relationship. When you clearly define what healthy means to you, you start to evaluate all relationships around you. If you find you are not being treated the way you want to be, then evaluate how you treat yourself. You set the standard for everyone else.
I love the saying you must kiss a few frogs in order to kiss a prince. I think this is true. You have to go through a few relationships to find out who you are and then you will seek someone who has similar qualities.
We have no clue who she is referring to. Most believe she is talking about Justin Beiber. However, I am surprised that she has such wisdom for her age. And, I totally get where she is coming from. In relationships, if we are not careful, we can lose who we are. I remember giving up my Friday night Zumba class for a boyfriend because that was his one night off. I remember giving up going to college at one university and choosing another to be closer to my boyfriend. Set limits. Always do what you want to do and everything else will fall into place. Be true to yourself.
Break ups not only allow us to evaluate how we are treated in relationships, they allow us the opportunity to love ourselves on a deeper level.
Allow yourself to try your puzzle pieces elsewhere.
Always hold onto hope. Always believe there are rainbows at the end.
Forgive not only your ex, but also allow forgiveness upon yourself.
Open your heart every time and invite love to come in.
Going through breakups are never easy, but sometimes we go through things in life that give us invaluable lessons and introduce us to ourselves again. My hope is that anytime you are feeling gloomy during your breakup, you will pop open this list of quotes and it will not only make you feel better; it will lead you to introspective insights to help you learn to love again. Sometimes the things we need to love again is not just a new relationship, but ourselves.
