5 Steps to Moving on After A Break-Up

There is nothing more exciting than the feeling of being in love. But when things are not working out and the most viable solution is to break up,then the road to recovery can be long. Whether you have been in a long term relationship or a short term one; the fact is the relationship has went south and you need an immediate recover plan. Please remember it is not the end of the world, in fact, the universe is probably waiting to bring you the man or woman that will truly be good for you. I guess the term is true love, or maybe even soul mate; I don't know, but there is someone for everyone. Whatever stage of life you are going through, every love interest serves a purpose and with love timing is everything.

STEP 1. Come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over. There is no real reason to start or maintain an immediate friendship with an X, unless the relationship was more of a friendship in the first place. If that is the case, then the transition to a break up will be smoother.

STEP 2. Remember what life was like before you meet this person. What interest did you have? Haven't seen your friends in a while? Get out and get active. There is no reason to sit around and sulk forever. Shed a few tears, but then move on.

STEP 3. Fallng in or out of love requires the same kind of energy. You have to be positive and remain hopeful. What you welcome into your life, often initiates in the brain. Do not spend too much energy thinking about the past, its done.

STEP 4. Out with the old in with the new. Get a make over, change your diet, create a new and improved you. Make sure that if you ever cross the path of your X, you want to look like a million bucks!

STEP 5. Start dating, even if you dont want to. There is nothing more gratifying than hearing compliments or simply being appreciated by someone other then that significant other. If you don't feel like that kind of entetainment, then just get out. Take a moment to appreciate all that you may have missed while in the relationship. Start by admiring and adoring yourself. "I am beautiful". "I am worthy to be loved". "I rock!". Sometimes an ending is really a chance at a new beginning.

I hate it when I can't write. It is the pit of dispair. When I am distracted by everyday life and it pulls in a reality that drains me of all creative activity; I have to pull back and get on track and do what I truly love. I think it has been about 5 months or so, maybe longer, I don't know, but last night as I was taking a long hot bath, I promised myself that I would get on track; do what I am doing right now. I do not have a story line, or character to share, just this moment of moving in a new yet familiar direction. I am a writer. There have been so many beautiful things that have happened in my life. I won a significant amount of money in the lotto, I loved into a new home, I am making more money than I've ever made in my life, yet, there is still more to come. This wonderful change has pulled me away from what I do, testing me to see if I really love you. Will I leave you for monetary gain or just simply fade into the monotony of the american dream? Of course not. I am back to regain your trust and for you to allow me to shine like a new gold tooth. I love it when a plan unfolds in a more perfect manner than anticipated. The universe always knows best. Although, when going through transitions, experiencing growth, or when changes occur unexpectedly, the road can be bumpy. It can feel like you are actually shedding skin to the new you and it can be painful. But once the sun shines again, you know it will be better than the last time. When the energy of a new moon is out just to gain your favour. You know that the time is near. I can feel it,so I embrace it, for it is you that has been training me, preparing me for what's to come. I've learned to enjoy wherever I am in life, every moment, every tear, every trial,every victory, it all gets welcomed and embraced. I am very thankful and grateful for my life. So as I gather my thoughts, and prepare my vibe. Be prepared to receive some of the most reviting, funny and educational post. I plan to be more open and share with things that are important , without losing touch with my favorite topics "Relationships and Men". This is my life on paper. L
