Don’t Just Follow Your Heart
Remember: just because something feels good doesn’t necessarily mean it is good. Emotions are everything, kids!
As part of The Breakthrough Letter, every week I send out a short email with one idea, one suggestion, and one resource to help you break through your breakup and create a new possibility for love, either with your ex or someone new.
Here’s this week’s edition, sent on January 29, 2024.
Today’s Idea:
When in pain, while sometimes listening to your emotions is valuable, for the most part, it’ll only lead you toward dumb decisions.
Decisions like chasing after your ex even though they clearly want nothing to do with you. Suppressing your breakup pain by getting shitfaced at a children’s playground. Or getting a cheap hooker to suck you off just so you can feel loved again.
In other words, just because something feels good doesn’t necessarily mean it is good.
Today’s Suggestion:
For one week, commit to being more skeptical of yourself. Sure, listen to your emotions, but don’t take them too seriously nor immediately act out on them.
