Don’t Seek Closure From Your Ex, Do This Instead
Closure is achieved not externally from your ex but internally from yourself. Here’s a decent first step to take in order to find it for yourself.
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.
Today’s Idea:
Closure is achieved not externally but internally, by reevaluating your own feelings and thoughts about your dead relationship. So don’t bug your ex to explain why things didn’t work out or what you could’ve done differently.
Contrary to what most people believe, it won’t bring any peace. It’ll only chip away at your self-esteem and self-reliance. Not to mention, you’ll just annoy your ex and potentially cause needless arguments and drama.
Today’s Suggestion:
The next time you’re flirting with the idea of bugging your ex for closure, get away from your phone or any other means of communicating with them and reflect on your relationship internally.
