This Is How You Find Comfort In Solitude
Post-breakup solitude can actually be a good thing. Granted, you bend your perspective the right way. Here’s how.
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:
Most people fear solitude after a breakup. They get anxious and worked up about it. Some even obsessively retaliate against it. And as a result, they strain their mental health and curb their peace of mind. This is all fine and fair.
However, as unusual as it sounds, solitude can, in fact, be a good thing. A source of immense personal growth, to be specific. Granted, you bend your perspective the right way.
Today’s Suggestion:
Block out a few minutes and try reframing how you perceive solitude. It’s easier than it sounds.
Instead of viewing it as this dark time of being alone and helpless, try to see it as a chance to show yourself some compassion. Or as a way to enhance your self-reliance and independence.
