Experiencing a breakup can feel like a tornado of adverse, debilitating, and conflicting emotions. It can also feel like the tornado never ends its destructive twist. If you’ve never experienced a breakup, it’s common to feel completely devastated and wiped out. Some people recover after a month; and many others let the aftereffects linger for years. Whether it’s your first breakup, your tenth, or a record breaking number; breakups are never fun and rarely easy to handle. This 30 day mindfulness program will help you overcome the aftershocks of a breakup so that you can start living your best life in the present moment.
It doesn’t matter why the breakup occurred or who initiated it – breakups are consequential for both individuals. In this guide we define breakup as: the loss of an intimate connection between two individuals who were attached and dependent on each other to some extent and for some reason. That may seem like a broad definition, but it’s important to realize that the attachment in a relationship may not always be an intimate one; some people are dependent on significant others, partners, and spouses for non-intimate reasons, though they may believe their connection is entirely one of love. In fact, it’s normal for one person in a relationship to feel a stronger affection than the other; seldom do both people share the same level of fondness, and that scale can fluctuate for various reasons.
Even if you were the one with significantly less affection in the relationship, the breakup can still leave you with conflicting thoughts, emotions, and behaviors for a while. It’s hard to say what will result from a breakup: a rebound effect, loneliness, an unjustified anger, bitterness, complaining, criticizing, feelings of shame and guilt, self-pity, etc. Breakups can draw out the inmost insecurities, doubts, and emotions; so when such thoughts and feelings surface, it can be a shock. Let this mindfulness program guide you to a place of comfort, where you can drop the old attachment and start living in the present moment. Happiness is more than possible, it’s here and now. The exercises and lessons in this guide will help you discover it.
