Stages Of Getting Over Mr. Wrong

Getting over a relationship that wasn't meant to be can be difficult. You might wake up one morning and feel that sick ache in your stomach hoping that when you check your phone you'll have an "I miss you text". There's a chance that can happen, but you shouldn't get your hopes up.

If you don't get that text, you might realize the relationship is officially over and time to move on. Even though you've had this realization, you wonder how you're going to get through the day much less get out of bed. Set 1-3 goals to accomplish a day to help get out of bed and get moving. Reward yourself for meeting those goals (whether that's making your bed, brushing your teeth, cleaning your room, going grocery shopping) and before you know it getting out of bed each day will start to get a little easier.

Then, you might start to feel some anger. You'll begin recalling countless conversations and arguments where you gave up something for the sake of the relationship. You're angry you wasted time on a person/relationship that wasn't successful. That feeling of anger is normal, but don't let it overcome you. Instead, remind yourself that every failed relationship is a lesson learned for future relationships.

Eventually, you'll reach the point where you're waking up in the morning and your first thought isn't about your ex, and instead it's that you are a badass who can conquer anything.

Getting over Mr. Wrong is a roller coaster ride. When we experience the loss of someone in your life it's difficult to get over. But when we deny and indulge ourselves in anger and sadness we only create more suffering for ourselves. The process of moving on is now dragged out. With that being said, it's important for our body, heart, and mind to feel the necessary feelings to get over the shock of it all.

Keep pushing forward.

You got this.
