What You Can Do to Heal
1. Accept the truth, not the fantasy
Acknowledge how the relationship made you feel consistently—not just during the good days.
Write down the facts vs. feelings to gain clarity.
2. Let yourself grieve
Cry. Scream. Journal. Talk. Don’t suppress your emotions—feel them and release them.
3. Set energetic and physical boundaries
Unfollow, mute, or distance yourself. Constant reminders reopen wounds.
4. Forgive—for your peace
Not because they deserve it, but because you deserve peace.
5. Fill the space with purpose
Explore a hobby, start a new project, travel, or connect with others. Purpose is powerful.
6. Affirmations for Letting Go
> “I release what no longer serves my growth.”
“I deserve a love that nourishes my soul, not drains it.”
“Letting go is not giving up—it’s choosing me.”
