Getting over an ex ...remember

If you really want to get over an ex-relationship, stop holding on to what you wish could have been, and remember how it really was. Fall out of love with past potential, and realize it wasn't right, and you are better off out of that relationship. If they could have done that or would have done that, they would be a different person...one who you have not met yet, but may meet in the future. ~Doe Zantamata

    Thank you for this! I really needed to hear this. I've been viewing my relationship with my ex thru rose colored glasses, and only remembering the good times. But the bad times far outweigh the good, and it's important for me to remember that too. Thank you for this site and for this quote. Both are helping me so much! Please keep up the good work :)

Self Worth

Recognize your own worth and you won't be drawn to those who don't see it.  -Doe Zantamata Always be aware of your feelings. They are the voice of your intuition…your inner truth.  A lot of times in relationships, people are very happy and excited to be in something new, and are very complimentary and notice all the good little things. Then after awhile, especially in those who are insecure, they lose that initial "niceness" and instead begin to get comfortable.  Eventually, some start to seem to notice only the little things they don't like or that bother them, and have forgotten all about the good little things.  This can happen subtly over time, so it's good to keep track of your inner feelings at all times. If you notice not feeling right, don't second guess yourself or talk yourself out of it. Reflect on that feeling and what it means to you.  There are some people who feel that once a person is "hooked," they do

 After a breakup, make sure to put your heart into intensive care. Give yourself time to heal. Focus on you, focus on good, focus on now. ~Doe Zantamata The Breakup By Doe Zantamata A breakup when all your heart was in it can be as difficult to get through as losing someone by death. For the first short while, just focus on anything good in your life, and take it day by day, or hour by hour if you have to. Find things in your life that you need to focus attention on, and that you really love doing. Creative things where your attention needs to be on them are good. Be with your feelings. Grieving can't be rushed. You're not weak for feeling pain, you're sensitive. Only sensitive people can be compassionate, and really help others, but they also feel pain a lot more strongly. Get detached...write a list of every quality you would want in a partner. Then go back to that list and honestly answer if this relationship gave you those things: 1. in the

One more try or enough is enough?

Decision: Get back together or break up forever? Take the pressure off of yourself with the following thought: There is no "wrong" action, just choices and consequences. If you go back and it turns out to be the wrong thing, you'll know for sure. If you do not go back, you may always wonder if you should have given it one more go, or you may feel peace and relief of not having the anxiety for the same thing to happen again that had happened so many times. There's a part in each that will be resolved in the outside world, and a part in each that needs to be and can only be resolved within you. If you feel hesitant, it could be intuition or at this point it could be self-protection/fear of not wanting to return to that which you know has the ability to cause you great pain. Wherever you go, go fully. If you decide to go back, do so with optimism and not with anxiety. If you do not go back, move forward in life with curiosity to the new and not with regrets
