Meditate Your Way Through a Breakup
Six weeks and a few days ago, I broke up with my boyfriend of almost two years. I had been convincing myself for a long time that I was going to spend the rest of my life with this man, so the decision was very painful and difficult — though I followed through quickly and immediately once I was confronted with the inevitability of it.
Even if you know a breakup is coming, they’re never easy. Whether you’re the one doing the breaking up or the one being broken up with, it hurts and it’s hard. Some days are better than others, and some days are so bad that you wonder if the pain will ever subside or if you’ll even make it through the day.
There is something you can do to help ease the pain and get back on track to feeling whole, happy, and ready to move on. It’s not a cure, but it will help.
It’s free, simple, and can be done anywhere. You can meditate your way through a breakup.
