From Breakups to Self-Worth

Let's be real—breakups suck. 💔 And to make matters worse, it always seems like the person who hurt you is out there living their best life, smiling for the ‘gram, while you’re just trying to figure out how to function without your morning cry sesh. But here’s the thing: is your ex really happier? Or is this just a story your mind keeps telling you?

The Stories We Tell Ourselves 🧠

Here's where things get juicy. Often, we get caught up in the "story" we tell ourselves: "He's happy, and I’m miserable." But guess what? Unless you're a mind reader, you don’t actually know how he’s feeling. What you’re seeing is just a highlight reel, and we all know those don’t tell the whole story. The real question you should be asking isn’t about his happiness but your own.

Why Does This Technique Work?

Once you start questioning the stories you tell yourself, you start to challenge those deep-rooted beliefs (the ones that whisper “you're not enough”). When we realize these beliefs aren't facts but simply old wounds flaring up, we get to rewrite the narrative. And that, my friend, is where the magic happens. 💫

What Can You Expect When You Start Doing This? 🌟

It’s a process. It’s not about flipping a switch and suddenly feeling like a rockstar (though I’d love that for you!). It’s about small shifts—catching yourself in the act of spiraling, pausing, and asking, “Wait, is this 100% true?” Spoiler: It’s usually not. 😉 Over time, this practice turns into a superpower. 💥 You’ll begin to feel lighter, less consumed by what they are doing, and more focused on you.

So, What’s the Point? 💡

The whole point of this concept is to stop reinforcing the old, painful stories and start focusing on what you need to feel good. It’s about turning your gaze inward and recognizing that your happiness is yours to create.

Benefits? Oh, there are plenty:

  • Less comparison (because who needs that negativity?)

  • More self-love (which, let's be honest, we could all use a little more of)

  • Freedom from the "why them, not me" trap 🙅‍♀️

  • The power to choose how you feel, instead of letting your ex (or anyone else) dictate it 💪

Ready to Rewrite Your Story?

It’s time to stop playing the comparison game and start focusing on YOU. 💖 The next time you catch yourself wondering why they’re happy and you’re not, ask yourself: is this true? Then, redirect that energy into doing something that lights you up! The real win here isn’t about whether your ex is thriving—it’s about you reclaiming your own happiness. ✨
