Are there things you purposely shy away from because everything reminds you of your ex? Do you think you would still like those things if the memories weren’t attached to them?
All the memories you have attached to things you have liked in the past can make it difficult to try to get back to somewhat normal life.
With my clients I try to force them to get back out there and try those things they gave up because their now ex didn’t like them or they enjoyed those things together so it is very painful to do them now.
What do you do when everything reminds your ex?
Do 4 things you used to love but haven’t done because of the break up. You haven’t gone here or done this because it would remind you of her.
Do you still like it once you’ve done it? Why or why not?
Challenge the uncomfortable feeling. Don’t give up what you like because there is a memory. Appreciate the memory, but begin creating new ones.
Make sure you notice how you feel after doing these things.
