After a devastating breakup it can seem impossible to put the pieces of your life back together. After all, you lost your other half and the sense of loss can feel overwhelming at times. Acknowledging that moving forward will take time, patience and a lot of hard work can be helpful, but there’s also a time ask yourself: “Am I ready for a new relationship?”
This is how you know you’re ready:
You hardly think about your ex
If you can remember the good times with your ex and not want to burst out into tears of melancholy, then that’s a strong indication that you’re ready to move on. Your ex doesn’t occupy your mental and you’ve successfully been able to embrace your single self.
You want to share your successes
You’ve worked hard since your breakup to focus on your passions and accomplish personal goals. You’ve succeeded, and you know your path. This is fantastic! If you feel ready to share your passions and willing to feel the vulnerability, risk and excitement of a new relationship, then we say go for it.
You know what you want
When you know what you’re looking for then you will feel more strong and confident in your decision to pursue relationships with different individuals. You’ve learned valuable lessons about the mistakes you made in your previous relationship, and have forgiven yourself for the stupid arguments, lies or whatever else. You’ve also let go of your partner and the thought of them with another person doesn’t turn your stomach.
