Are you ready to date again?

Are you ready to date again?

By Miss Kes 

Was your heart broken in the past? Are you really ready for a new relationship? Are you healed from the wounds of your past?

Below are three steps for working on yourself and seeking clarity if you are still hung up on your past.

STEP ONE: Vent

Either you are going to journal it, scream it out or cry it out, but whatever you do, LET IT OUT. If you miss this step you will have problems moving on with your life. You will find yourself comparing your current partner with your ex. This is extremely unhealthy. Stop taking unwanted baggage with you into your new relationships.

STEP TWO: Meditate

You must have space in your life for meditation. This is critical because it is where you will find peace and also where you will see the mistakes you have made and ways to not repeat them. Mediation is so powerful, it can make you see the impossible as real. Allow this step to take you to a higher level in your life.  Find a place where noise is confined and the only thing you can hear is your heartbeat against nature. Sit, breathe, and say nothing; just listen. Do this for your own good. It will relax you and you will see life differently, guaranteed.

STEP THREE: Move on

 Whatever anyone has done to you that caused you hurt and grief and pain and regrets – let it go! Let it fly and let it go. After meditation simply get yourself a notepad or sheets of paper and write out everything, including the names of those who caused you hurt. After you have done this, read it and rip it to pieces. Gather the pieces and find a dumpster and let it go right there. Never look back.

To handle what is coming for your future, you must first handle your past.  If you do not handle your past, it will surely destroy your present and most definitely your future. Sit and meditate, let out your grief and hurt, let it fly, then move forward.
