Break Up Advice

Going through a relationship break up can be a very scary experience even for “seasoned professionals” who have been through it all before. One question people what answered is “how long is the pain going to last?” Of course there is no definitive answer but one thing is definite; if you stand still and do nothing it is going to last a very long time.

Only by making decisions and acting on them are you likely to make progress away from the source of your pain. The difficulty in taking action is that human beings fear the unknown and as a result will often endure pain and distress much longer than is necessary. Their fear of the unknown is greater than the pain they experience in trying to cling onto their damaged relationship.

Often in life the right to do seems the opposite of what our logic tells us “surely if I do that then this will happen”. Not necessarily and in fact you will be very surprised at the results you achieve when you take brave decisions.

The Saying “Fortune Favours the Brave” comes from the Latin Phrase “Fortes Fortuna Adiuvat” which means that Fortuna, the Roman goddess of luck, is more likely to help people who take action. The saying has been around since the second century BC, 2200 years, and today is used by organisations such as the US Marine Corp and sports clubs throughout the world.

So the message to anyone suffering from a painful relationship break up is “get lady luck on your side”; make courageous decisions. Dis-empower your ex by deciding to move on.
