Break Free from Overthinking: A Step-by-Step Guide to Move On from Your Ex



Are you stuck in a cycle of overthinking about your ex, unable to move on and find peace?


It's time to break free from the chains of the past and embrace a brighter future. As a breakup coach, I'm here to guide you through a step-by-step process to stop overthinking and start living your life to the fullest.


Step 1: Acknowledge Your Feelings

  • Recognise that it's normal to feel hurt, sad, or angry after a breakup.

  • Allow yourself to experience these emotions without judgment.

  • Journal about your feelings or talk to a trusted friend or therapist to process your emotions.


Step 2: Set Boundaries

  • Limit contact with your ex, especially if it triggers overthinking.

  • Unfollow or mute them on social media to avoid seeing updates about their life.

  • Establish boundaries for yourself and stick to them to protect your mental and emotional well-being.


Step 3: Focus on Self-Care

  • Prioritise self-care activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

  • Engage in hobbies, exercise, or mindfulness practices to reduce stress and anxiety.

  • Take care of your physical health by eating well, getting enough sleep, and staying hydrated.


Step 4: Challenge Negative Thoughts

  • Notice when you're overthinking or dwelling on negative thoughts about the breakup.

  • Challenge these thoughts by asking yourself if they're based on facts or assumptions.

  • Reframe negative thoughts into more balanced and realistic perspectives.


Step 5: Stay Present

  • Practice mindfulness techniques to stay grounded in the present moment.

  • Focus on what you can control in the here and now, rather than ruminating on the past or worrying about the future.

  • Engage fully in your daily activities and savour the small moments of joy and gratitude.


Step 6: Cultivate Gratitude

  • Shift your focus from what you've lost to what you still have in your life.

  • Practice gratitude by keeping a gratitude journal or expressing appreciation for the people and things that bring you happiness.

  • Cultivating gratitude can help you find perspective and foster a more positive outlook on life.


Step 7: Seek Support

  • Don't be afraid to lean on your support network for help and guidance.

  • Talk to friends, family members, or a therapist who can offer empathy, validation, and practical advice.

  • Remember that you're not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to see you thrive.
