As part of my newsletter, The Breakthrough Letter, every week I send out a short email with one idea, one suggestion, and one resource to help you break through your breakup and create a new possibility for love, either with your ex or someone new.
Here’s this week’s edition. Enjoy.
Today’s Idea:
Healthy boundaries aren’t about gaining approval or trying to control how others respond to you. They’re about showing up authentically, taking responsibility for your own well-being, and asserting who you truly are.
When you create a boundary, it should always come from self-respect and self-care, and it should reflect your values, needs, and feelings.
Today’s Suggestion:
Take a moment to reflect on your boundaries. Identify one situation where you’ve hesitated to set a boundary or where you’ve done so to seek approval or avoid conflict.
Now, redefine that boundary with your needs and well-being in mind. Focus on expressing it clearly and confidently without expecting the other person to agree or validate your feelings. Communicate it for you, not for them.
Today’s Resource:
How To Rebuild (Or Build) Self-Esteem After A Breakup — a guide on practical, therapy-approved strategies for rebuilding self-esteem after a breakup. Because it’s strong self-esteem that allows you to assert sturdy boundaries with confidence, ensuring your well-being comes first and stays at an all-time high.
As always, feel free to reply to this email and let me know what you think. While I can’t respond to everyone, I do read everything.
Until next time,
Max Jancar
