The Beauty Of Boredom Post-Breakup

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:

There is value in boredom. It helps us to dissociate from our breakup pain, illuminates how we might be distracting ourselves from it, and supports our efforts to devise better, more effective ways of managing it.

So get comfortable with the feeling, for it might just aid your recovery.

Today’s Suggestion:

Give yourself a few minutes this week to be bored and unstimulated. Do it intentionally. Try to notice what thoughts and feelings come up.

Are you anxious about moving on without them? Are you frustrated by the memories that still linger? Are you angry about how things ended? Are you heartbroken over the future you once envisioned together? What are you feeling? What are you trying to avoid?

Think about it. Perhaps even journal about these things.

Today’s Resource:

The Social Media Detox — in an age where social media keeps us constantly stimulated, it’s easy to avoid the quiet moments that help us process a breakup. This concise and practical guide offers a solution to help you embrace stillness and move forward. Give it a read.

As always, feel free to reply to this email and let me know what you think. I’ll do my best to get back to you promptly.

Until next time,
Max Jancar
