It is painful to go through but focusing on the positive things that come from a relationship ending can be very helpful. It is my hope that these are comforting little thoughts to think on.
One of the positive things that come from a relationship ending is that happiness may be in sight for you again. A lot of times we deal with a lot of unhappiness and stress before a relationship ends. Knowing that those difficult days are behind you can help you to feel positive about the future. Things will begin to look bright again.
Another good thing that comes from a relationship ending is that it provides you with an opportunity to think about what you really want out of a relationship. Re-evaluation is something we should do after we go through a break up to see if there are any different traits we want to look for in the next person we meet. I took my time and did this very carefully when I went through a divorce. I approached what I wanted in my next relationship in a very analytical, practical way. It ended up being a huge benefit to my current relationship.
From everything that we go through in our lives, there are lessons that we can learn. This absolutely applies to a breakup. We can learn what we should have done differently. We may realize that we tolerated too much or were too impatient with the person we were with. Trying to find a lesson in a breakup can be a very positive experience.
