A breakup can cloud your judgement and disrupt your life, making it difficult to get stuff done. If you’re in the middle of one, the School of Life offers some words of wisdom to cope with the feeling of rejection and loss.
The video sums up the most common emotions and behaviours we experience when going through a breakup, then breaks them down logically. For example:
Many of us are predisposed to think especially well of people who don’t want us. It feeds into our reserves of self-hatred. But this isn’t romanticism, it an illness. The true challenge is to stop being so revolted by people who do in fact want us and so admiring of those who don’t.
Much of this is blanket advice, so it won’t apply to every scenario, but the video does a good job of explaining some of the most common misguided emotions we experience during a breakup. The lessons here are simple, and possibly things you already know, but when you’re mourning the loss of a relationship, these lessons are important reminders. Check it out above or at the link below.
