BREAKUP / DIVORCE / LOSS…
What makes IT so hard?
You roll out of bed with a knot in your gut. Your thoughts are plagued with your past, and nothing you do seems to shake it. It’s been a long time since you’ve felt clarity and relief.
As a man in today’s world, you have learned to always endure and come out on top, but with this power comes expectation. Despite your natural ability to rise to the occasion, you are tired of the bullshit of always having to measure up: can’t show weakness, can’t have emotions, can’t ask for help… the pressure of being a man in American society.
What is going on? Why is this so hard?
the pain is physical
the pain is physical
HELP YOUR BODY FIGHT SMARTER.
It’s true. Your brain interprets this pain physically, the same as it would a stab wound. Heartache actually hurts. That, combined with a complete life change, and you get hardship rarely paralleled. It is enough to bring the best of us to our knees.
your reactions are normal
It’s may not comfortable, but the fact that you are affected by the end of this relationship or loss means that you put care and hard work into the relationship, and that it mattered to you. It makes sense.
Your ability to care with emotional response is a healthy and powerful part of masculinity and of being human.
your body is fighting for you
While your strength is evidenced in generations of men before you, it may not be accessible. Your body is using survival tactics, even if they’re not quite working how you’d like.
Your instincts for survival and your emotional response can be fine tuned by adding new skills and strategies. Like most things, these are learned.
Help your body fight smarter.
THE TRUTH
No matter how you are doing, remember this:
This is a turning point.
You do not have to feel like this forever.
You can transform your pain into progress.
