Summary
The last thing I wanted to do after my ex broke up with me, taking the life I had envisioned with him and handing it over to his new girlfriend was to "surrender". In my mind "surrendering" meant to give up control. Again, the last thing I wanted to do was give up what little control I had left in that situation.
Little did I know that "surrendering" really meant taking back my control and allowing something bigger than me to create something better than I had ever imagined out of the life that felt so broken.
Today, learn how to take control through surrendering to your breakup journey in a way that feels natural and doable, no matter how terrible your breakup went.
What to expect:
- Learn what surrendering to your breakup journey means
- Understand the workings of surrender and how it will help you get over your ex
- Become a pro at surrendering to your breakup triggers
