A grieving process requires changing a lot of patterns in your life and working on self-reflection, as well as self-improvement.
I always say that’s the best side of the grief because you will not only completely meet yourself, but also learn how to live your life in a better way – step by step, day by day…
Today we are talking about detaching era, and here’s what I always recommend:
- Sometimes you have to step back – not step in trying to fix something. Especially if it is related to others – you have to understand that you don’t have to help everyone, just because no one helped you. Think about what truly requires your attention and energy, and what doesn’t. Discover more about how to set healthy boundaries with others.
- Observe, but don’t absorb. It is completely fine to observe what is going on around you, but try not to absorb everything. No, those usually aren’t your feelings and problems. Stay detached when needed.
- How do your relationships look like? Every good therapist will always tell you to say goodbye to all those relationships that work only when you abandon your true self. Learn how to surround yourself with emotionally safe and healthy people.
- Choose space. Always choose space and peace for those situations, places, and people where chaos used to live.
- Accept the patterns of others. You can protect your peace by letting other people have their own life patterns – you cannot change them, only accept them.
- You don’t have to engage in everything. Allow yourself to disengage when feeling like doing it.
- Distance is better than disfunction.
