0:00Healing starts when you focus on the
0:02feeling, not the person.
0:04And you focus on how you can give
0:06yourself that feeling without that
0:09person. How you can create that emotion
0:12and that experience for yourself that
0:14you deserve without that person. That
0:17you can find that connection with
0:20yourself and others
0:22without that person.
0:24When you think
0:26that that person is more powerful than
0:28an experience or an emotion,
0:30you will never be able to let go. The
0:33number one health and wellness podcast.
0:36Jay Shetty. Jay Shetty. The one, the
0:38only, Jay Shetty.
0:42Hey everyone, welcome back to On
0:43Purpose. It's Jay Shetty, your host. If
0:46you haven't subscribed yet, please do.
0:48It will mean the world to me and make
0:50sure you never miss out on an upload. If
0:53you've recently gone through a breakup
0:55or you've been through a breakup maybe
0:57even a couple of years ago, but it's
0:59still affecting you, this video is for
1:02you. So many people I know right now
1:04have been dumped, broken up with,
1:07disconnected, and it's started to affect
1:09their self-esteem. If you've ever
1:12questioned your value after a breakup,
1:14if you've ever questioned whether you're
1:15worthy of love, if you've ever
1:17questioned whether you'll ever find
1:19love,
1:20don't skip this video.
1:22I want to start off by talking to you
1:24about what you actually miss. Because
1:27I'm sure your mind is coming up with all
1:29sorts of things. Like you miss the text
1:32in the morning. You miss the
1:33conversation before you went to bed. You
1:36miss the dates you went out on. And it's
1:38really interesting because when you're
1:39focusing on everything you miss, you
1:42actually miss that you have forgotten
1:44all the bad times. Right? You miss the
1:47moments that they treated you badly. And
1:50I don't mean you miss them like you want
1:51them back. You miss them as in you
1:52completely forget they existed. But
1:55here's the real thing you miss.
1:57You don't miss them. You miss who you
2:00thought you'd be with them. It's one of
2:03the hardest truths to face that you can
2:06love someone deeply, lose them, and
2:09still feel stuck long after the story
2:12ends. You tell yourself, "I should be
2:14over this by now." But the memories
2:17still show up. The song, the scent, the
2:20old photo, and suddenly you're right
2:23back there again. Today, I want to talk
2:26about what to do when you just can't get
2:29over your ex. Not from judgement, but
2:32from understanding.
2:33Because what you're feeling isn't
2:35weakness, it's actually wiring.
2:38Let's get into it. I want to start by
2:40talking to you about why you can't let
2:42go. Because I'm sure you've experienced
2:44it, whether you're scrolling through
2:45their social media, whether you're
2:47checking in with a friend of a friend
2:48who still knows that person, whether you
2:51still walk past their workplace just to
2:54see how they are, what's going on,
2:56whether you're someone who just can't
2:58stop looking at your old pictures with
3:00them, your old memories. When we fall in
3:03love, our brains release dopamine and
3:06oxytocin, the same chemicals tied to
3:09addiction. That's why a breakup doesn't
3:12just hurt emotionally, it hurts
3:14physically. You're in a withdrawal from
3:17a person.
3:18But what really keeps you stuck isn't
3:21just the chemistry.
3:22It's identity. For months or years, you
3:25weren't just you.
3:27You were us. Your plans, routines, even
3:31your sense of self were intertwined with
3:34theirs. It was never about you. It was
3:37about both of you.
3:38It was never just about you, it was
3:40about us. It was never just about you,
3:43it was about we. So when they leave, it
3:46doesn't just feel like losing a person.
3:49It feels like losing your reflection.
3:52You start chasing closure. But what you
3:55really want is a confirmation that you
3:58mattered. That that version of you feels
4:02still alive, but without them.
4:05You've almost mirrored so many of their
4:07chemicals that that part of you that
4:10chases that that wants that still
4:11exists, but the relationship doesn't
4:14exist anymore.
4:15Maybe you replay every conversation,
4:18every choice, searching for the moment
4:21it could have gone differently. I know
4:23so many people who think back and say,
4:25"No, it was this moment. It was the
4:27moment that I started to carve out time
4:31for myself. You know what? It was this
4:33moment when I told them I didn't like it
4:35when they did that. That was the moment
4:37I pushed them away. You know, it was the
4:38moment where I talked to them about
4:40their ex-girlfriend that made me feel
4:41insecure. That was the moment they
4:43walked away."
4:45You start creating stories. You start
4:48creating reasons. You start creating
4:50meaning that actually doesn't exist.
4:54That you have no fact
4:56to validate from or verify from.
4:58That's not healing. That's your mind
5:01trying to rewrite a story that it
5:04doesn't want to end. Here's the truth
5:06about breakups. We don't get addicted to
5:08people. We get addicted to how we felt
5:12around them. How we felt wanted, seen,
5:15and chosen. And now that they're gone,
5:18your brain is chasing that feeling, not
5:21the person. It's fascinating that we
5:23think we're chasing the person back, but
5:26really we're chasing the feeling back.
5:28And that's why it's so important to go
5:30and find something else that gives you
5:32that feeling from yourself, your
5:34friends, community, connection. Because
5:37that feeling is something that should
5:38belong to you. Being seen is beautiful.
5:42Being wanted is beautiful. Being chosen
5:44is beautiful.
5:45But if it's dependent on one person and
5:47one person alone that isn't any longer
5:50there, then that isn't your person.
5:53If you want to start letting go after a
5:55breakup, ask yourself,
5:57"What part of me felt most alive in that
6:00relationship?
6:01And how can I give that back to myself
6:04now?"
6:05That's where healing starts. Healing
6:08starts when you focus on the feeling,
6:11not the person.
6:12And you focus on how you can give
6:14yourself that feeling without that
6:16person.
6:17>> [snorts]
6:17>> How you can create that emotion and that
6:20experience for yourself that you deserve
6:23without that person. That you can find
6:26that connection with yourself and others
6:30without that person.
6:32When you think
6:34that that person is more powerful than
6:36an experience or an emotion,
6:38you will never be able to let go.
6:41That emotion is something you
6:42experienced.
6:44It's something that came through you and
6:46out of you.
6:48It still exists within you. You just
6:50have to find the right spark to
6:52rediscover it. You just have to
6:54reconnect with that part of you that
6:56felt so alive, that felt so connected,
6:59because it's already within you. It's
7:00yours. You felt it.
7:02You felt it. One thing we mistake is we
7:05think other people make us feel things.
7:08No, other people push buttons and we
7:10feel what's inside of us.
7:12There's an amazing example from Wayne
7:14Dyer where he said, "If you squeeze an
7:16orange, what comes out? Orange juice.
7:19You don't squeeze an orange and lemon
7:20juice comes out. What comes out is
7:22what's already within.
7:24So if someone squeezes you,
7:26either in a stressful way or a positive
7:27way, what comes out was what was already
7:30within you.
7:31When you acknowledge
7:33that people only bring out of you what
7:36exists within you, you say, "Oh, you
7:39brought this out of me. You You the best
7:40out of me.
7:42That's because it's yours.
7:44Don't forget that whatever you love to
7:46experience with someone else came from
7:49within you. And it's still accessible.
7:51Part two, the myths that keep you stuck.
7:55I think it's so interesting when I was
7:57talking about the idea of writing
7:58stories,
7:59we create the story narrative forgetting
8:02all the bad things that happened. Right?
8:04Someone breaks up with you and now
8:05you're only thinking about the good
8:06times. You're only thinking about the
8:08positive memories. You're forgetting the
8:10arguments, you're forgetting the
8:11mistakes because now you're just like, I
8:13would do anything to have that person
8:15back because that's the story that makes
8:18me feel safe. And this is a really
8:20important part. Your brain is not
8:22working against you. It's trying to make
8:23you feel safe. And because it's trying
8:25to make you feel safe, it wants you to
8:26feel comfortable. And so it reminds you
8:28of all the comfortable things so that
8:30you're willing to even tolerate all the
8:32negative things all over again.
8:35So let's talk about the stories that
8:37keep us trapped. Here's myth number one.
8:41Time heals everything.
8:44Time doesn't heal everything.
8:46Healing happens when you stop waiting to
8:49feel nothing and start learning to live
8:53with what still hurts.
8:56Time doesn't erase the memories. It just
8:58teaches you how to carry them
9:00differently.
9:01Time doesn't make the pain vanish. It
9:04just helps you stop letting it control
9:06your day.
9:07And time doesn't fix the past. It helps
9:09you stop trying to relive it.
9:12Time doesn't bring closure alone.
9:14It gives you space to create your own.
9:17Time doesn't make you forget them.
9:20It helps you remember yourself.
9:22Time doesn't remove the ache. It reminds
9:25you that pain and progress can coexist.
9:29When we keep repeating things like time
9:31heals all wounds and you hear it from
9:32other people, it will just take time.
9:36That's not necessarily true because it's
9:38what you do with that time. It's how you
9:39repeat within that time. Now, there is a
9:42reality that the further you get away
9:43from something, the less hold it has on
9:46you.
9:47But if you're immersed in that
9:48relationship every day,
9:51it still feels like it has a hold on
9:53you. So, what you have to do is think
9:55about the hooks in your time.
9:58Scrolling their social media, looking at
10:00past pictures, checking in on what
10:02they're up to.
10:04All of those things are like hooks that
10:06keep you held and imprisoned by that
10:09relationship.
10:10Time can't do anything if the way you
10:13spend your time is completely fixated on
10:15them.
10:16Myth number two,
10:18"I just need closure."
10:20We all think that if they gave us a
10:22perfect explanation, we'd feel
10:24satisfied. When the reality is, even if
10:27someone gave you the perfect
10:28explanation, you'd find another thing
10:30with it that you don't agree with.
10:33Closure is realizing you may never get
10:36the apology,
10:38but you're done waiting for it.
10:40Closure is accepting that some chapters
10:43end without explanations,
10:45and that's still an ending.
10:47Closure is choosing peace over answers.
10:50It's when you stop trying to understand
10:52why it happened and start focusing on
10:55what it taught you.
10:56Closure is knowing you did what you
10:58could, and that it's not your job to
11:00carry both your pain and their growth.
11:04I think closure is one of those
11:06misleading pursuits.
11:08And really what the mind is trying to do
11:11is that the mind is focused and wired to
11:15want to complete unfinished tasks.
11:19The mind doesn't love incompleteness.
11:23What it doesn't understand is that
11:24completeness rarely is filled by someone
11:27else. I remember [snorts] coaching
11:29someone who just wanted this person to
11:31give them an answer. That person gave
11:33them an answer. They sent them a long
11:34email. And then the person said, "Well,
11:36what about this, this, and this? You
11:37didn't raise this." That person replied
11:39again through text messages. And the
11:41person said, "Well, what about this,
11:42this, this, and this?" And that process
11:44continues. Because what you're really
11:46saying is I just don't feel valued. I
11:49don't feel seen anymore. I just want you
11:50back. That's what you're saying. You're
11:52not really asking for an explanation.
11:55Because there is no explanation to
11:56satisfy you.
11:58Because the only person who can satisfy
12:00you is yourself in that moment by
12:02recognizing
12:03that whatever the explanation it may be,
12:06what's worrying me is not what they
12:08think of me.
12:10What worries me is what I think of
12:12myself.
12:14What you're worried about is not what
12:16other people think of you.
12:18You're worried that what they think of
12:20you might be true.
12:22It might be what you think about
12:24yourself.
12:25That's what worries you.
12:27You're concerned that what someone sees
12:30in you actually might exist.
12:32But when you start focusing
12:34on that, on growing yourself, healing
12:37yourself, working through that, that's
12:40what gives you closure. That's what
12:41gives you confidence. What are you doing
12:44this Thanksgiving besides overindulging
12:46and watching football? Well, maybe take
12:49the opportunity to reconnect with some
12:51friends through Facebook. Comment on an
12:53old friend's post or post to a Facebook
12:55group telling the gang you want to get
12:57together. I'll even write it for you.
12:59Hey everybody, let's meet at mine for
13:02pizza and football.
13:04Facebook offers a great way to connect,
13:06and a little connection goes a long way.
13:09Let's reconnect this holiday season with
13:11Facebook. Myth number three, if I move
13:14on, it means I never cared. So many of
13:18us think, "Oh, if I move on, it means
13:20that wasn't real. If they move on, it
13:22means that wasn't real."
13:24That's not true. Something can be real,
13:26and you can move on or they can move on.
13:29Something can be real for a period of
13:30time.
13:31Is it real that trees have leaves? Yes.
13:35But, in the fall, they let them go. Does
13:37that mean it wasn't real?
13:38No, of course not. You would never say
13:40that. It was real for that season.
13:42Something can be real for a season
13:45and not real for the next.
13:47A relationship can be good for you for 4
13:50years
13:51and not for the next. A connection
13:55can be powerful for you
13:57for a certain amount of time and not for
13:59the next. When you force it
14:02to be relevant, relatable, right for
14:05you,
14:06you actually are going against the grain
14:08of nature. Moving on doesn't mean the
14:11love wasn't real.
14:12It means you've learned what it came to
14:14teach you.
14:16If someone moves on, it doesn't mean
14:17that their feelings for you weren't
14:19real.
14:20It just means they had a deadline. It
14:23just means they had a timeline, and it
14:25means they had an end. Now, you'd say,
14:28"Well, then how do I ever know anyone
14:29has feelings for me that are real?"
14:32Because the person that you have
14:33feelings for that are real and the
14:35person that has them for you is someone
14:37who waters them every day.
14:40A student once came to the Buddha and
14:42asked,
14:43"What is the difference between I like
14:45you and I love you?"
14:48And the Buddha replied, "When you like a
14:50flower, you simply pluck it.
14:53But, when you love a flower, you water
14:55it every day.
14:56Real feelings are feelings that people
14:59invest in every day.
15:02A real love is a love that isn't decided
15:05on on a wedding day or an engagement or
15:07an anniversary.
15:08It's one that shows up every single
15:11day."
15:12Myth number four. If they came back, it
15:15would finally work. How many of you have
15:17ever said this? This time, if they came
15:18back, I would change. I would mold
15:20myself. I won't complain anymore, I
15:22won't raise issues.
15:25But let's be honest. You raised those
15:27issues because it wasn't good.
15:30There was their behavior or an
15:31interaction that didn't sit right with
15:33you. Now all of a sudden you're going to
15:35just let that go. All of a sudden you're
15:37going to say I'm never ever going to
15:38have an issue with bad behavior ever
15:40again. Is that the kind of love you
15:42want?
15:43Is that the kind of love you want to
15:44receive? One that you don't get to share
15:48what you feel?
15:50Is it love
15:52if you can't be honest with them?
15:54Is it love
15:56if you can't express your emotions
15:58without feeling fearful?
16:00Is it love
16:02if you can't express how you feel
16:05without them feeling uncomfortable?
16:07How can it be love
16:09if you can't share, express your
16:13feelings and emotions
16:15without feeling like they may react?
16:19Here's the truth. You don't miss them,
16:22you miss hope. But hope without change
16:25is just another heartbreak waiting to
16:28happen. When you stop feeding these
16:30myths, you stop feeding the illusion
16:33that keeps you stuck. We keep creating
16:37these illusions, illusory versions of
16:39life, not realizing that yep, they'll
16:41come back. Yes, for a month you won't
16:43say anything and in a month you will be
16:45upset about their behavior again. In a
16:47month you will be irritated. And then
16:49when you raise it, they'll say, "Wait a
16:51minute, I thought you were never going
16:52to raise this again." And you'll say,
16:53"Yeah, I didn't want to, but it's a big
16:55deal to me." The reason that you broke
16:57up in the first place is that there's
16:59something deeply rooted that disconnects
17:03you.
17:04You didn't break up over nothing. Don't
17:06invite drama back into your life
17:09long-term because you think that person
17:12will make you feel peaceful short-term.
17:14You'll invite someone who caused you
17:17pain back into your life
17:19because you don't want to deal with the
17:21pain of losing them in the short term.
17:25You don't want to do that.
17:26Part three, how to actually heal.
17:30Here's where we go from understanding to
17:33action.
17:34The first step is stop feeding the
17:37fantasy.
17:38You can't heal if you're still
17:40romanticizing the highlight reel.
17:43Block the breadcrumbs, social media, old
17:45photo playlists. The saying out of
17:48sight, out of mind couldn't be more
17:50true. You're not being dramatic, you're
17:52protecting your recovery.
17:55How do you stop the story? You stop the
17:57story by looking at both story lines.
18:01Right? If you only look at the story
18:03line you're feeling right now and you
18:05ignore the story line you felt a couple
18:07of months ago, you're not looking at the
18:08full picture.
18:10Look at the full picture. Write out
18:13every reason
18:15why you actually saw you weren't right
18:16for each other. Not why they're a bad
18:18person, but why you weren't right for
18:20each other because you had enough of
18:21those signs. Sometimes the reason you're
18:24upset that someone broke up with you
18:26is because you wanted to break up with
18:28them first.
18:30You wanted to be the person who ended
18:32things, but you were scared of doing
18:34that.
18:35And now you're living on the opposite
18:38end where they broken up with you when
18:40you were the one who knew it wasn't
18:42going in the right direction.
18:44But again, it was fear
18:47that kept you in the wrong relationship.
18:49And now it's fear that will make you go
18:51back to the wrong relationship.
18:54Fear keeps us in the wrong relationships
18:57and it makes us pursue the bad
18:59relationships all over again.
19:02You're not being dramatic when you
19:03disconnect from their social media, when
19:05you stop checking in on what they're up
19:07to, when you stop making them a part of
19:09your life.
19:11It allows you to truly start processing
19:14and not keep creating these stories.
19:16Number two,
19:17feel without dramatizing.
19:20You don't have to pretend you're fine.
19:22Grief is actually healthy.
19:24What's unhealthy is making it your
19:27identity.
19:28Sit with the sadness,
19:31but don't pitch your tent there.
19:33Try this journaling prompt. What did
19:36this relationship teach me about my
19:39needs, not my worth? After a breakup,
19:42the biggest mistake we make is we think
19:45that what happened is a reflection of
19:48our worth,
19:49not a reflection of our needs.
19:52When you reflect something onto your
19:54worth, you just feel worse.
19:56When you recognize something is teaching
19:58you about your needs, you're actually
20:00able to move forward and recognize what
20:02you want in the future.
20:04Number three, rebuild your rituals.
20:08Heartbreak steals structure.
20:11Healing gives it back.
20:13Start creating new anchors, morning
20:16walks, gym sessions, therapy, dinner
20:18with friends. What happens is your brain
20:21had a rhythm of life with that person.
20:24The morning text,
20:26the evening call,
20:28the date night on the weekend. Your
20:30brain had found a new rhythm
20:33that had replaced your old rhythm.
20:35Remember, you were single before this
20:37person. You had a rhythm before this
20:39person. So, what do you do? You've got
20:41to create a new rhythm.
20:44And the new rhythm has to tap into the
20:46moments where you feel the most
20:47triggered. If you can identify the three
20:50times in your day
20:52where you're most affected by this
20:55breakup
20:57and recognize that those are the moments
20:59you want to give yourself the most care,
21:01the most connection, the most being with
21:03other people,
21:04the most ability to not fall into that
21:06trap of
21:08revisiting the past, that's what you
21:10want to focus on.
21:12Number four, shift the question.
21:15Instead of asking, "Why didn't it work?"
21:18ask, "To what version of me was I
21:21becoming while trying to make it work?"
21:24If you were becoming a better version of
21:26yourself, how can you continue to do
21:27that?
21:28And if you were becoming a lesser
21:30version of yourself,
21:32how do you use that to remind yourself
21:33that you don't want to go back there?
21:36Asking yourself why it didn't work,
21:39there'll be a million answers,
21:41and there'll be so many from them and
21:43your side.
21:44But the truth is,
21:46it didn't work
21:47because they didn't want to make it
21:49work.
21:50And when one person doesn't want to make
21:52it work,
21:53it doesn't work just because you do.
21:56A healthy relationship is where both
21:57people want to make it work. You don't
22:00want to be in a relationship with
22:02someone who doesn't want to make it work
22:04with you,
22:05because it's never going to work just
22:07because one person wants it to work. A
22:10relationship only works when both people
22:12work on it together and want it to work.
22:15That is a definition of a healthy,
22:18long-term relationship. Both people are
22:21committed to making it work. There is no
22:24such thing as the right person. There's
22:27only the person who's willing to show up
22:30to try and make things right. When you
22:32both want to do that, the relationship
22:34is in working order.
22:36And number five, let pain become
22:39purpose.
22:40You're not meant to erase your story.
22:42You're meant to evolve through it. Every
22:44heartbreak can either harden you or
22:47humanize you.
22:49The difference is whether you learn or
22:51linger.
22:53What I find for so many people
22:55is that
22:57when you're in the moment where your
22:58heart's been broken,
23:00you can't believe it ever
23:03being glued back together.
23:06And what's incredible is that anyone
23:07that I've coached through that time,
23:09when they finally find love again, which
23:11happens every time,
23:13they completely forget that ever
23:14existed.
23:15You don't have to be hopeful right now.
23:17You don't have to believe right now. All
23:19you have to do
23:20is practice
23:22putting your heart back together
23:25and creating purpose to move forward,
23:26meaning to move forward. There's a
23:29beautiful practice called Kintsugi.
23:32It's the idea that when something
23:34breaks,
23:35it's rebuilt
23:37through this beautiful gold.
23:41And you may see items of pots, of clay,
23:44of
23:44plates that are broken, and now you can
23:47see the cracks, but the cracks are gold.
23:49That's what each and every one of us are
23:51when our hearts are broken.
23:52But knowing that those wounds only make
23:54you better for the future, they only
23:55make you aware of what you're looking
23:57for, they only make you prepared for the
23:59future. Part four.
24:01Here's what to do when you slip back. It
24:03is guaranteed that you will slip back.
24:06Recovering from a breakup is moving
24:09three steps forward and two steps back.
24:12It's feeling like you're healing
24:14and then crying like you're back to day
24:16one.
24:17It's experiencing growth
24:20and then feeling grief.
24:22Healing isn't linear.
24:25You might feel strong for weeks, then
24:27suddenly you see their name and
24:29everything floods back.
24:31That doesn't mean you're broken. It
24:33means you're human.
24:35When that happens, here's what I want
24:36you to remember.
24:38Missing someone doesn't mean you're
24:40meant for them. It just means they
24:42occupied a meaningful chapter of your
24:44life and your heart hasn't caught up to
24:47the ending yet.
24:48If you're going through a breakup,
24:50do this.
24:52Instead of texting them,
24:53text a friend.
24:55Instead of rereading your old messages,
24:58start creating new connections. Instead
25:01of asking, "Do they miss me?" ask, "Am I
25:04proud of who I'm becoming?"
25:06Because getting over someone isn't about
25:08forgetting them.
25:10It's about remembering you. There was a
25:12you before this relationship, there was
25:14a you during this relationship, and
25:16there is a you after this relationship.
25:18It is the most important relationship
25:21you will ever commit to.
25:24Don't ignore it because you felt that
25:27you are only in existence with this
25:29other individual. You existed before,
25:31you will always exist without them. I
25:34want to leave you with some closing
25:35words.
25:36Sometimes the hardest part isn't letting
25:39go of them, it's letting go of the
25:41future you built with them in your mind.
25:44But healing starts the moment you stop
25:47asking, "Why did they leave?" and start
25:50asking, "What is this pain trying to
25:53teach me?"
25:55So if you're in that place, still
25:57missing them, still aching,
25:59take a deep breath. Breathe in
26:01acceptance,
26:03breathe out attachment.
26:05You're not weak for still feeling.
26:08You're strong for still showing up.
26:10You're not behind in your healing,
26:13you're right on time for your
26:15transformation.
26:16You don't have to get over them today,
26:19you just have to focus on getting back
26:21to you.
26:22Thank you so much for listening. I hope
26:25this episode helps you in your healing
26:26journey. Please share it with a friend
26:28who's going through a really really
26:29difficult time, and I promise you this
26:32will be the launchpad of a beautiful
26:34love story for you. Remember, I'm
26:36forever in your corner, I'm always
26:38rooting for you, and thank you for
26:39joining me here on On Purpose. If you
26:41loved this episode, you're going to love
26:43my conversation with Matthew Hussey on
26:46how to get over your ex and find true
26:49love in your relationships. People
26:51should be compassionate to themselves,
26:53but extend that compassion to your
26:55future self. Because truly extending
26:58your compassion to your future self is
27:00doing something that gives him or her a
27:02shot at a happy and a peaceful life.
