Breaking Free After A Breakupনমুনা

Breaking Off Ties. 

The most necessary steps in dealing with a tough break up are the most difficult ones. While there’s a strong desire to hold on to those things that remind you of your ex or the good times in the relationship, it's important that you become proactive in guarding yourself from things that will cause you to go back mentally and ruminate about a relationship that you know God Himself has already declared "finished." 

The RnB star, Ne-Yo, had to change his "answering machine." You might have to unfollow or unfriend this person on a social media platform, you might have to delete photos of the two of you from your phone, or you might have to block the person’s number. You, more than anyone, know what steps need to be taken to break off ties from your previous partner. 

Don’t worry about appearing mean or rude, but understand that to bring closure, you actually need to close some doors. You may want to continue the friendship with this person and God may very well be calling you to do that. If so, be conscious of your emotions and be honest with yourself about the pace that you can handle. Maybe you are able to walk right into a friendship with the individual, but chances are, you will need time in separation for God to operate on your heart.
