PART 1

So you’re breaking up; as a friend said to me during my last break-up process, “That’s always hard, even if it is the right thing.”

I feel she summed it up precisely. The ending of a relationship is a process, just like any loss. It requires grief, strength, clearing, and caring. In order to move on more wholly, reaching out in life to embrace the next and better relationship the universe has in store for you—it’s best to take the time you need to heal.

Since my 18th birthday I have been in 10 relationships that have ended. They all finished for different reasons—we were going different places, we lived on different continents, betrayal (my own and my partner’s), and an inability to commit, just to name a few. Through each partnering and each ending I learned important information about myself, and how we move on.

When the process of my last break-up went so smoothly and lovingly, I realized that I had mastered something that others would want to know. It was then that I sat down and wrote the outline for my ebook: From Heartbreak to Wholeness: 12 Steps to Healing from Break-up.

This is an excerpt from From Heartbreak to Wholeness: 12 Steps to Healing from Break-up. Stay tuned for more excerpts as Aimée walks you through the steps one by one.

Give Yourself a Great Start To The New Year

Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment. After all, there’s plenty going on in the world, in celebrity lives, in the constant push of the media, to keep one engaged or preoccupied. Which is great, if such brings you joy. But if, on the contrary, you find you are living someone else’s life via trending, or depressed and distressed by

“Weight-Train” Your Brain

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,

Declutter Your Heart

We speak of decluttering our spaces--our homes, garages, offices--but how often do we think of decluttering ourselves? As in letting go of outdated emotions, the guilts, fears, regrets that no longer serve us in any way? After all, isn’t that how you declutter your closet? You look over your outfits and discard clothes you haven’t worn in years, or that are so not-trendy you can barely stand to look at them, or which remind you of that awful fight you had with – well, never
