Breakups are incredibly difficult. If you’ve just broken up with someone you care about, you may feel sad, angry, lost, or scared. The good news is that these feelings won’t last forever. After the breakup, give yourself some time and space to process your grief. When you’re ready, use the wisdom and experience you gained from the relationship to move forward with your life. Take time to reconnect with things that brought you joy before the breakup, and look for new forms of fulfillment as well.
1. HIT THE GYM - Working out is a great way to release overwhelming feelings of sadness, anger, resentment, etc. There’s no better way to handle these intense emotions by working your butt off at the gym. Use all that pain and channel all of that aggression into passion and you’ll come out tougher and stronger than you were before. There are many benefits associated with exercise that can improve your health and emotional well-being:
A. Exercise helps fight depression
B. It helps relieve stress and other harmful emotions
C. It boosts energy
D. It boosts mood
E. It increases self-confidence
F. It helps you deal with stress better
2. Do things you find fun and fulfilling - Now is the perfect time to pick up a new hobby or rekindle your interest in an old one! If you want to try something new, consider signing up for a class or joining a local group that shares your interests.If you’re the creative type, you could try painting, doing crafts, or learning a musical instrument. If you’re more athletic or outdoorsy, try taking up a new sport or going on hikes.Doing group activities is also a great way to make new friends and grow your support network.If there are any activities that you particularly associate with your ex, you might want to take a break from them for a while.
3. Focus on caring for yourself - Help yourself heal after your breakup by practicing self-care. It’s hard to be happy if you’re not taking care of your basic physical, emotional, and practical needs. Self-care can mean a lot of things, but a few of the basics include:
a. Getting plenty of good-quality sleep.
b. Eating healthy, nutritious foods.
c. Getting exercise.
d. Spending quality time with friends and family.
e. Doing activities you enjoy.
f. Taking care of practical matters, like paying bills and doing work or school projects.
4. Resist the urge to check in on what your ex is doing - If you find yourself agonizing about how your ex is feeling and what they are up to, look for ways to distract yourself or channel those feelings elsewhere. For example, if you are fighting the temptation to look at your ex’s Facebook page, you might call a friend or write about it in a journal.If you and your ex are connected on social media, it may be a good idea to unfriend or even block them. That will help reduce the temptation to torture yourself by checking their profile.
5. Avoid blaming yourself for what happened - Self-blame is common after a breakup, but you probably both had a part to play in what happened. It’s okay (and, in fact, healthy) to acknowledge the mistakes you made in the relationship, but try to think of those mistakes as an opportunity to grow and do better in the future.You might also blame your partner for what happened, especially if they broke up with you. Remind yourself that it’s probably for the best that they let you go, since you’re now free to find someone who’s a better match for you (if that’s what you want).
6. Tell yourself that what you are feeling is temporary - This is the most important way of healing stage. It may be hard to imagine right now, but you will not feel this way forever. Think of your sadness about the breakup as an injury that is healing. It will hurt for a while and the pain may be worse some days than others, but the hurt will eventually fade. The amount of time it takes to move beyond a breakup varies from one person (and breakup) to another. Just take it one day at a time.
You all gonna shine either way . THIS SHALL TOO PASS ... SENDING LOTS OF LOVE ❤️

Death is a black hole. Think about it. A black hole is the corpse of a star, something once warm and bright, now come to the end of its life cycle. But some will argue that the cycle of life does not end with death. That death is merely another path we must walk once our bodies expire and our souls ascend. In that moment, when the fuel in the star’s chemical tank hits empty and the shiny matte coat explodes into supernova, the mass left behind – the corpse – becomes a black hole. We understand that, around such a vast cadaver, dimensions work a little differently in death to the way we’re used to in life. For example, light cannot escape the pull of a black hole when it hits the point of no return. That’s where it gets its colour. Space itself is contorted by a black hole. That’s where it gets its funny shape. Even time. Time slows right down the closer you get to it. The closer you get to a black hole. The closer you get to death.

In the fast-paced whirlwind of modern life, where technology dominates and connection feels increasingly elusive, there’s a profound yearning for rituals and ceremonies—a return to the sacred, the meaningful, and the deeply human. These age-old practices have woven themselves into the fabric of our existence, serving as bridges between the mundane and the divine, the individual and the collective. In this guide, we’ll delve into the essence of rituals and ceremonies, exploring their significance, their impact on human psychology, and how you can integrate them into your life for greater fulfillment and connection.

A Flower Song
Apparently the Aztecs, Toltecs, Chichimecs and other Mexica were crazy about poetry. Despite the book-burning, slaughter, and epidemics that characterized the early stages of the Spanish conquest of the empires of Mexico, some hundreds of poems from the height of their tradition come down to us in Classical Nahuatl, preserved by Nahua and Spanish scholars of the 16th century. One of the most famous poets, Nezahualcoyotl, was a sage-king who opposed the cult of human sacrifice associated with Tezcatlipoca, God of the Smoking Mirror, and favored Quetzalcoatl, the Feathered Serpent. Flowers and feathers were the favorite offering of the Plumed Serpent. Moreover, flowers and feathers are a metaphor for poetry. Individual words, scattered petals, the down of tropical birds. The temples of blood sacrifice could be transformed into temples of flower and song. A sublimated offering to the Heart of Earth and the Heart of Sky encapsulated in the Classical Nahuatl kenning for poetry: in xōchitl in cuīcatl, meaning, "the flower and the song." The following poem is part of a longer work, and is in a state of flux, so take the waters as they flow:
