• Great advice! I love that loving kindness prayer technique, will give it a go. Thank you Matt 🙏🏽
  Things that supported me in healing: Talking to friends and counsellor; Journaling; Ho’oponopono prayer; Tarot readings (inspires visions of a better future); Ayahuasca retreat (helped to see things from a drastically different point of view); Acknowledging my contribution to what happened and forgiving myself; Being in Nature and Grounding; Recalling positive aspects of the relationship;

• Thankfully I have been through all the stages and have moved on completely but this video still helps because even tho I have moved sometimes its just nice to hear hey you really moved on and heres how. This video also helps for other non romantic relationships as well with family members or friends.

• This is the most informed video I have heard.
  This has made me understand my ex and how to heal.
  His behavior was his wounds. I can now release and move forward.
  I have been doing things for myself,meeting new people through activities, and seeing that there is a life out there.

  • Indeed. This is Indeed inspiring.

• This is the best presentation on forgiveness I have ever listened to.

• Asking myself why did I get into that? Looking inside my struggles and motives. On the way getting lots of knowledge, and then, learning and starting understand the human mind. Selfcompassion and promise to take care of myself and never betray myself. Value my life as it is LIFE. The result is the complete change of my vision, the complete change of my surrounding, almost the whole circle of people. Stop needing any company, start seeing toxic manifestations in the very beginning of an interaction. Learning, exploring, enjoying, life. Seeing the treasure in that situation.

• Adding on to Matt’s comment about what his mother experienced with the checker at the supermarket brought to mind a beautiful quote that Robin Williams said in an interview. He said, “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know absolutely nothing about. Be kind always!” I now have that quote front and center in my mind which allows me to be more compassionate and a lot less judgmental. ✨

• What has helped me (and probably many others) is switching from the emotional thinking that we do when we feel hurt to The Objective Truth (a.k.a. logical thinking). It requires being brutally honest with oneself and exploring how the situation arose and how it was first handled.
  As an example, I see that I chose the wrong family member in which to confide; and I have set up a new communication structure to avoid the situation happening again.

  • That's beautiful. That's the story of my whole life. Always choosing wrong and not honoring myself. I finally got it right.

• Time has helped as well as finding myself and following people like you. Thank you!

• Great video, Mat! As per usual, U continue to see the 'bigger picture' in every situation. ❤️

• Thank you for this beautiful guidance 🙏 I really needed that.
