Expressing Gratitude is Essential for a Healthy Breakup - Step #4
![]()
This is Aymee taking a bath in my tub the night after the break up. We lit candles and used the BEST bath crystals on earth (www.abratherapeutics.com) in her bath. Sisters taking care of each other post break up!
To recap Aymee Coget’s Break up Formula thus far:
1) Acknowledge the Break Up
2) Accept the Break Up
3) Identify Learning Lessons
Now we are going to talk about Expressing Gratitude and getting to an authentic place where we truly can offer our “Ex” thanks for the learning lessons. Expressing gratitude is scientifically proven to lead to happiness which is why it is a fundamental component of the Break Up Formula.
The morning after the break up, Aymee sent an email to her “Ex” expressing her gratitude for the learning lessons of their time together (it is possible to have fun, be close, feel at peace and comfortable with a man at a depth she had not felt before, sex life she never dreamed possible, etc.) She also tied up logistical loose ends and expressed desire to transition into friendship when he was ready.
I was amazed at Aymee’s ability to keep clear and stay in touch with the greatness this man had brought into her life even though he was now choosing to walk away. I write about the power in giving gratitude in my book “Four Cornerstone’s to Living your Dreams” as I also understand the joy that comes from offering sincere, heartfelt gratitude for what we had been given and experienced with another. Again, offering forgiveness to ourselves (and thus another) is an essential component to consistently practice if we truly desire to move on from a break up.
Offering gratitude demonstrates maturity, clear mindedness, and your ability to love and honor yourself. When we stay focused on all that we have and can be thankful for, more things to be grateful for flows to us. Luckily it is the same with love. The sooner we get back into a place of love and gratitude, the sooner the next great man will come into our lives to mirror back to us what we are expressing.
