This Is What You Need To Hear Right Now: You're not starting over, you're starting from experience.
We often think the new year is a time for a fresh slate, a way to change everything that wasn't working in 2024 to have different results this year. While a fresh start is nice....it's also a lot of pressure! Pressure to make too many changes at once. Pressure to get it right. And pressure to not fall back into bad habits.
The thing is: even if you aren't where you want to be right now, you don't need to start over. Because there is so much valuable experience you gained in the last year – and from the ones prior. That's why we loved our Season 19 Finale episode with John Kim about looking at breakups as a growth opportunity to propel you forward. Even in the hardest of times (like a breakup!) you can grow from that experience.
So take inventory of what you want to change when it comes to love. Look at what didn't go your way last year. But also look at what did! Take these moments (even the tiniest micro-ones!) and reflect on what you learned about yourself, relationships, and what you want in a partner. This is how you build momentum, which is ultimately what will pave your path to love.
❤️ Forward to a friend that also needs to hear this as well.
