The Break Up Commandments

Rules to heal by...

1. I shall NOT communicate with my ex. **

2. I shall NOT keep pictures or reminders of my ex in plain view

3. I shall NOT plot revenge against my ex.

4. I shall NOT blame myself for that which is out of my control.

5. I shall NOT be careless with my body.

6. I shall NOT be ashamed to cry or release my emotions.

7. I shall NOT isolate myself from my friends and family.

8. I shall NOT be careless with the hearts of others.

9. I shall NOT settle for less than I deserve.

10. I shall NOT stop moving forward.

**Obviously if kids or shared assets are involved, it will not be possible to avoid all communication with your ex but you can at least limit your communications so that discussions never involve anything more than the interests of the children or issues related to shared assets. Do NOT entertain discussions about each other’s personal lives or about the former relationship.
