Manny Pascual Cuevas On: Moving On from a Relationship: Healing and Growth

Did you know that nearly 70% of Filipinos experience emotional distress after a breakup, affecting their mental health significantly? Moving on isn’t just about letting go — it’s about healing and rediscovering yourself.

Moving on from a relationship is the process of emotionally detaching, healing from past hurt, and rebuilding a positive outlook on life and future relationships. It involves acceptance, self-care, and sometimes professional support to ensure mental and emotional wellness.

Understanding the Emotional Impact of Breakups

Breakups are more than just the end of a partnership—they can trigger anxiety, depression, and lowered self-esteem. Studies show that mental health challenges post-breakup are common, especially among Millennials and Gen Z. Recognizing these feelings is the first step toward healing.

Practical Steps to Heal and Move Forward

• Accept Your Feelings: Allow yourself to grieve, cry, or feel angry. Suppressing emotions can delay recovery.

• Seek Support: Talk to trusted friends, family, or consider professional counseling to process your emotions.

• Focus on Self-Care: Prioritize sleep, nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness practices to rebuild mental resilience.

• Set New Goals: Engage in hobbies, personal growth activities, or career objectives that shift your focus forward.
