It's our natural adaptiveness that's doing that for us.

But we can fast track that process by being more conscious and intentional about it.

The secondary part of it is, is who were you?

Who did you become when you had this loss?

And a lot of times it's these beautiful things.

Like I was a protector.

I was a caretaker.

I was a contributor.

And when we look at who we became and we work to keep expressing those aspects of self, that is deeply healing for us as well.

And that's a really good way to kickstart moving through the breakup much more quickly.

I very much believe that you do.

And I think that there's times where people... When we look at grief too, which is really interesting, is one of the ways that... It's actually another step that we have for how to heal grief.

It's funny because I actually forgot about this one.

Is sometimes when...

we feel like we lost somebody.

There's this old saying that there's no such thing as gain or loss.

It's only ever-changing forms.

And when I think of in more extreme forms of grief, even like a death of somebody, oftentimes, yes, they're not here in the physical form, but they're here and we can meet those needs and we can become that expression of ourselves.

But a lot of times,

they're still within you in their conditioning that they imprinted or impressed upon you.
