It&#8217;s probably a good time to really look at your situation if you are stuck, or to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/breakup-etiquette.html\/\">review your past breakups<\/a><\/strong> in order to learn from them, and not repeat any actions or behaviors that brought you more pain than was necessary, again!<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be honest, no matter what the reasons, or who is breaking up with whom, it\u2019s a process that will bring change, and at least some pain, if not a major broken heart. Change is always hard for humans, however life is change, so try not to hide from living your life because of fear.  Remember F.E.A.R. stands for False Emotions Appearing Real! This is why we are \u201cafraid\u201d of taking action, as well as a lack of confidence in our own feelings.  Self esteem can sometimes keep someone <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2009\/07\/becoming-an-adult-in-relationships.html\/\">locked into an unhealthy relationship<\/a><\/strong>, so self examination is an absolute requirement.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Clarity is hard to come by when we&#8217;re looking at such an emotionally charged issue.  Get a clear space alone, and really look at your own behaviors and actions <em>first<\/em>.  It\u2019s easy to point and blame, much more satisfying to get honest with yourself and grow.  So it\u2019s important to think about the situation when your mind is clear and sober.  Be honest with yourself about it; try not to dramatize it, that\u2019s great for getting attention, but it really sucks for finding out what is truly going on in your life!<\/p>\n<p>Here are some questions to ask yourself in order to get clarity:<\/p>\n<p>What do I need that I\u2019m not getting?<br \/>\nCan I get it <em>inside<\/em> this relationship?<br \/>\nWhat are the issues that keep us from happiness?<br \/>\nAre they <em>deal<\/em> <em>breakers<\/em>? (no mutually appealing solution)<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to make the <em>pro<\/em> and <em>con<\/em> list, and then make a decision!<\/p>\n<p>The final step is the hardest; it\u2019s time to take action.  So if there is hope, and you believe certain steps can actually save the relationship, then immediately set up a time to discuss this with your mate.  IF you both agree, set a time limit or date when these actions <em>must<\/em> happen (or risk it going on for years and ending up in the same state).<\/p>\n<p>If your action is to dissolve the union, then once again get out your calendar and commit to yourself when and how to make that happen!  The most important factors are being clear and taking action.  If you are clear \u2013 move forward and reclaim your happiness.  If indeed we are here to grow, there is no guarantee you are meant to grow in an <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.californiapsychics.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/increase-your-happiness.html\">unhealthy relationship<\/a><\/strong>, and you may be holding yourself back from the life you&#8217;re supposed to be living!<\/p>\n<div style=\"border-top: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;border-bottom: 1px dotted #c9d9d9;margin: 10px 0px;padding: 10px 4px;font-weight: bold\"><strong>What&#8217;s ahead for <em>your <\/em>love life?<\/strong> Try a psychic reading. <!-- ADD COPY ABOVE -->Call <span style=\"font-size: 16px;color: #d33d26\">1.800.573.4830<\/span> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/c\/c.aspx?lid=110524\">choose your psychic now. <\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many people go through a period when they realize intellectually that their relationship is over, but they can&#8217;t take action to actually end it.
