Everyone needs some time away from everything to reenergize and reconnect with themselves away from the norm just to review your own life.
Revising the decisions you have made, looking at your life’s progress and places you can improve because there are those moments when we feel we are rushing over things so fast that we feel we are missing out. That is the moment we feel we need space.
Of course, if it is your partner asking for space it is scary, you really don’t know what is transpiring in his/her mind, but don’t fret you can also use that time to do a self-evaluation.
Here are some tips that will help you give them adequate space and even have you two coming back together for a stronger relationship.
1.Don’t let your anxiety make the best out of you
Yes I know, it’s not and easy thing because you are thinking that this is your go-to person and he/she is having doubts about you and the relationship and this and that…. shut up! Stop seating on the negative side of life ‘space’ is not always about breaking up. This could just get better, you just never know.
Try and maintain your sanity, no matter how difficult it gets, while your partner is having their time out to breathe. Your partner is not trying to hurt or push you away.
2.This is also an opportunity to rethink your life…. ‘me Time’ will do you good
Being in a relationship consumes up most of your time and you barely have your time alone. The break is also likely to feel long and lonely, you will have to get immersed in something to be able to pull through. During the break can be your perfect time. Follow up on a hobby and go holidaying alone and get your mind completely off the break. Focus on making you a better person and love yourself more.
3.Give them the space they asked for
Try not to think about being with your significant other. Take time to connect with friends, try new sports, stay late at work or do those things that make you happy. Take this as the time to prove to you that you can actually hold yourself together. You have to completely free yourself from your partner for as long as they need it.
4.Don’t obsess over the break
Other than spending your time thinking about space, try thinking about other things. If you get obsessed over the relationships or the time you guys are taking apart, you will end up wanting to get back even before the time is right. If social media will be an issue then you can turn them off for a day or two if that will help you maintain your maturity during the break.
5.Don’t be hard on yourself
The break is likely to open the ways for mixed feelings. Allow yourself to feel them but do not act on them. This way, you will not end up pilling emotions that would eventually break you down.
