Episode Shownotes

Do you find yourself thinking about your ex often? What has been the hardest part of moving on for you? Today, Jay taps into the emotional complexities of getting over an ex and provides actionable steps to move forward. Drawing on insights from neuroscience and psychology, Jay explains why it's

entirely normal to struggle with letting go of a past relationship, even if it's been months or years. The emotional pain we experience after a breakup, he explains, is comparable to drug withdrawal, highlighting the deep biological connections we form with our partners. One of the most impactful ideas Jay shares is that clinging to the past steals energy and time from the future. By ruminating over what could have been, we rob ourselves of the opportunity to build new experiences and relationships. Ultimately, Jay’s message is clear: while it's natural to struggle with letting go, the key to healing lies in breaking old patterns, embracing new habits, and shifting our focus toward growth. If you or someone you know is struggling to move on from a past relationship, this episode offers practical tools and compassionate advice to help start the journey toward healing. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Heal by Changing Your Environment How to Replace Emotional Attachment After a Breakup How to Shift Focus from the Past to the Present How to Build Confidence Without External Validation How to Move On by Breaking Old Patterns Trust that with patience and self-compassion, you will find the strength to not only move on, but to thrive in ways you never imagined. You deserve the love and happiness that comes from within—keep moving forward, you're stronger than you know.

Purina started the Purple Leash Project to help eliminate one of the many barriers domestic abuse survivors face, a lack of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters.

00:00:48 Speaker_00
1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, and nearly half of survivors delay leaving because they can't bring their pets with them.

00:00:58 Speaker_00
Through the Purple Leash Project, Purina is helping to create more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters across the country, so abused survivors and their pets can escape and heal together. Visit purina.com forward slash purple to get involved.

You know you're with the right person when they don't rely on you for everything and you don't rely on them for everything. They love the fact that you have other friends, other connections, family members that you open your heart to.

00:03:16 Speaker_00
And you respect the fact that they have people in their life that they turn to. You don't feel insecure about the fact that they open their heart to someone else but you.

00:03:27 Speaker_00
And they don't feel upset about the fact that you may share your heart with someone else. Because what you truly want is for you and the other person to feel supported, feel cared for, and ultimately, that you both want what's best for each other.

00:03:53 Speaker_00
Hey, everyone. Welcome back to On Purpose. Thank you so much for tuning in to another episode with me, your host, Jay Shetty.

00:04:01 Speaker_00
I am so grateful, so honored, and so happy that you chose to spend the next just under 30 minutes with me for one of our workshops. And today's session is all about what to do if you're still not over your ex. It might have been 10 hours.

00:04:21 Speaker_00
It might be 10 days, maybe it's 10 months, or maybe it's even 10 years and you're still not over your ex.

00:04:31 Speaker_00
You keep checking them out on Instagram, you're always asking your friends about what they're up to, maybe you even go back and look at their Facebook account, Whatever it is, you're still obsessed.

00:04:46 Speaker_00
You're still connected, and you're not able to truly move on. And when I talk about moving on, there's two types of moving on. One type of moving on is the type of moving on where we say we've moved on.

00:04:57 Speaker_00
When people ask us, we say, yeah, of course I've moved on. It's been 10 years. It's been 10 months. Come on, I'm over it. And then there's the moving on where

00:05:08 Speaker_00
the person becomes such a distant memory that we feel like it was another lifetime, like they were with a completely different version of us and that that part of us doesn't even exist anymore. And a lot of us want to get to that second place.

00:05:25 Speaker_00
That sounds enticing. It sounds exhilarating to think that maybe I could get to a point one day where the person feels like a distant memory. But I'm here to tell you this. It's absolutely normal to feel like you're not over your ex.

00:05:42 Speaker_00
It doesn't make you weak. It doesn't make you someone who's got it all wrong. It doesn't mean that you don't have a future. It doesn't mean that you'll never get over them, but it's extremely, extremely normal.

00:05:55 Speaker_00
And there's a lot of people who, after experiencing a breakup, can actually get sick. They can feel depressed. And research shows that that level of pain can actually be justified. It can actually be really difficult to move on from those feelings.

00:06:15 Speaker_00
And according to neuroethicist Nicole Vincent, the emotions you feel and build on in a relationship are brought about by a range of different neurochemicals. Now, this study blew my mind when I first read about it. So listen to this carefully.

00:06:34 Speaker_00
Some of the things that you experience when you end a relationship are not dissimilar to the withdrawal from drugs and drug addiction. Take a second to recognize that.

00:06:48 Speaker_00
Detoxing from drugs and disconnecting from an individual can have some similar experiences. When you're detoxing from drugs, you almost feel this

00:06:59 Speaker_00
connection to this thing and when you're disconnecting from a human you feel like you're actually craving them, right? They can be this craving, this yearning, this seeking, this searching, this wanting, and that's actually quite normal.

00:07:15 Speaker_00
Now, this statement is also supported by Professor Paxonos, who says, the suspicion is that some of the same chemicals that are involved in other neural rewards, such as eating, are engaged in presumably something like the withdrawal from drugs is happening when the person loses the loved one.

00:07:37 Speaker_00
That's what he says. Now, Vincent categorizes relationship emotions into attraction, which brings up chemistry and those types of feelings, and attachment and affection. And attachment and affection, he says, were actually created

00:07:55 Speaker_00
to, from an evolutionary perspective, to keep couples together so that they would actually stay together until the children were old enough to live by themselves. Fascinating to think about it from an evolutionary standpoint.

00:08:10 Speaker_00
Our chemicals were designed so that we would stay together so that the kids we have would be adults who could take care of themselves.

00:08:20 Speaker_00
Now that blows my mind because it just shows us that when you go through a breakup, you're now dealing with this extreme breakdown of chemicals. So now I'm hoping you have compassion for yourself. You have empathy for yourself.

00:08:33 Speaker_00
You also have compassion and empathy for maybe your friend who just doesn't get over that breakup and you keep looking at them going, come on, get over it now. It's been a time, right?

00:08:42 Speaker_00
Maybe you even sent this to a friend because you're like, Hey, I think it's about time you got over that breakup. Well, this is the reality of how difficult it is.

00:08:51 Speaker_00
And due to the fact that humans are now living much longer, that attachment and affection actually stops earlier, which is why we experience more breakups. Now, this is really, really important because

00:09:08 Speaker_00
What Vincent points out is that if someone's addicted to drugs, one of the biggest changes required is their circumstances, their surroundings, their environment. And I think this is something we often underestimate.

00:09:25 Speaker_00
We often underestimate how much a change of scenery can change our lives, especially when that scenery is connected to memories, feelings, and emotions.

00:09:37 Speaker_00
So actually going away for a vacation, taking a three-day break, taking seven days and going and living with your friend who just moved to the other side of the city or moved to the other side of the country can be massively beneficial, right?

00:09:52 Speaker_00
If you've gone through a breakup, And you're finding it hard to shake it off. It's so important to change your surroundings, to change your environment. And so many of us underestimate the power of what that can actually do.

00:10:05 Speaker_00
Now, listen to this because I'm sure all of you have seen this before, that places can trigger bad memories because the brain associates the place with a traumatic event or an unpleasant experience.

00:10:20 Speaker_00
Now, in the dating sense, it might actually trigger a positive memory, right? Maybe you always used to go to this one restaurant for dinner. Maybe you used to always go to this one theater. Maybe...

00:10:33 Speaker_00
You had your first date on this one street, whatever it may be. Right now, whenever you're on that road, whenever you're in that restaurant, whenever you're going into that store, you're thinking of this person.

00:10:45 Speaker_00
And that now creates, that positive memory creates negative emotions. The negative emotion of, I'll never have that again. Oh, how amazing it used to be. Oh, how wonderful it was.

00:10:59 Speaker_00
And research shows that the brain stores sensory stimuli from events such as sights, sounds, and smells. And when these sensory triggers are experienced again, the brain can actually reactivate the feelings associated with it.

00:11:18 Speaker_00
So if there was your favorite pasta or pizza that you used to have together, and now you smell it again, and all of a sudden it reminds you of that same emotion and experience, right?

00:11:31 Speaker_00
And we all go through this, but we don't think about changing these simple things. Changing our environment changes our experience. Like, let me give an example. It's nasty, but I have to be honest with you.

00:11:42 Speaker_00
I remember once going on a flight, and it was a long flight, like maybe it was like 10 hours. I think I was going from LA to London or something like that. And I ended up having a Thai green curry on the plane.

00:11:54 Speaker_00
And I think you already know where this is going. I had the worst food poisoning pretty much immediately after we had the meal, like when we just got on the flight. And for the next seven to eight hours, it was not cute. That's all I'm gonna say.

00:12:10 Speaker_00
It was not cute. And I must've visited the restroom like 20 times and I felt terrible for everyone else as well. I apologize if you were on that flight. Now, what happened was, I'm not kidding you. And I was just constantly, I remember shivering.

00:12:27 Speaker_00
And I was like, I need them to bring me blankets. And they had to, you know, they kind of believed me by the end of the flight one hour before. I remember Radhi holding the sick bag for me to throw up next to me.

00:12:40 Speaker_00
And the reason I'm telling you all of this is literally for the next week, whenever I got on a plane, I felt sick. And till this day, this was probably like five years ago. Till this day, I can't eat Thai green curry.

00:12:54 Speaker_00
That's how the brain messes with environments, right? That's literally how it works. I genuinely never want to be around a Thai green curry. If you invite me over for dinner, no Thai green curry, right?

00:13:05 Speaker_00
And I like Thai food, so it's got nothing to do with that. But my memory now of that experience, that scent, the look, everything is from that flight. That's what our brain is doing in a really deep way.

00:13:18 Speaker_00
When it comes to a pain or a pleasure that we shared with this person, we have the pleasurable memories. And we then have pain because of the pleasurable memories. So changing our environment is everything.

00:13:33 Speaker_00
There's a reason why we say block the account on social media, unfollow, right? Don't go hang out with the same group of friends. Don't go drive past their house. Don't go drive past where they work.

00:13:46 Speaker_00
Don't go and hang out at the places you usually go on to. Because all of it will trigger some pleasurable memory, which then will create an unpleasant feeling because it reminds you of that which you don't have anymore. It's as simple as that.

00:14:00 Speaker_00
Break that pattern. Break your habits. It's so important to break that pattern. Break that pattern of where you're traveling. Break that pattern of what you're listening to. Break that pattern of what you see, hear, smell, taste, everything.

00:14:15 Speaker_00
It's going to break that mental pattern that you've got lost into. Okay, I am so excited about this because we've got the first ever merch drop for On Purpose. It's finally here.

00:14:31 Speaker_00
And for World Mental Health Day, we're doing an exclusive limited edition drop with all the proceeds going to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, NAMI.

00:15:14 Speaker_00
But when you focus on your problems, it can keep you from seeing the good in your life. One thing that helps me when I need a change in perspective is acknowledging the small wins in life.

00:15:24 Speaker_00
I encourage my team to pay attention to small wins because it helps them see positive outcomes and the steps that they're achieving on the road to a bigger goal.

00:15:33 Speaker_00

00:16:07 Speaker_04
Just a few years ago, only 3% of domestic violence shelters accepted pets, meaning many abuse survivors had to choose between staying in a difficult situation for their pet or leaving their pet behind.

00:16:20 Speaker_04
One in three women and one in four men experience domestic abuse in their lifetime, and nearly half of survivors delay leaving because they can't bring their pets with them.

00:16:29 Speaker_04
Purina believes in the healing power of pets, particularly for survivors of abuse. they believe pets and people are better together, which is one of the many reasons they started the Purple Leash Project.

00:16:41 Speaker_04
Through the Purple Leash Project, Purina is helping break down one of the many barriers abuse survivors face, the lack of pet-friendly domestic violence shelters.

00:16:50 Speaker_04
Purina has helped increase the amount of pet-friendly shelters across the country from 3% to nearly 20% through the Purple Leash Project. With more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters, survivors and their pets can escape and heal together.

00:18:09 Speaker_00
Now, the other thing that we have to do after changing our environment, which by the way, I'm just really laying into because I don't think we do it enough.

00:18:16 Speaker_00
I think we say it, we hear it, and then we keep doing the same thing, going to the same places. But after that, we have to identify what we're missing. And we have to identify whether it's a habit or an emotion. Right now think about that.

00:18:34 Speaker_00
Sometimes what we're missing is the fact that every night at 8pm that's the person we used to call. First thing in the morning that was the first person we texted. That's a habit.

00:18:44 Speaker_00
We've built up a habit and now our mind reminds us of that habit in that moment every single time. So when it hits 8pm we're waiting for that call.

00:18:56 Speaker_00
We're now feeling all the emotions of not receiving that call, not hearing that person's voice, not hearing them say whatever we used to love hearing them say. And in the morning when we wake up, we don't have that morning message.

00:19:09 Speaker_00
That's a habit that we're missing. And what we have to do is we have to replace that habit. Otherwise, our mind will simply spiral. Our mind will go round and round and round and round again and again and again because that habit is not fulfilled.

00:19:27 Speaker_00
It's as if you expected the episode of the podcast to drop and you were just sitting there pressing refresh.

00:19:33 Speaker_00
You were waiting for the next episode on Netflix to come out and for some reason there was a glitch and you just kept pressing refresh, right? That's what our mind does.

00:19:41 Speaker_00
It keeps pressing refresh and then nothing changes because that person's not magically going to call. And now that habit is a cause for pain. We have to replace that habit. Who are you going to text instead in the morning? Right?

00:19:54 Speaker_00
Who else are you going to ask and say, can you please text me in the morning so I have a text to look forward to? Who are you going to call instead at 8pm?

00:20:02 Speaker_00
We have to find a replacement, a substitute for that habit, because otherwise that habit will turn into a spiral. Now, it may be an emotion that we miss. Maybe it was that you felt cared for. Maybe that person made you feel adventurous.

00:20:18 Speaker_00
Maybe that person made you feel confident. It's an emotional exchange that way maybe we've lost. We have to go and find that emotional exchange from ourselves, from someone else in our life, and from an activity.

00:20:33 Speaker_00
Right going to create adventurous places going to try out the reason why people say things like try a new class go to pottery class try a new trainer go to a new gym work on yourself it's really not the work on yourself it's the fact that you're getting to experience that emotion from somewhere else.

00:20:52 Speaker_00
You're building your confidence rather than waiting for them to say you're confident, right? You're building your own confidence and your own belief in who you are than letting someone else validate it. Let me do it.

00:21:06 Speaker_00
You're building your own confidence and belief in yourself than letting someone else validate it. So identify, are you missing in habit and replace it? Are you missing an emotion? Substitute it.

00:21:19 Speaker_00
These are great techniques and tools for you for the long term, even after a breakup. I often ask people to write down a list of what they really want in life. Emotions that you want. Adventure, excitement, surprise, whatever it may be.

00:21:33 Speaker_00
And ask yourself, who in your life gives you that? And if you keep drawing it to the same person or to no one, go and build a new relationship that gives you that. There are certain friends that I know are amazing for adventure.

00:21:46 Speaker_00
There are other friends that I know that are great for vulnerability. There are other friends that I know that are great to listen to me and hear me out. There are different friends for different things.

00:21:56 Speaker_00
And I think so many of us either rely on the same people for everything, or we rely on ourselves for everything. You know you're with the right person when they don't rely on you for everything and you don't rely on them for everything.

00:22:11 Speaker_00
They love the fact that you have other friends, other connections, family members that you open your heart to. And you respect the fact that they have people in their life that they turn to.

00:22:24 Speaker_00
You don't feel insecure about the fact that they open their heart to someone else but you and they don't feel upset about the fact that you may share your heart with someone else because what you truly want is for you and the other person.

00:22:40 Speaker_00
to feel supported, feel cared for, and ultimately, that you both want what's best for each other.

00:22:46 Speaker_00
I think one of the biggest things that we miss out on is that when you keep ruminating, when you keep spiraling, when you keep going round and round in circles, what you're doing is you're going deeper and deeper into what you don't have.

00:22:59 Speaker_00
And what you end up doing is taking up a lot of mental space, a lot of energy, that is taken away now from new things and new opportunities.

00:23:10 Speaker_00
When we use our mental space to think about could've, would've, should've, what if, if this, if that, what we're doing is we're stealing time from a new person. We're stealing space from a new opportunity. We're stealing energy from a new life.

00:23:29 Speaker_00
Why would you ever steal from yourself? When we're more obsessed with the past, rather than focused on the opportunities of the present, we're stealing from ourselves. We're stealing time. We're stealing energy. We're stealing growth.

00:23:47 Speaker_00
Don't be a thief in your own life. Don't steal from your own heart. That's what we have to realize we're doing when we're obsessed with an ex. We're stealing from our own life while they're building theirs. We're stealing from our own energy

00:24:02 Speaker_00
while they're sharing theirs. We're stealing from our future while they're living their present. Don't let a breakup break your connection with yourself. Focus on what actions you can take to build.

00:24:17 Speaker_00
You will be less focused on the breakup if you're more focused on building. Does that make sense? We get so obsessed with a breakup that we forget to build. We forget to create. We forget to organize. We forget to develop.

00:24:32 Speaker_00
That's the opposite of breaking up. The opposite of breaking is building. What are you building? Are you building your career? Are you building yourself? Are you putting the energy into building something?

00:24:43 Speaker_00
We're trying to manage the breakup, but what ends up happening if you're trying to manage the breakup is you just fall deeper into the breakup. The breakup is something that has to

00:24:53 Speaker_00
To some degree, naturally over time, be replaced by what you're building. It gets healed by building. If you just stay focused on the breakup for a long period of time, you actually take energy away from building. Now, if you're still not over your ex,

00:25:11 Speaker_00
I want you to know that you're not weak, you're not behind. And you have to remember that everyone who is today in a happy relationship once felt that they wouldn't get over their ex. It's such a natural feeling. It's such a natural emotion.

00:25:31 Speaker_00
It's so real and true. And everyone that you see today that has the life that you may want one day, at one point in their life felt that way about someone they went out with.

00:25:42 Speaker_00
And sometimes the reason why it's so hard is we feel we missed out on someone who is perfect for us. We missed out on someone who we feel had everything we ever wanted. But here's the thing. They didn't have the one most important thing that you want.

00:26:00 Speaker_00
And that is they didn't want what you wanted. You can want someone all you want. Someone can have everything you want. Someone can be everything you want. But if they don't want what you want with them, they're not for you. They're not yours.

00:26:22 Speaker_00
If they don't want you, it doesn't matter how much they have everything that you want. And I promise you that that's the key part of a relationship. When someone truly wants to be with you, when someone truly wants to care for you,

00:26:37 Speaker_00
