How to Clear Space After a Breakup – A Ritual for Moving On

Part I of the “Get Back on the Horse” Series

Hey Guys,

Let’s be real … breakups aren’t bloody easy.

Whether your relationship ended last week or five years ago, old love has a way of lingering. The memories, the patterns, and the questions you continue to ask yourself can persist even when you think you’ve moved on. Some people push through the pain, others seek distractions, and some try to bury their feelings and insist, “Yeah, nah … I’m fine.”

But here’s the God dam truth no one tells you:

You can’t start fresh if you’re still carrying emotional clutter.

Not just in your heart… but in your bedroom, your phone, your mind, and your energy field.

So …today, I want to share something powerful with you: a straightforward, grounded ritual to help you clear space — both emotionally and physically — after a breakup.

This isn’t about dwelling in the past.
This is about making room for something much better.

Let’s get into it.

Why Clearing Space Matters (Even if You Think You’re “Over It”)

There’s a reason you feel heavy after a breakup. Even if it ended on good terms. Even if you were the one who walked away.

When we’re in a relationship — especially a sexual one — there’s an energetic imprint left behind.
Your nervous system stores memories. Your subconscious stores emotions.
And your physical space? It holds onto everything unless you tell it otherwise.

Here’s what that can look like:

You find yourself thinking about her randomly

You feel drained, flat, or uninspired

You attract the same kind of woman again (and again)

You’ve got a drawer full of old stuff you never look at — but haven’t tossed

You’re avoiding intimacy altogether… or hey … jumping into it for distraction

Sound familiar?

This ritual will help you release what’s no longer serving you — so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and clean energy.

You ready?

Step 1: Clean the Physical Space (Yes Mr, Literally)

Let’s start with the obvious.

Go through your home — especially your bedroom — and get honest.

Do you still have:

• Clothes she left behind?
• Gifts or keepsakes?
• Photos, cards, or letters?
• Her shampoo in the shower?
• Screenshots of old messages or together photos on your phone?

If yes — it’s time.

This isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about honouring what was, and releasing what’s no longer aligned.

Create two piles:

1. Let Go – anything that holds emotional weight, tension, or attachment.
2. Return – things to give back only if valuable or important (not a reason to see her — drop them off or post them)

Then gently, respectfully, remove the items from your space.

Put them in a box. Donate them. Recycle. Burn the letters if you need to. But do it consciously.

As you move through each item, say to yourself: “Thank you for what this gave me. I release this now.”

***Your physical space should reflect your present — not your past.***

Step 2: Clean the Digital Space

This one’s often overlooked — but it’s crucial.
Your phone is a storage vault of emotional residue.

Here’s what to do:

1. Delete old texts and photos
2. Unfollow or mute her on socials (if you haven’t already)
3. Clear the chat history
4. Remove saved messages or drafts
5. Archive anything you need to keep for legal/logical reasons — then move it out of sight

Why it matters:

Every time you scroll past an old photo or message, even subconsciously, your nervous system flinches. It’s like a micro-trigger.

Freeing your digital space is freeing your mind.

Step 3: Write the Letter You’ll Never Send

This is the most important part. Once the space is clear, it’s time to release what couldn’t be said.

Set aside 20–30 minutes. Grab a pen. And write a letter to her.

You can include:

• What you appreciated
• What hurt
• What confused you
• What you wish she understood
• What you’ve learned
• What you forgive — and what you still struggle with
• What you want to release
• What you’re taking with you

Be honest. Be raw. Be complete.

And then — don’t send it.

This letter is for you. You can burn it. Shred it. Read it aloud and bury it. Whatever feels most powerful.

Why? Because writing is a powerful energetic release.

And once it’s out of your system, you’ll feel lighter. Clearer. More grounded.

Step 4: Breathe Into Your Next Chapter

Once you’ve written your letter and cleared the physical and digital clutter, take a moment to mark this shift.

Sit somewhere quiet. Place one hand on your heart. One on your belly.

Yes, it’s a little woo woo — but please believe me … rituals are frickin powerful things!

Breathe deeply for 3–5 minutes.

With each inhale, say to yourself:
“I’m calling my energy back.”
With each exhale, say:
“I release what no longer serves me.”

This simple practice activates your parasympathetic nervous system (your calm state) and supports real integration.

You’re not just cleaning a room — you’re rewriting a chapter.

Bonus: Invite in What You Do Want

Grab a fresh page.

Write out what you now want to call in.

What kind of connection?

What kind of feeling?

What kind of energy in your next relationship (or in yourself)?

You don’t have to know everything. Just feel into the kind of man you want to be — and what feels aligned.

This becomes your new focus. Your new standard. Your new magnetic point.

You’ve just made room for it. Now let it come.
