Sweet, romantic Tauruses hate change, and you can't stand switching partners.
You see every relationship as an investment, and you expect a return
on yours. As a result , your sign takes breakups very hard, and you may
not move on for a long, long time.
Taking space to heal is one thing, but getting stuck is another. Taurus, you must be extremely careful not to end up spinning your wheels. When romance doesn't go according to your plan, it's easy for you to grow bitter, endlessly rehashing all the energy you "wasted" on your ex. Like an angry bull, you grow more and more agitated until you're a ticking timebomb, ready to explode with rage.
Not only can this be frightening, it's also unnecessary. We know that change is hard, especially for a creature of habit like you. Try these simple steps to introduce positive change gently, and get back on track.
Change your daily environment.
Taurus rules everyday life and material objects,
so the things
you surround yourself with are key to your healing. Repaint your walls, put
new music on your iPod (stop replaying that mix tape your ex made!), buy a
scented candle, remodel your bedroom. Your senses hold memory. To stop
triggering painful thoughts, stimulate your senses with something new.
Create new habits.
Everything becomes
a habit for Taurus if done enough times. Thus, it's hard to tell if you miss
your ex, or if you were just "used to" him. While sameness bores
others, you love to come home to a comforting routine. Taurus craves
stability. Push yourself to create new routines and habits that provide the
same security your ex did.
Check your self-esteem.
Taurus governs the zodiac's second house of self-worth. Yours is easily rattled
by a breakup, despite your rock-solid appearance. Find support if you're
struggling. Our Taurus friend repeated affirmations to himself for weeks
-- a good technique, since repetition can change your brain patterns.
Move -- literally.
Admit it, Taurus, you can be lazy. You don't mean to be. A breakup
knocks you on your butt, then you can't find the strength to get off the
couch. Physical movement is vital for your recovery, Taurus. See your Fitness horoscope
