Do you feel like you can’t move forward because you haven’t taken that step to break free of your past? Is your old engagement ring gathering dust in your jewelry box because you just can’t bring yourself to part with it?

That ring used to be a positive symbol, but now it’s a reminder of your past. It’s time to realize that your old relationship is not coming back, and you are better off without it.

So, what can you do? You have the power to take charge of your life. Move on. Get rid of the old to make space for the new.

Your new story matters more than the old one…

The Negative Impact of Keeping Your Old Engagement Ring

We all know that around 50% of marriages in the US end in divorce, and this means you aren’t alone. When a person gets divorced, there are many things that remind them of their past, and one of the most powerful of these symbols is your engagement ring. Keeping the ring is an unhealthy trigger for:

• Reminding you of past relationships
• Keeping you stuck in the past
• Perpetuating a cycle of shame, guilt, anger, and resentment
• Adding unwanted stress to your life

Many of us find it extremely hard to pursue new and healthy relationships while holding onto such a big token of the past. You can’t enjoy your present life to the fullest, and any new plans that you make are tainted by this burden.

Unburden Yourself From The Past

Figurative Catharsis:

Selling your ring is a symbolic gesture of moving forward with your life. You are acknowledging that time has passed, and you’re getting back in sync with who you were meant to be. Selling your ring is a healthy way to:

• Remind you that the rest of your life is waiting for you
• Keep you facing forward
• Let go of negative emotions
• Release unwanted stress

Literal Catharsis:

Selling your ring = $$$ in your pocket

You can take the money from your ring and invest in a savings account or in stocks and grow the investment, instead of having it gather dust in your drawer.

Imagine this: you sold your ring when your divorce was finalized, and you invested the proceeds in Netflix and Google. Today, you are living out your dreams in a house on the beach, proud of how far you’ve come.

Catharsis is what happens when you decide to put the past behind you.
