Tessa ReneeBreakups leave residue, it’s like a weight you can’t quite shake off. Their energy lingers in your playlists, in your morning routine, in the quiet moments you swore would be yours again. That’s where cardio for the soul comes in. It’s not just about running; it’s about deliberately creating distance between you and the parts of them that still echo in your life.
Think of it this way: every mile you put behind you is a memory you’ve outrun. Every sprint is a reminder that you can move faster, lighter, freer without their shadow hanging over you. It’s training for your heart in the same way a treadmill trains your body, step by step, sweat by sweat, until the old weight starts to fall away.
Some days, it’s a slow jog, you’re not escaping, just pacing yourself through the ache. Other days, it’s a sprint, blasting past temptation, rage, or the urge to check their socials. The beauty of cardio is that it always moves you forward, even when the pace changes. And that’s what healing is: motion, not stagnation.
Your ex doesn’t deserve your energy, and they don’t get to set the pace of your recovery. That finish line? It belongs to you, not the ghost of what was. Run from their energy, but more importantly—run toward your own.
Tessa’s Final Thought:
Your lungs may burn, your legs may ache, but nothing feels lighter than running free of their weight.
