"Love Is Blind" star Jarrette Jones is already beginning his healing journey!

Last week, Jones and his wife Iyanna McNeely, who met and fell in love sight unseen on the second season of Netflix's reality series, announced they had come to the decision to part ways.

The road to the altar for the couple had been a bit rocky. Not only were their different personalities evident from the get-go, but McNeely also struggled to reassure herself that her man was fully committed to their relationship; Jones had also formed a meaningful connection with fellow contestant Mallory Zapata before she had decided to pursue Salvador 'Sal' Perez.

McNeely commented, "That's right. Live your life" she also included hand clapping emojis after each word. As of this writing, McNeely is still going by her married name on Instagram, as well!

Healing isn't all about posting aesthetically pleasing photos on social media and having our ex encourage us in the comment section, however. Sometimes it's necessary for us to take a moment of solitude for ourselves and turn to sources of comfort.

Earlier this morning Jones did just that. He shared a series of helpful reminders on his Instagram story.

The numbered list contained six important pieces of wisdom to remember.

It reads, "1. The past cannot be changed, 2. Opinions never define your reality, 3. Everyone's journey is different, 4. Things always get better with time, 5. Judgments are a confession of character," and the sixth and final reminder said, "Overthinking will lead to sadness."

At the bottom of the post, Jones added text which says, "Somebody needed to see this."

Was Jones talking about himself? Regardless, these tips are fitting for anyone's healing journey and can serve as just general reminders for navigating daily life!
