Kate Hudson, 45, took a break from men! She opened up about the year she gave up flirting and pursuing romantic relationships. In her 30's, Hudson decided to do the exercise at the advisement of her therapist to help her break the pattern of bad relationships.
"I took like a full year off. But it was great. I was at that place where I was like, 'I don't want to keep repeating any patterns anymore,' And I have a great therapist who was like, 'I can help you but you have to, like, do it.'"
Over the course of the year, she couldn't text guys or flirt, which is something she enjoyed. However, while it was uncomfortable, it was equally empowering.
"Strangely empowering, because it got very uncomfortable for me the first couple months. My mojo was, I was like... just felt like, 'What am I doing? I'm not me.'"
She realized the benefit of letting go of all of the men distractions.
"I had this one sort of breakthrough that was very emotional that I don't think I would have been able to access if I had any distractions. It allowed me to see things much more clearly and then within six months I didn't care about my phone. I didn't care if I was going out with my girlfriend, like, I wonder if so and so is going to be there, or like, we should call up so and so and then do that. There was no desire for me to be doing anything that had anything to do with potential flirtation."
After hitting the one-year mark, Hudson did not have the same reaction to men texting her and her attraction to certain men went away. For the next three years, she lived life happily single.
