Surviving the Breakup - Heal Your Heart and Get Your Ex Back
Has it been weeks or months since your breakup and you're still grieving over your lost love? Has your sleep, appetite, and work been suffering because all you ever think about is your ex? After a breakup we often dwell on what was said, should have been said, and what we could have done differently.
Surviving the breakup is brutal.
We truly experience a grieving process that only patience and time can heal.
If you're in that lost and lonely place right now, I hope these tips will help you.
If you're interested in getting your ex back, you'll need to take care of yourself first.
1.
Go ahead.
Cry! Don't hold back.
Shout, cry, wallow in misery if you must.
Toss his letters and photos or put them away.
Rely on your friends for support.
Get it all out.
I've found that these emotions often come in waves of anger one minute and sadness the next.
2.
Accept it.
It's over and there may not be anything that you can do about it.
You can't heal if you don't accept this.
3.
Exercise Thirty minutes of activity a day can improve your mood.
You'll produce endorphins which may make you feel better and may even boost your sex appeal.
4.
Grin and bear it if you have to It may be hard to leave your bed but it's important that you do.
Get out into the world.
Sometimes just pretending to be OK can lead you to believing your are ok.
Go gentle though.
You will have expected setbacks and crying jags.
5.
Adopt a pet Pets are an awesome diversion.
Taking care of someone else is good for us.
I found this to be incredibly helpful when I was suffering.
I adopted 3 dumbo rats.
Go ahead and cringe but they're sweet and cuddly and helped me through a rough time.
6.
Don't talk to the ex This is the hardest one of all.
They may be calling you constantly looking for reconciliation.
Now is not the time! Most relationships can be salvaged but you must heal and have your head on straight before even considering this.
More on that later.
7.
Be busy Is there a hobby you neglected because you were so wrapped up in your ex that you didn't find time to do it? When was the last time you had dinner with an old friend? Go to a movie, museum, bookstore, or mall.
Just get out there! Keep your mind occupied with something other than your ex.
You may find yourself pleasantly surprised that he/she is not dominating all of your thoughts.
