After breaking up your mind is in shambles.
It's hard to think, eat, and do much of the things that seemed so normal and easy the day before.
Breakup pain really takes it all out of you.
You need something to help make the pain go away, something to help ease the pain of the breakup even if for just a little while.
I'm going to tell you some of the more effective ways you can cope with the pain of breaking up.
Have a Guys or Girls Night Out.
This actually sounds pretty obvious, however, the last thing you feel like doing is having a good time.
You probably would even feel guilty about doing it.
Don't worry, it's not wrong to want to have fun and is OK to.
This is one of the most effective ways to ease the pain and you may end up having several nights out with your friends if you think that's necessary.
Take it easy on the alcohol though, it's easy to get pulled in, but you may end up drunk dialing your ex and having an embarrassing one-sided conversation with their voice mail that you can't take back the next day or even may not remember ever doing.
Try to stay active.
Sign up at a gym and work out, go bike riding again, run.
Keep your body busy.
You'll find that some of your anger, frustration, and heartache is worked out by doing physical activities.
This will also improve your appearance which can attract the attention of others.
After breaking up it's easy to neglect your appearance, but keeping to it is important both for yourself and for your ex should they see you looking good again.
The possibilities are endless for what you can do ease the heartache.
The important thing is to get out there and do them.
Distracting your mind is a great first step to allowing time to do it's thing and heal you.
After some time getting your mind away from your ex, you then can decide whether or not you want them back.
