How to Recover From a Breakup

They say that breaking up is hard to do. Getting over the breakup shouldn't be. This is not always the case. No one is immune to the emotional turmoil breakups can bring. A bad breakup can rock even the strongest foundation. It may even endanger future relationships. Whether she broke it off, cheated or just decided she no longer wanted to be in a relationship, move on with confidence and overcome the breakup.

How to Overcome a Breakup 

1 - Do not beg her to get back together with you

This is the most difficult part of the breakup. It is tempting to make that one phone call or drive by the house just to say let's start over and work it out. Remember that the breakup happened for a reason.

2 - Accept the fact that the relationship is over

This is especially true if she has cheated or was the one who broke off the relationship.

3 - Cry. It is okay to cry

Grieve your loss. Think about all the good times and the bad times. Think about what led up to the breakup. Think about her incessantly until you are tired of thinking about her. This will lead to the healing process.

4 - Get out. Spend some time with friends and family

It may be more beneficial to attend events where there are several people to keep the mind off the breakup.

5 - Return to your old life

There was life before her and there will be life after her. Start doing the things that made you happy before she came along. Learn that life can be enjoyable with or without someone.

How to Recover From a Breakup

Recovering from a breakup can be painful, and the best way to do so is by giving it time. Allow time for expressing grief after a breakup 

Breaking up is a very painful experience, whether or not you initiated the break up itself. You will find that the structure of your life has probably changed, and you're missing a person from your life who, for better or for worse, was part of your life until now. So, don't rush yourself. Give yourself enough time to recover emotionally from a break up.

It is very important to be able to process the experience 

You probably have some baggage and some very painful experiences. So it is important to allow yourself to express these difficulties and to express the pain and to allow yourself to mourn for a relationship that is over. 

So take the time to talk to your friends, your family, perhaps even a counselor, or to write down your thoughts about the break up and what you have learned from it. These are all tools that you can use to deal with the emotions that come up and to process the events that have happened. 

Try to keep yourself busy

Now, another important step to recovering from a break up is to keep yourself busy. Don't make life stop. Don't end all your activities with your friends. Don't stop going to work. Make sure that, as much as possible, you keep to your regular routine that you had before the break up.

It is also a time that you can probably use to start doing something new, to treat this as an opportunity that you now have time to do things that you didn't have time to do before. So take up a new hobby, finish some of the tasks or chores around the house that you didn't have time to do before, connect with old friends, take up a book, watch movies that you never saw. 

So try to keep yourself busy. And try to keep your life flowing as it was flowing before. So the two main steps in order to overcome or to recover from this painful experience is: 1. to process it, to give yourself the chance to deal with these emotions, but on the other hand, to not let it take over your life.
