You have broken up.
Not too much of a deal right? After all, at one point or another, everybody has gone through the same ordeal.
And so far, most of those people managed to go through the whole experience.
With that thought, you try to move on by acting as if nothing has changed, like nothing big has happened.
However, no matter how hard you try, you find that "getting over" may be a bit harder than you thought.
Perhaps, missing your partner while watching romantic movies or while you are alone on a particularly cold night is something that is inevitable.
You sigh, knowing that you are practically helpless.
But here is the thing, you do not have to be the victim of this "getting over" phase.
There are things that you can do to help you recover.
What exactly are those? Here are some tips that you may want to try.
1.
Give yourself some time to fully understand the situation.
And during this time, it is okay to feel sad.
If you feel the need to cry, then do so.
Do not let anyone stop you from doing this because you need to release all the hurt from inside.
When you have let go, that is the only time when you can finally recover.
However, you should not allow yourself to wallow in this state for more than a week.
Ideally, the three days that you spend with your feeling should be enough.
2.
Clean out your closet and your room - literally.
This will be especially helpful if you are getting annoyed with his/ her stuff.
You can think of it this way, if you cannot see anything related to your ex, then you are likely to think of him/ her less.
And the less you think about them, the lesser pain you are likely to feel.
3.
Do things that will make you feel good about yourself.
Yes, you may be sad but that should not be an excuse for you to look bad.
Visit a salon and get yourself a make - over.
If shopping makes you feel better, then allow yourself to get a new dress or jacket.
You can do everything as long as it makes you happy because in the end, your new found happiness will be converted to confidence that you will need for tip number 4.
4.
Feel the joy of being independent again.
Glory in the fact that you now can do the things that you always wanted to do without any hesitations.
You can see other people again without worrying if he or she would not approve.
In short, you get to control your own life again.
Plus, do not hurry to be in a relationship again.
Wait until everything is done and until you are fully ready as committing prematurely will be unfair to the person you are going to have a relationship with.
Those are some of the tips that will help you move on.
Hope those will somehow make this tough phase of your life a little bit easier.
