5 Ways to move ahead and feel better after a Breakup

“When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive.” – Paulo Coelho

To get over a breakup from a serious relationship is emotionally taxing for any person. We put our emotions and time into the relationship. Hence, it is difficult to see a relationship that can be taken to the next level of commitment coming to an end halfway. For whatever reason, break up is a very difficult phase of life for anyone to go through. Stress, anxiety, depression, loss of hope and low self-esteem, etc. Come along with break up.

Sometimes you know a breakup is coming and you do all you can to avoid it, and other times you are caught completely off guard by your significant other decision to leave the relationship without any input from you. Whichever way your breakup goes, a relationship’s end can be crushing emotionally, psychologically, and socially.

One might struggle heads and toes to keep the relationship intact by working on it relentlessly, but things just don’t work and people get separated. Allow yourself to have mixed feelings. Even if the relationship was unhealthy, you need time to grieve. Accept and acknowledge feeling sad, angry, confused, frustrated, and relieved.

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.” – M. Kathleen Casey

1. Spend some time with yourself

Take some time for self-reflection. Sometimes, people change when they are in relationships. Figure out what you like best about yourself as a single person and focus on making that part shine. Stay physically healthy. You do not want your breakup to send you spiraling into bad habits such as drinking, binge eating, or obsessive exercise. Take care of yourself by eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, and working out when you can, even if that means just taking a walk.

2. Connect with family and friends

Turn towards your family and close friends. They are the people who love you conditionally and accept you for that. Rally your support network. Due to a breakup, you may lose some mutual friends, but that’s okay. Talk to your good friends, family members, and others who will stand by you during this difficult time. Seek the company of old friends. You may have let some relationships fall to the side while you were in love, but those friends have not forgotten you. Go out and have fun with people you like.

3. Stop stalking your ex

Try not to call, text, message, or follow your ex. This will be uncomfortable for both of you and it will not help you move on after your breakup. Make it clear to your ex that you wish to put some distance between the two of you. Sometimes, former partners think they can stay friends. While this might be possible down the road, the weeks and months immediately following your break-up are not good times to keep in touch.

4. Close all the connections

Discontinue talking or getting together with your ex’s family members. Stop overthinking about the relationship. It is over. Delete him or her from all your social networking contacts.

5. Discover new interests

Discover new interests. Learning something new is a great way to take the sting out of a breakup. Take cooking classes, learn a new language, start exploring photography or plant a garden. Explore the creative side in you. Learning new skills, investing in higher education, and being creative is an important tool to keep your sanity & get over the breakup depression.

Consider looking for a new relationship. Look for making new friends. But do not be in a haste or make any desperate moves. Be careful yet very open to meeting new people. Consider dating again. Make new friends if you are not comfortable dating just yet. Friendships can develop into something more romantic down the road. It is never too late or wrong to fall in love again. You have every right to start afresh.

“Be in love with your life. Every minute of it.” – Jack Kerouac
