Getting Over Break Up Advice

Breaking up with someone can be a very painful process. In fact for some, it is the most painful thing they have ever done. If you are reading this article, maybe you are fresh out of a recent break up and are looking for some relief to your immediate grief. Getting over break up advice can be hard to find and so as the owner of a well respected relationship and dating website, I have come up with 3 steps to teach you how to get over a break up.

Getting over break up steps:

1. Let Your Feelings Happen – It is very important to feel your feelings right now. Let the hurt run it’s course. It usually is the worst for the first few days and gradually gets better after that. At this point, writing a grief letter to your ex can really help. Don’t ever send it to them but take the time to explore what you are going to miss and what aren’t you going to miss. What are you angry about? What are you sad about? What do you fear this break up means? What was your part in the break up? What are you always going to love or appreciate about your ‘Ex’. This can be very enlightening to the healing process.

2. Let Go of Reminders – If your relationship is truly over you must let go of things that remind you of them. This may sound harsh but what you focus on you is what you feel. If you continuously think of losing your partner – guess what? You’ll feel terrible. That’s why, once you’ve dealt with the real signals that the emotions give you, you must do as much as you can to focus your mind on things that please you. Take responsibility in getting reminders out of your environment. Pictures, letters, phone numbers, you don’t have to destroy anything just keep them out of sight. They are emotional triggers. Out of sight out of mind remember?

3. Have Some Fun -  As I said above, what you focus on you will feel. Write down a list of things you love to do. Whenever you start to feel sad, run and find your list and DO something that’s on it. Keep adding to your list. Dance around the room, call a good friend, listen to music so loud your ears hurt, you know what I mean. You’ll be amazed at how quickly this can work to change your mood. Usually the easiest and quick ones are the best to do in order to change your mood fast.

I wish you luck with this getting over break up advice. Knowing about what to do and actually doing it are completely different things so give these techniques a try. You will be pleasantly surprised!
