7 Essential Steps To Getting Over A Break Up

The initial period after a break up can be very traumatic and it is often a time when people encounter many problems. Painful memories, loss of appetite, feeling lonely and desolate are amongst some of the more common symptoms people experience at this time. To deal with this here we have listed the 7 best strategies you can use when getting over an ex:

7) Don't keep thinking about your decision. If breaking up was your decision then do not revisit the decision. Often when getting over an ex we make the mistake of remembering just the good sides and not remembering about all of the arguments, unhappiness and sadness. The chances are regardless of whose decision it was that the balance between good times and bad times had tipped in the bad times favour. Do not forget this fact. Draw a line under the relationship and start a fresh.

6) It is ok to cry, even the guys. Crying is a natural physical expression of your emotional sadness. Locking it away can be very detrimental and can cause later problems and mental anguish. Crying is a great release and very natural. As always mother nature knows best if, you were designed to be able to cry so do so when you feel like it.

5) Write down your feelings. Find a suitable quiet place and time for you and then just write down exactly what is on your mind, how you are feeling and why. Do not keep stopping and re-reading just scribble down all of your thoughts. After twenty minutes of writing, take a look back at what you wrote. The benefits of this are two fold. Firstly, most people feel a very cathartics release by doing this which is a big part of moving on and coming to terms with your situation and secondly, you may notice that the problems or issues that you thought were massive are actually not that bad and in some cases writing them down can even make them seem trivial if not at worst you will have clarified exactly how you feel and the reasons  why, this is useful because it takes away a lot of the confusion that is often rife at this time. from a position of understanding you can then make a solid plan to move forward.

4) Taking this a stage further is really worthwhile. Write down all the reasons your ex was not the correct one for you with examples of their behaviour that initiated the feelings that you didn't appreciate. The sub conscious will try to suppress these so it is important not o view your relationship through rose tinted glasses.

3) Freshen things up. Give your house/apartment a clean up and get rid or sort safely away any belongings or photos that are going to make you miss them every time you look at them. You don't wat to be constantly reminded about your previous relationship every time you walk into a room. By all means hold onto the good memories but you do need to move on, so getting these things out of site is important.

2) Take some exercise. Exercising is a great way to get rid of aggression and to help you focus. It is also scientifically proven to be a great mood lifter. Therefore going running, weight training taking workout classes or just a brisk walk around the park is a great way to unwind and also get some head space.

1) Let go! Accept what has happened, you might not like it but this is the situation and the present is the only thing that counts. If you keep all the anger frustration and heartache pent up inside then you are going to continually have those same feelings. Accept what has happened take your time to grieve and then refocus on other things such as work, friends, hobbies and so on. Do this whilst remaining positive and you will soon realise that the world isn't against you and that you will be happy.
