20 Things You Can Do To Successfully Handle A Break Up

We all know break-ups are difficult. Some of us may have gone through them, whereas, some of us are yet to experience the pangs of sadness when we give all of ourselves to someone we love and we lose them.

Here are a few tips which will help you pacify your broken heart and get you back on your feet.

 

1. Keep a distance from each other, specifically on social networking sites for a while, even if your break up was amicable

Block or unfriend each other on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram so that you get a break from a constant update of each other’s lives for some time.

 

2. Don’t go their best friend’s party if you are invited

Instead, stay at home, get a tub of ice cream or popcorn and watch How To Get Away With Murder.

 

3. Do not get drunk alone. If you want to get drunk, call your friends over so that they can stop you from drunk texting/calling your ex

Tell your friends to seize your phone or chuck it into a volcano. Drunk texting does not do any good to either of you.

 

4. Do not isolate yourself from people who love you

Let your friends, family and even a few close co-workers in. Don’t think that your break up requires you to suffer alone.

 

5. Do not demand closure

Demanding closure may seem like the most natural thing to want after a breakup. You are bound to want an answer. But the fact is that you may not get an answer because there mostly isn’t one.

 

6. Begin a rage-infused workout regime

Working out hard will help you purge out all the anger or disappointment in your system. Although, don’t over do it. Know when to take a pause and say “Okay, that’s enough.”

 

7. Take frequent, relaxing baths

Taking baths can actually wash away all your tiredness from the emotional exertion the break up inflicted on you and make you feel more like yourself.

 

8. Go out, walk without a destination, surprise yourself

Don’t lock yourself in the house. Dedicate at least an hour in walking aimlessly around your neighbourhood. It might surprise you that life has so much to offer just by witnessing everyday scenes with a renewed eye.

 

9. Go on a house cleaning and uncluttering spree

Cleaning out the mess in your home will help you unclutter your mind too. 🙂

 

10. Get your life back on track instead of wallowing over it

Think of ways you can get yourself back from how much you invested in the relationship. Learn from the bad and cherish the good things about the relationship and just let go of bitterness.

 

11. Have a rebound with a hot stranger, if you must

A rebound doesn’t always hurt, especially if you don’t know where you stand for yourself. It gets you back to your senses drastically. Though, don’t let it go to a point where it starts hurting the other person involved.

 

12. If you start dating someone, try to take it slow

Don’t overindulge in fast-tracking a relationship that formed very soon after your break-up.

 

13. Don’t hold back them tears

Cry. Cleanse yourself.

 

14. Steer clear of sad songs, movies or quotes

Don’t take in all that shit.

 

15. Kill the hope that he/she will come back

That’s the worst mistake you can make. Stop hoping. It’ll help you move on and be happier.

 

16. Introspect and stop blaming each other and yourselves for what happened

Blaming is easy. Knowing and accepting your shortcomings is good and helpful in making your future relationships better.

 

17. Do not bad mouth your exes

Do not say bad things about them in front of friends and family. Bitterness won’t help you get over them, instead, keep reminding you of the worst times.

 

18. Get it all out on paper

Write about all your feelings.Write about the good things about the relationship and what you learned from it.

 

19. Focus on your best qualities

Keep discovering what is good about you and stay the same lovable self.

 

20. Do something nice for someone, perform an act of kindness. Or go have an adventure

Go ahead dear, discover yourself. 🙂

Trust me, you’ll fall in love again. 🙂
