How To Survive A Breakup
I’m often asked by my members just what steps can I take to get over a broken heart. How does one cope with the anguish a broken heart creates? A bad break up is one of those defining events that come about from time to time during our life.
Words can't fully relate the great sense of loss, one experiences after a break up.
So post break up, what can we do to relieve some of our suffering? What steps can you adopt to get you through this?
*As difficult as it may be, you must get rid of any physical objects that remind you of your ex. This may be the stuffed elephant you won at the carnival, or the watch she gave you for your birthday. Possibly its the photo on your mantle or even the couch you used to sit on. I don't care if its a reminder it must go..
*Don't see you ex. Depending on your circumstances this step should be reasonably simple to follow unless you work together or attend the same college. If this is the case then try and ensure your contact is kept to a minimum. In particular stay away from any situations that may oblige you to be alone with your ex.
*Avoid all electronic methods of contacting your ex. No matter whether it be a computer or a cell phone; you must avoid all forms of communication. Your instinctive desire is to turn to your ex when you are distressed but this is no longer an option.
* Get busy! Seek stimulation both intellectual and physical to push your ex from your mind. In addition there is nothing more likely to promote a decent night’s sleep, than some intense physical exercise.
* Get a new hobby, go on a holiday, perhaps take on a new project. Find something, anything to grab your focus off of your ex and to help you get over your broken heart.
* Why not start keeping a diary. It doesn't have to be only about your break up. It can also be about your hopes and dreams for the future. Remember in many respects you are starting a new life and a diary is an ideal place to record the journey.
Often things aren’t real till we write them down, it gives our feelings form and structure. This kind of order can be reassuring amidst the turmoil and torment of a break up.
*Make an attempt to meet someone else. They don’t have to be the “one”, they just have to satisfy your needs, even if it is short term thing.
* Don't be afraid of exploring the single life. I realise your self esteem has taken a battering but the things your ex found attractive about you, are still relevant. Others will recognize those same qualities.
