Love. Four words, one letter. A very simple expression, yet hard to figure out what it actually is. On one hand, it makes our life shine bright like a diamond, while on the other it fills our life with gloom and melancholy. Let’s talk about the gloomy part today. Finally, it is over. All the initial romantic dates you had, the long drives, the joy of cuddling and spending time together, the person you had you count on is finally out of your life. It is the beginning of the worst time of your life, the worst fear you had has come to life and now, you have no other option but to deal with it.
Trust me, I’ve tasted the bitter soup of breakup as well! The pain your heart is suffering as if someone has ripped it out from your chest is understandable. It might look like your life is over, but believe me, it isn’t. It’s true you’ve lost someone very dear and at this point of time you’re devastated. But also, there’s no better time to rebrand yourself than after a breakup. Of course, you deserve your mourning period, but you don’t have to continue to dwell on the breakup when your best self is waiting.
Here are some practical and beneficial tips to get over that heartbreak and trust me, it’ll help and you’ll come out as a better version of yourself.
1. If you’ve fully and finally ended things with them and you don’t have self-control on yourself, or you know you’ll be devastated to see them post something with someone else, just hit the Block button. Blom them from your Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and phone and stay away from social media as much as you can.
2. Lean on your loved ones for emotional and mental support. Don’t think if you don’t have your ex-es shoulder to cry on, you cannot emotionally purge yourself. Call in your besties and cling on to the people who love you. Tell them everything you’ve been holding on to and trust me they’ll make you feel much much better.
3. Take time to mourn. We understand you’re going through a tough time and you would like to stay alone for a while. Call in sick from work and sit and binge-watch those romantic movies and eat chocolate. Call your friends, your life saviours again, and spend some time with them. Get comfortable. Channelise your negative energies into something productive, workout, join a boxing class or something to relax.
