Getting Over Your Ex

Have you ever asked yourself, why is it precisely the term “getting over “ that we most often use  when speaking of dealing with the “ex situation“? We rarely just walk away, which probably would be the soberest thing to do , we GET OVER. And it is perfectly explainable. A break up makes us feel powerless and weak, therefore in order to heal our soul and our pride we have to react. There is actually a great book that comes to mind which helped me a lot and my girlfriends, it’s called It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken: The Smart Girl’s Break-Up Buddy Whether you make peace or war with the situation, you have to face it. Some find it easier to simply start hating the ex-partner; recalling all the things they didn’t like about them, they concentrate their attention on negative aspects only. If this approach works for you, why not, but consider that you will lose a friendship by doing so as well.  Needless to say, it is not revenge that you shall seek but actions that will bring you to your old self, and an even better self, this time. Karma will take care of the rest.

Your ex-boyfriend is like an obstacle that you have overcome on our way to recovery, and personal growth. Getting over your ex boyfriend will become part of your personal history, therefore part of your individual wealth. To maximize the legacy of a past relationship, you’ll have to turn the Ex page, and not tear it out. While it is generally better not to burn bridges, if you can’t stand to never cross the friendship line with your ex again, you’d better keep your distance.

The time for getting over your ex varies from one person to another; therefore just take it one day at a time. Treat yourself with a little shopping spree, perhaps a full body massage or a new hobby. Keep yourself occupied and take your time to tighten family or friendship bonds. If you isolate yourself from the rest of the world and stay in bed all day you will only sink into depression. There are many ways for getting over your ex, you just have to pull yourself together, and do something about it. If you let sorrow take over you and don’t allow yourself to get better now, you will regret waiting so long before facing your demons and pulling through.

And remember that intense feelings make us discover the unexplored depths of our own hearts. You can go to the local library and get a book on getting over your ex. Whether it is poetry, or self -coaching guide, literature often helps to lead your thoughts in a different direction.

Allow yourself to blossom and realize that this was as much of a loss to you , as it was to your ex. The sooner you get over them, the sooner they will miss you. After all, we always want, what we can’t get.
