How to Get Over a Break up

If you have accepted the idea of non-reconciliation with your ex-partner, or if there is nothing else to do about it  and you just want to move on – this article is for you. It will show you ways, how to get over a break up for good. It is never easy to get over someone you loved, no matter how long the relationship lasted. Our feelings cannot be measured in time or space and at times impossible to explain why we feel the way we do. We just do!
We will now discuss frequently asked questions, when going through a break up.

Jumping quickly into another relationship, is it the best way How to get over a bad break up?

Not necessarily. Many people chose to “re-bound” over an ex-partner. Which means they will find a partner, to simply fill in the void. While it does help you shift your thoughts from your ex to a new object of your affection, sometimes jumping into another relationship right away – can make matters worse. You can date some people to give yourself a chance and distract your broken heart, but do not necessarily engage yourself in a serious relationship right away. Firstly, your new partner might wind up with a broken heart too, and feel used due to your actions, that are unfair. Secondly, you might postpone dealing with the lessons of the heart break, by “replacing“ your ex, and therefore wasting time instead of growing apart from the break up. The best way would be to date, but attach no strings, until you are totally over your ex-partner. This reminds me of a great book called It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken: The Smart Girl’s Break-Up Buddy

There are many ways how to get over a break up in months, and you will find the one that works best for you. If you have the means to go on a trip, I would strongly suggest you did, preferably alone. Far away, in an unfamiliar environment you will be able to look at the situation from a distance. The first days after a break up are the hardest, and you will avoid those painful reminders of the ended relationship, by discovering a new country/ state. Traveling broadens our horizons and you might come back as a changed person. If you can’t go on a weeklong trip to a new destination, then plan a weekend getaway with a good friend of yours. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, just drive away and book a bed and breakfast with a couple of good movies. You will be surprised to see how scenery can change our mental state. Give yourself a chance to recover!

Simple rules when it comes to getting over a heart ache include:

  1. At first, avoiding people and places directly associated with your ex
  2. Taking care of yourself physically by proper nutrition, physical activity and avoiding harmful factors such as alcohol, drugs and any excessive wacky behavior.
  3. Allowing yourself to feel the emotional pain, and realizing that everybody goes through this at least once. Without rubbing it in too much by listening to songs like “That`s why I’m crying ” by Koko Taylor…
  4. Reading at least one book on how to get over a break up. The more you read, the more counselling you get.
  5. Allowing yourself to love again.

Heart breaks do not kill, they only test our heart’s resistance and our soul’s depth.
