You already know that it’s not easy coping with a broken heart. It's easier said than done but don't dwell or become obsessed on the loss of your relationship. As you linger over your situation, you can feel your zeal for living decrease, right? So why waste time, energy and emotion on something that you have no control over.
Listen, relationships end for a reason. Even when you feel as though the relationship was the most complete relationship you've ever experienced, it clearly wasn't. Unfortunately, fixing a broken relationship is not all that easy. As Greg Behrendt and Amira Ruotola-Behrendt, authors of "It's Called A Breakup Because It's Broken"
I’d like to recommend 4 steps you can take to make the process of coping with a broken heart as painless as possible.
Let Out Your Emotions
Listen, bottled up emotions will eventually explode! So, you should let all of your emotions out. Yes, I mean every single one. Do this when you're alone in order to avoid public embarrassment.
Whether it is anger, sadness, joy frustration or guilt. Come to grips about how you feel, it's okay to cry. Write down your thoughts in a journal. Empty yourself of these emotions. Getting back on your feet requires the release of these emotions.
Get Out of Town or Go Out on the Town
Here's the story, once you release all those emotions you'll feel better. Now it's time to get out and restore that zeal for living. Whether it's out of town or out on the town, you decide which is best for you.
Go out with friends and enjoy some activities that will take your mind off of the ex. Ask friends to go out for dinner and a movie or go clubbing.
If you feel up to it, take an all-inclusive trip to the islands. You need to get out of the house maybe out of your comfort zone. Painting the town with friends is a good way to do so.
Meet New People
Meeting new folks is a must when you are coping with a broken heart. Getting to know knew people will be a new beginning, it will broaden your horizons and take your mind off of the past.
This is not to say that you should be looking for someone new to date. You should simply talk to new people and get involved in new activities.
If you happen to meet someone that interests you that's great! These casual situations can help you gain a perspective of new opportunities that will present themselves. Discovering what else is out there is a good way to get back on your feet after a break up.
Allow Yourself Time to Heal
This is an important step to follow. Give yourself time to deal with your heartbreak. Start a hobby of interest to you. It could be something simple such as reading some interesting books or a bit more complicated like learning how to draw caricatures, possibly woodworking. This will keep you busy and allow your mind to focus on something different.
Everyone would like to get over a relationship in a matter of days and some do. This type of turnabout isn't impossible. Give yourself time to release the negative emotions that you have but keep the positive feelings. Time heals if you let it.
Those of us who try to seal a cap on our emotions when coping with a broken heart may think that this will help to deal with the end of that relationship. When actually, bottling these emotions makes us a wreck, possibly causing extreme mood swings.
Go out with friends, meet new people, get rid of the excess baggage (emotions) and leave yourself some time to heal. These 4 steps will refresh you. I urge you to give them a try, you'll soon realize a few simple truths of coping with a broken heart and surviving a breakup.
Good Luck and God Bless!
