TIPS FOR SURVIVING A BREAK UP




Whether you were dating for a few months, in a long-term relationship or married, breaking is hard to do. The good news is that life does get better.
Below are some tips to help you get over him and move on with your life.

·        Get it all out:       Cry, scream and feel sorry for yourself. Wallow in self pity. However, while you are wallowing, you will suddenly say, hey, I don’t feel like wallowing anymore, I think I deserve to be better. Believe me you will feel better and each day after, you will even fell much better. Soon, something amazing would happen, you will rediscover your smile and actually laugh at who you were back then.
·        Focus on today:  Take things one step at a time, one day at a time. If you start looking towards or thinking above next week, next month or next year, you will feel overwhelmed. Don’t look at the broader picture yet, temporary limit your view, so to speak.
·        Think positively: If you think you are bitten, you are and vice versa. Success begins with your own will, its all in your state of mind. Life’s battles are not always won by those who are stronger or faster. Sooner or later, the person who wins is the person who thinks he can.
·        Don’t stay bitter: People differ a lot both in character and otherwise. After my divorce, I became extremely bitter and angry. I did not trust anyone, particularly women, isolating myself, says a divorcee. Hey why not! No contact, no pain and no gain. Hear this, if you isolate yourself, you create an Island, but in the end, Island sinks. Being bitter is normal – its simply a stage you are going to go through. But move past it quickly.
·        Have no fear:      Don’t let your fears cripple you. Most times, what we are afraid of never come to pass. Other times, our fears are exaggerated. The more we worry, the bigger and the worse the fear or hurdle seems.
·        Do something new:       Slowly get involved in something new, be it a new job, volunteer work, anything you can think of. By keeping busy or focusing yourself on something makes you an independent being, the healing process will be a healthy process.
