Separations are the most heart-breaking thing in life. It does not matter whether it was a short-term blazing affair or months of meaningful relationship, the break-up of the relationship may make you feel lost, heartbroken, and overwhelmed. However the good news is? You are able to recover. You are going to have a move. And life will improve. This week, in this blog, we will consider 10 powerful ways to move on after a breakup and get back to building a happier, stronger person you.
1. Allow Yourself to Grieve
Foremost, do give yourself the right to feel. It is more favorable to suppress the emotions, however, this does not help heal faster. Sob, tear, moan, grunt, sniffle, mewl, wail, blubber as you may. Write an expression of your feelings. He or she can talk to a trusted person. It is important to take into consideration the pain, as a vital component of the recovery cure. It is not your fault to be broken, it is the feeling of being human.
2. Cut Off Contact (At Least Temporarily)
Keeping in contact with your ex might seem like a good idea but it normally ends up opening wounds. Stop following them on social media, get rid of their number, if necessary, and avoid checking in. Space will create room to concentrate on you, not the past. In the process of healing separation is the thing to remember.
Grief can cause you serious mental, emotional and physical problems. It is the moment to start caring about oneself. Sleep enough. Consume healthy food. Exercise regularly. Use meditation or write a journal. It is more important than ever to take care of your health, and treat yourself as you used to treat your other half.
4. Don’t Romanticize the Past
Reliving of a pleasant memory is normal after a break-up but this may form a false picture of the relationship. Remind you of the reasons as to why it broke up. Take a look at any unhealthy or incompatible patterns. There is a reason as to why breakups occur - highlighting only the shining moments obscures the reality of the situation and does not help in overcoming it.
5. Stay Busy and Engaged
Doing nothing usually encourages rumination. Stay sharp using hobbies, trying something new and learning. Find positive distractions- enroll in a course, go somewhere or volunteer. The less you get engrossed in life the more your heartbreak will have influence.
6. Lean on Your Support System
Do not put yourself in a vacuum. Talk to your friends or family or a therapist about what you are experiencing. In some cases, listening alone is good enough to remove some burden out of your chest. Having people around you that do care can give you some comfort, some sense and even some giggles in-between.
7. Avoid Rebound Relationships
It may be difficult to heal when you rush into another relationship. Take time to find yourself again out of the relationship. A rebound may fill the empty gap, but healing does not actually happen within because the other person is not the cleanser.
8. Rediscover Yourself
It can turn out to be the beautiful time of self-development. Question: What brings me Joy? What are the goals that I have delayed? What sort of life are you planning to create within yourself? Make this time to re-discover your hobbies and interests, re-gain confidence, and re-model your identify as simply a person and not a part of your relationship.
9. Forgive and Let Go
Anger and resentment will keep you locked up in the past. Forgiveness is not defending the wrong no matter whether you were being hurt, betrayed, or blindsided. It is about liberating yourself of the pain. Release those things you can do nothing about, and master those things you can: your future.
10. Believe That Love Will Return
A break-up is like a cliff-hanger: once you get out of it, you think that you will never feel loved and you will not love again. Love however cannot be the once in a lifetime thing. You will discover somebody to like, respect and agree with your values. Until that time, make your heart heal and fear taking confidence that what is meant to be, then it is still ahead.
Final Thoughts
Recovering after a separation is not about forgetting a person or acting that you are doing all right. It is about recovery, growth and becoming a better person. There is a chance of growth and fresh start with every heartbreak. Show yourself some patience, one day at a time, and always keep in mind, you have already survived 100 percent of your worst days so far. This one will not crack you, either.
