How To Deal With A Break-Up

How to deal with a break-up Hey everyone, I hope you are well. In today’s post, I will discuss some helpful tips on dealing with a breakup and taking Care of yourself during this difficult time. Break-ups can be challenging and affect your mental and emotional health. Whether you were the one who initiated the breakup or not, it’s essential to take the time to heal and move on.

How To Deal With A Break-Up

Allow Yourself To Feel Your Emotions

The first step to dealing with a break-up is to allow yourself to feel your emotions. It’s okay to feel sad, angry, or even relieved. You may experience a range of emotions, and it’s essential to acknowledge and permit yourself to feel them. Don’t try to suppress your emotions or push them away. Instead, find healthy ways to express them, such as talking to a trusted friend or family member or writing in a journal.

Heal – Take Your Time…Just Not too long

Break-ups are hard to deal with, no matter how long the relationship lasts. It would be best if you took your time to deal with it. It can be a long or short journey; that depends on how long you need to heal. We all have different ways of dealing with the end of a relationship. Some people take months, even years, to get over it.

Cry it out, talk to someone, have a night out, a mini holiday, or go on a shopping spree. Do anything that makes you feel better daily. Whatever you do, know that dealing with break-ups has no limit. Until you can sit beside your ex-partner and feel nothing, as if they are a stranger again, that’s when you know you have dealt with it.

Do not take too long, though. If it takes you one year to heal from a breakup, it will take two years to get into a relationship. Think about it: one year of healing and rebuilding yourself, and you’ll likely get into a new relationship within the following year. So that is three years of a chance of pure happiness gone.

Take Care Of Your Physical Health

During a break-up, it’s easy to neglect your physical health. However, taking Care of your body can positively impact your mental health. Ensure you get enough sleep, eat healthily, and exercise regularly. You may also want to consider doing activities that promote relaxation, such as yoga or meditation.

Focus On Yourself

Instead of dwelling on the past and what could have been, focus on yourself and your goals. This can be an excellent opportunity to start a new hobby, take a class, or pursue a new career. By focusing on yourself, you can build your self-confidence and gain a sense of independence.

Love Yourself…Do Things That Make You Happy

Some people would advise you to try returning to how happy you were before you got into the relationship. That is not a good idea because if you were happier back then, you would not have rushed into a relationship. I would advise trying to discover a new way of making you happy. It is hard to get back to how you were after a breakup. Life is short; why do you want to go back? Try new activities, something out of your comfort zone, and travel to places you have never been. Make new friends and surround yourself with good people.

Cut Off Contact With Your Ex

Although it can be tempting to check in on your ex or try to stay friends, it’s usually best to cut off contact for a while. This can give you the space and time you need to heal and move on. It can also prevent you from getting caught up in drama or negative emotions.

Keep A Distance From Anything And Anyone That Was In Connection To The Relationship

Now, this is something we all do, and maybe not realise it is holding us back. I said, ‘keep a distance’, not ‘end it’. You start building a new life together when you are in a relationship. While doing so, you travel, make plans, and make new friends; his friends are now your friends, and her friends are now his. If the relationship was severe, you might have also met each other’s families. And then BOOM, the relationship ends; what now?

Keeping a distance between you and everything that reminds you of your previous relationship is a great way to heal and start again. Even though you have developed a new friendship with someone within that relationship, there is a good chance of remembrance how happy you were in the relationship, and then different emotions come flooding in. What happens after that is you will find yourself getting confused and start feeling guilty.

Seek Support From Loved Ones

During a breakup, it’s essential to have a robust support system. Reach out to friends and family members who you trust and who can offer you emotional support. You may also consider seeking professional help, such as therapy or counselling.

Dealing with a breakup can be challenging, but taking care of yourself and working on yourself is the best cure after a breakup. By allowing yourself to feel your emotions, taking Care of your physical health, focusing on yourself, cutting off contact with your ex, and seeking support from loved ones, you can start to heal and move on from this challenging experience. Remember that healing takes time, so be patient and don’t hesitate to ask for help when needed. Whether it is the confidence you lack, try to work harder on it. If your job stresses you out, get a new job or start a new career. Whatever you do, remember life is too short. Everything will always come to an end, so everything is temporary.

I hope you enjoyed that.
