Get Past The Pain Of Your Breakup

Your relationship with the one you love has been destroyed. You life is in shambles. You are met each morning with the dread that indeed it is not a dream and you try going back to sleep hoping that you will wake up to find that it is just a terrible nightmare. You wish that the pain would just stop. You wish that they would either show up at your door and ask to come back or that you could somehow fast forward to a time when you didn’t feel the very real pain in your chest from your broken heart.

As you stand at this crossroad in your life you have two choices. You can either pick up the pieces of your life with the intent of moving on or you can fight for the love that still burns in your heart. Fortunately, both paths run in almost parallel directions and that direction is away from the pain that you feel right now.

But how do you stop the pain? When will you finally feel ok? When will you be able to laugh again? Well, there are things that you can do to help alleviate this pain. As a word of warning though, drinking will not alleviate this pain and typically causes more problems in the long run so until you are back on your feet abstaining from alcohol might be a good idea. Typically, a drunken night will only make you feel worse and make you vulnerable to doing stupid things like drunk dialing your ex or showing up at their door. What might seem like a good idea when you are under the influence is usually not such a great idea when you’re sober.

Exercise – If you don’t exercise regularly why not start now? Vigorous exercise releases chemicals in your body that will make you feel good. In addition, given some time exercising will improve your overall health and the look of your body. Wouldn’t it be great if your ex saw you after a month or so of exercising? You will look better than they remembered and chances are they will find you more attractive than they did before. Can you almost hear your ex asking themselves why you got so hot after they broke up with you. The wheels will begin to turn and they might even wonder if you have found someone else and become motivated to reconnect with you.

Dating Sites – You don’t have to create a profile or actually get out there and begin dating again but some time spent looking over profiles on an online dating site might help you to realize that you do have many, many options out there. There are literally millions of potential mates on the face of the planet. There are a lot of lonely people on the face of the planet looking for someone just like you. Peruse some of the popular dating websites when you have some time until you realize that your ex is not the only fish in the sea. Imagine what it would be like to be with someone else…someone exciting and new…someone attractive that would appreciate you and your love. Of course, your heart still belongs to the one that you love but just realize that if things don’t work out you do have other options… but acting on those options are a ways down the road.

Be Kind To Yourself – Treat yourself well and be kind to yourself. If you are hurting give yourself time to grieve but be careful that you don’t devote too much time to feeling sorry for yourself. It is easy to get into the habit of sitting around the house isolated while you wait for your ex to come back to you. Take advantage of this time and do things for yourself. Make a deal with yourself to buy yourself a present ever week and treat yourself to a dinner out at a restaurant of your choosing. Be patient with yourself as you go through this process and don’t rush yourself but still strive to move forward every day in your healing. You will always be the best friend you will ever have and you deserve to be happy.

Self Talk – Try not to spend too much time taking to heart any hurtful or mean things that your ex said during your breakup. Sometimes when people are angry or unhappy they will lash out at the ones they love and say some really terrible things. Some of your ex’s complaints are probably pretty ridiculous so try not to take them to heart. It might be tempting to make a list of all the things that your ex complained about and then decide to change all of those things in hopes of bringing them back. Of course, if you do have a problem that needs to be addressed by all means take care of that. Anger issues or a drinking problem should not be ignored not just for your ex’s sake but for your own well being. But don’t spend too much time sweating the little things, especially any absolutes or labels that they tagged you with such as saying that you would never be successful or that you will always be a loser. Such words are just mean and given time they will regret being so nasty. You are not a loser and given time you have the ability to be successful at anything that you desire. Trust me on this one.

Given time the pain will subside all on its own but by following some of the advice given here you can definitely speed up the process. It is going to take some effort on your part to follow this advice but in the long run it will be worth it. It is easy to just sit and grieve the state of your relationship with your ex and it takes effort to pull yourself together. But when the day comes that you bump into your ex or when they do get back in touch with you again you’re going to want to be in tip top shape. So put in the time and effort and be good to yourself. You’re worth it…
