Understanding your feelings post-breakup

Whether it’s incompatibility or infidelity, getting over a painful breakup and the person you love is easier said than done. There is no switch that you can flip to go back to normal. It is a complex process, but you can find your way back.

Tips on how to get over your ex

We found a few ways to get over an ex so you don’t feel alone in this journey. Here are a few nuggets:

Keep yourself busy

A broken heart and an idle mind are no good when getting over an ex. Instead of dwelling on memories and past moments, focus on what you can do to feel better, such as work. Use your free time to indulge in a hobby, watch movies, read books, visit places from your bucket list and do everything you have been meaning to do all this while.

Don’t be hard on yourself

Be kind to yourself. The breakup is not your fault; there is room for change if it is. Two good people may not have a successful relationship, and it can be for a range of reasons that we may be unable to control.

Surround yourself with friends and family

The best way to feel better during such phases in life is to spend time with people who love you and can support you through this difficult time. Spending time with close friends and family can help you experience joy and laughter that can make you feel better about yourself.

Forgive the past

A wise person should not dwell in the past as it can hold you back forever. Remember the lesson you learn and use it as a tool for self-improvement. Forgive the past, use the lessons to avoid heartbreak and forge meaningful relationships in the future.

Take time to grieve the loss

The path to healing is acceptance, and grieving the loss of a loved one, even if it’s a breakup, is important to find closure.

Disconnect all communication

Do not try to establish communication with your ex. You may want to be friends, but now is not the time. Your feelings can make things bitter. Once you have moved on, you can choose whether or not you can be friends with no expectations from each other.

Don’t move on to another relationship too fast

Rebounds are often reckless, and it is usually true. Coming out of a relationship is not easy, especially long-term. Take your time, use some space and meet people when you know you have no attachment to the person you are no longer with. Otherwise, things can get messy.

Don’t forget to love yourself

Most importantly, love yourself first. So, look at the brighter side of life instead of rolling in self-pity. Take care of yourself, and the rest will fall into place. Moving on may seem complicated, but eventually, you will get over your ex. If you feel insecure or trapped or have difficulty moving on, then don’t hesitate to seek help.
