10 Steps To Heal From A Breakup
Breakups are tough and anyone who has been through them will agree.
There is no way to speed up the breakup process, but there are some ways you can help to alleviate the pain, get your head refocused and heal to become better than you were before it. Here are ten things you can do to heal from a breakup:
10 Steps To Heal From A Breakup
#1 Feel it out- yes this one is the least fun, but emotions are so fundamental in having healthy relationship. You need to feel things and let them out rather than suppress them and ultimately you will be better in the long run and won’t end up exploding later on. Play a sappy movie, listen to sad music. Sit in your emotions, but remember you control your emotions, don’t allow them to control you.

#2 Be surrounded by good people – it’s easy when we feel sad to sit and wallow in self pity, but once you have felt what you need to feel surround yourself with people who will be refreshing to you, people who want to see the best for you.

#3 Self Care- sleep, eat, exercise. When you take care of yourself you feel better about yourself. Allow yourself a day to feel and then get into a routine of taking care of yourself better.

#4 Journal – write down what you learned from the relationship and things you are grateful for in the relationship. It is our first response to go into a head space of negativity when we feel betrayed or hurt but know that it happened for a reason and just because it didn’t last doesn’t mean there wasn’t purpose in it.

#5 Have a refreshment day– do things that refresh your soul. For me that is being in nature, exploring a new neighbourhood or hanging with solid friends who refresh me.

#6 Social Media Detox – we all know the dread of seeing our exes instantly on social media after, stalking their profiles to see who they are following and creeping there content and it is such an unhealthy place to be in. If you need to take a social media detox then do it.

#7 Pray for them – yes you heard me right. Whenever I start having negative thoughts towards someone my first response is prayer. If I am busy praying for someone I cannot be thinking negative towards them.

#8 Write a Vision – Chances are you learned alot from this relationship. Things you liked, and things you didn’t. Use what you learned and write a vision statement about your future relationship. After all, If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.

#9 Try a new hobby – When you are busy living your best life you are hardly going to have time to spend moaning over something that wasn’t suppose to be.

#10 Set healthy boundaries – this may look different for people but I would advise no contact, no seeing each other and giving each other the space they need to to be able to heal from this.
