Ways In Dealing With A Breakup That Can Help You Move On

By Jose Stone


Being in a romantic relationship with another person is a feeling that is hard to explain because of the mixture of emotions possible. You would not only think now about just yourself but also about them when you make important decisions. Because doing so will not affect only you but also them either directly or indirectly.

But relationships end sometimes because of various reasons even when it was either a good or bad one. This is the reason people require assistance with dealing with a breakup to help in minimizing their negative emotions and thoughts. Being together for a long or short time is irrelevant when you measure how affected the person can be.

You should express first your feelings on what happened by talking to someone that you trust or write something about it. Suppressing emotions such as anger, rejection, disappointment, loneliness and sadness is natural to most people thought getting over them is not helped with this. Expressing them would make you realize what are the reasons for this to happen.

Individuals who experienced this usually either go over eating to make food their coping mechanism or over controlling in what they eat. Doing this is not healthy specially when you have no idea on how to do it properly. Be sure the food you are eating is nutritious and not those that are considered junk.

Start exercising if you did not previously exercise already before your breakup because your stress levels can be lowered by being active. This improves also the cognitive functions and mood plus it provides a good distraction away from unpleasant things. Be careful though in overdoing it as it might become a punishment or compulsive behavior instead.

Remind yourself of all the good things you have experienced in life because they might get overwhelmed by the negative experiences like this one. Your judgment may be clouded by this painful breakup and you could be focusing only on negative ones. List the things instead which made you grateful to shift your focus with positive events.

Do the things that you love to do even before this painful event has happened even though getting excited about these things is difficult. Force yourself in doing the those activities which can make you feel good such as having a massage or coffee with a friend. Watching comedy shows and movies also helps because laughter could boost mood.

Try the obsession diet that lets yourself obsess, indulge or write in self pity without reservation but with a time limit of five minutes within an hour. Immediately stop when you ran out of time and wait for one hour to start again and reduce its time limit every single day. You will realize then that your thoughts can be controlled performing an exercise like this.

Improve your well being and relieve depression by performing acts of kindness for others. You love may be channeled another way by giving back to those who need them. Helping others opens your heart and empowers you as well.
