How Do You Get Over An Ex?: Overcoming The Break-up & Moving Forward!

 

So you’ve been in a relationship and things didn’t turn out the way you’d expected them to. Your partner has just walked out on you and you are stuck in your past and seem to be in a somewhat never-ending limbo! Does this sound familiar? This is a very real and normal scenario for many! When you are in a relationship with someone who you’ve become so used to and then when that person is no longer a part of your routine, it’s very natural to feel the void and feel stuck. However, sooner or later you need to come to terms with the situation. Yes, your partner’s no longer a part of your life but why punish yourself by closing all the doors for yourself? Whether you’ve had a divorce or whether your longterm partner has walked out on you, whatever the past-relationship with your ex, the steps to overcoming the break-up are pretty much the same.

4 Steps To Overcoming The Break-up: 

1. Acceptance- Accept the fact that the person is no longer in your life, the sooner you realise and accept this, the better it is for you. After all, you need to cross out your ex forever! Don’t harp over why & how and what you could do to change the past as it’s over. Keep the past behind as it’s time to move on and look forward to the future.

2. Work On Yourself- Improve yourself and try to be the best version of you. Whether it’s a fitness plan you had in mind or an art class you wanted to take. Focus on yourself and do the things that make you happy, this way you won’t have time to loiter in the past. Remember you need to love yourself first, above everything else!

3. It’s Okay To Grieve- Grieving is a natural process a person goes through to get over their loss. As difficult a period it may be, just remember that time heals everything. With time you will get over your ex, even though it seems impossible. Also, be easy on yourself and remind yourself that something better out there is waiting for you! Not necessarily someone, if relationship isn’t what you’re looking at! Just remember, positive mind and thoughts work wonders.

4. Don’t Rush Into Another Relationship- Rebound is definitely not the way to go about! It’s okay to get to know someone before getting into a relationship with them, but jumping into a relationship with the next available person is the worst thing you can do! If you’re looking for someone to save you or finding yourself getting emotionally involved too quickly or spending more time looking for love rather than focusing on yourself, then you’re in trouble! Talk to a close friend who would help knock sense into you!
