How to Get Over Your Ex

How to Get Over Your Ex

It really hurts when years of invested emotions, time, money and sacrifices all come to a halt through a text message or phone call. When a relationship ends, a part of you ends with it and all that is left with you are happy memories and the thoughts of what you could have done to make it work. Heartaches do not rest on physical pain, with that being said, you cannot get an antibiotic from a scarred infected heart or a pain killer for battered emotions. Emotions often run deep and it takes a few months or probably years to get over your ex. Here are a few ideas that you will find useful while you are trying to get over your ex:

No Stalking, Just Get Over Your Ex

It is common practice to wonder if the other party misses you, if they think about you and if they feel any ounce of remorse for making the mistakes they had. Its human nature not to want your ex to be happy and more often than not, you will find yourself stalking them on social media, asking the friends about them and worst of all trying to comment on his posts with an alias account. This only slows down your healing process and totally ignoring this and cutting all forms of communication will help you move on faster.

Distract yourself through a new hobby

I personally think most people are more focused after break up. Shoot Adele made an entire album from her pain after a break up.  Getting a new hobby that you and your ex never used to indulge in will distract you from past memories. The ultimate distraction will be a new hobby. Just throw all your effort into work and basically try new things.

Getting rid of memoirs

Photos, gifts, and other things that will remind you of the good times shared and a future that will never happen should be gotten rid of. Doing away with these things doesn’t mean stashing them under the bed or in your basement, it means burning, throwing them away and if maybe donate them to charity. Anything that will make that fire rekindle will stall your progress and make you think of your ex the more.

Cut Communication

This is by far the hardest thing you can ever do, especially if you were used to a sweet morning and night message every day. Depending on how bad the break up was, cutting communication may include blocking him from all your social media accounts, phone calls and any other platform. This helps to not think of your ex and it allows you to move on.

Breakups are nasty, people end relationships for various reasons and in more cases than one, they tend to be harder on one person than the other. With this said once you think you deserve better, there’s no point of looking back. Most people are often afraid of starting afresh with a new person but emotional stability is better than a stressful relationship.
