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

By Jose Stone


Being in a relationship that is romantic with someone is an unexplainable feeling because there would be a mixture of emotions. You will not think only about yourself anymore but about them also when important decisions are made. Because doing so does not just affect you but them also, either indirectly or directly.

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.

First thing you should do is to express what you feel either through talking to a friend you trust or in writing them out. Suppressing the emotions of loneliness, sadness, anger, rejection is the natural impulse of most people but doing so does not help you move on. Doing this will make you realize why it did not work and why being not with them is better.

Individuals which experienced this usually overly controls their food intake or eats too much of them as their coping mechanism. Doing this while having no idea of the proper way that it should be done is not healthy for you. Be sure you are eating a balanced diet with all the nutritious food possible while avoiding the junk ones.

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 about everything good that has happened in your life because these experiences can be overwhelmed by one negative event. This is because painful breakups may cloud your judgment and making it almost impossible to not focus on negativity. Listing the things you are grateful for helps in shifts your focus towards positivity.

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 to perform an obsession diet which you can write, obsess or indulge in self pity all you want but within a limited time only. Start with five minutes an hour and stop immediately after the time runs out and start again after an hour while reducing the time limit every day. You will then realize that your thoughts could be controlled with this exercise.

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.
