subject: 5 Steps To Get Over A Relationship Breakup [print this page] Did your girlfriend walk away from your relationship? It's a sorry thing and you probably just want to move on. These are some ways to help yourself out. Face it, this isn't the easiest time in your life, but taking the following advice will help smooth out the rough places. Besides, if you just keep throwing yourself a pity party, nobody's going to attend except miserable you.
Get Over a Relationship Breakup Technique #1: Cut all lines of communicating with your ex, that's the first move. That means no phone calls, no emails, no anything. Communicating with her is just going to prolong your misery. You'll just get depressed as she rejects you further, while what you really need is to get on the ball. It will be best for you, and for her, the more space you put between you.
Get Over a Relationship Breakup Technique #2: Seriously meant - you must discard every iota of material stuff in your environment that reminds you that you were once together. If there are things you just can't pitch, for whatever reason, put it in a box. Out of sight. Out of mind. Everything in your place that belongs to her, get it back to her. Absolutely do not give them to her personally. Do whatever it takes to get them to her, but not personally.
Get Over a Relationship Breakup Technique #3: Your third step is to get out of the house or apartment. Call up old friends to renew old ties, or find some new friends. Being melancholy at home alone is not the way to treat yourself. You've got your life in front of you. Enlist the aid of family and friends. You'll have good company and plenty of friendly advice to get over your ex and maybe find a new perspective.
Get Over a Relationship Breakup Technique #4: Your fourth move is to divert your sensors from your pain. Find something to shift the way you look at life. There is a big wide world out there with a plethora of opportunities to explore, many of which can improve you health-wise, mentally, and even financially. Thus, you're improving yourself, and doing something worthwhile rather than sitting alone with the TV.
Get Over a Relationship Breakup Technique #5: "Forgive and forget," as the old adage goes, is your fifth and final ploy. Cut your ex some slack. Cut yourself some slack, so you can move on. Those are good ways to keep your life from bitterness and failure. What was, is gone. It's not the end of the world. Be positive. Looking forward. A positive attitude. Those are the best cures for pain. If you want your life to continue to be negative, hold a grudge against your ex. But, you don't want that. Forgive. "Que Sera, Sera!" Whatever will be, will be. You might hitch up with your ex again. Even if you don't, don't lead the rest of your life with bitterness. Forgive and be positive.
Breakups are tough but the preceding steps should help you along the road to recovery or, better yet, your road to being a better person.
