To Love Or Not To Love?
Life is complicated, particularly in matters of the heart. Heartbreaks, breakup, and disappointment are inevitable, and every one of us has gone through the pain of losing love. Still, the sensation of your heartbreaking is overwhelming, so much that you want to do anything to relieve the pain.
Finding your support system and talking to someone who cares can bring catharsis in return. When someone is there, they will help to make you happier and stronger. But if you want to bounce back from a breakup, you need to follow a few tips.
Allow yourself to feel your feelings.
Going through a break-up can be very painful and very difficult. Don’t bury your emotions and pile up everything inside. It’s incredibly important to get the energy out. So if you’re feeling depressed, let yourself wallow for a bit. Cry, weep, shout, journal, do whatever you need to do to let your feelings flow freely.
It’s healthy to understand that a breakup is like some other form of loss. Five stages of mourning occur with loss: denial, rage, bargaining, sadness, and acceptance. And in your own time, you’re going to move through those in your own way. So don’t try to push yourself or listen to someone who says “just get over it.”
Cut off communication with your ex
There’s a scientific explanation why heartbreak hurts so much: you’re likely going through withdrawal-like effects following a breakup since the feel-good hormones you’ve got from your partner are gone. So impulses like wanting to call your ex, or checking their Instagram every hour are part of the normal withdrawal mechanism that occurs after a heartbreak.
But don’t let yourself be over-indulgent in excessive behavior. In the beginning, cutting off all touch is healthy. This helps you to sever your commitment to your ex-partner. That said, there’s no hard-and-fast guideline to get in touch with your ex.
Remember what sucked about them
A typical post-breakup approach is to idealize the other party. It’s not that you’re denying the positive aspects of your relationship, but you don’t want to fixate on it. So, write down all the bad points of your ex-partner/relationship and reflect on it on the reg. This conceptual exercise aims to counterbalance all the obsessive thoughts that you are prone to encounter around what you miss about your ex.
Create new routines and explore new interests
Know that the breakup is going to create voids in your life. Adjust your routine and schedule new plans with your mates. Now that you’re single, grant yourself permission to reconnect with old/new passions and try new activities as well. The universe meets us at the point of intervention, and if we try to heal, we have to take steps to recover.
Take good care of yourself
It’s normal to have negative feelings of diminished self-esteem and to wonder in what areas you’re lacking in that would lead someone to fall out of love with you. Instead, focus on what you truly cherish about yourself and what you’ve added to the relationship. Develop your self-esteem and nurture your self-worth. Exercise, nutrition, and sufficient sleep are key to ensuring you get through it.
Give yourself time to heal
It will take time for you to fully recover. Almost everybody feels they will never feel normal again in the midst of the break-up. But God has made us so to heal from the wounds. The stronger your feelings, the longer it takes to recover. But eventually, you will start to feel alive again, and you’ll have to embrace this new feeling.
You’ll finally be able to find closure and let it all go. Forgiving the person is going to free you from the burden, helping you understand and come to terms with your inner strength. Learn from your past experience. Start believing and seeing the separation as a positive shift in your life. Every ending leads to a beautiful beginning.
