Breakups are hard and can be very damaging for your overall personality and wellbeing. When you are going through a break up you think that there is no end to your pain and you will never be able to get over it, but that is not true. There are a few things that can really help you in getting over a breakup quickly. Let’s go through them one by one.
1. Acceptance- It doesn’t matter if your relationship was 5 months or 5 years old; when you are emotionally involved with someone it might take you some time to accept that it’s over. But once it is over, accept it. Don’t trick yourself into thinking that things are going to get normal between you two. Whoever ended it or whatever the reason was, the truth is that it has ended and it would be better if you try to move on with your life instead of getting stuck at it.

2. Don’t force yourself– Yes, you need to get over it but then you don’t have to be too harsh on yourself. Try to get over it but do give yourself some time. The feelings will fade away eventually but it will take some time. A broken heart and shattered feelings are no different than a wound and will take some time to get healed. Try to comfort yourself by doing things you love or by eating your favourite food.

3. Think positive- Whatever happened, you were not at fault for it. So do not blame yourself for it. Also, do not hold any grudges for the other person as well. We are all humans and everyone make mistakes. No need to hate your ex or curse them. remember that he or she is the same person you were madly in love with once. So there is absolutely no reason to hate them. Sometimes situations are such that things just don’t work out and you have to end a relationship. Just accept this fact and try to move on.

4. Indulge in self-love- When we are in a relationship, it is always about “us” or “we” and never “me” or “I”. Now that you are single again you have a lot of time for yourself. You can do things that please you or you love doing. If you love movies, watch them more frequently or if you love pizza, order a large cheese-loaded pizza and eat it alone. In a nutshell, just do things that make you happy.

5. Spend time with your friends- This is the inevitable truth of every relationship that once we are into it, we side-line our friends to a great extent. Our love interest becomes the priority and the friends lose their importance. But since friends are friends they are always ready to support you and be with you in the good as well as the bad times. Your friends can really help you with getting over the breakup. You don’t have to discuss the details of your breakup with them; just go out and spend some quality time with them and you will instantly feel better.

6. Keep yourself busy- Time doesn’t stop for anyone neither does your life. Keeping yourself busy can really help to keep this breakup thing off your mind. Keep yourself involved in work, assignments, hobbies, household chores, etc. You can also try meditation and exercise as these will keep you busy as well as try to heal your mind. Basically just do anything that will keep you and your mind occupied.
