The most grotesque part of dating is breakups. It’s even worse when it’s unplanned and it comes as a rude shock to you. At this point, you don’t know where to turn to.
It’s okay to hurt over it but healing might take a while unless you’re deliberate about it.
It’s not easy getting over people especially someone you have shared intimate moments, dreams and vision, had arguments, made up and even had sex with.
The good news is there are surefire methods that you can adopt to get over your ex. Please read on.
- 1 Stay off social media for a while
People are becoming social media-savvy. It won’t be surprising that your ex is on social media. To avoid any contact with him or her, you should avoid using social media.
There are many of us who are addicted to social media and can’t stay off it for a while. What to do?
Block your ex.
Since you might know your ex’s social media handles, block them on every platform. Your peace is more important.
- 2 Dispose of everything that reminds you of your ex
It’s time to use the trash. That’s where bad memories belong. If you have items that act as a constant reminder of that one person you’re staying away from, it’s best that you get rid of them.
Such items might include gift items, tops, cards, etc. Don’t worry about the worth, your mental state matters more.
- 3 Get closer to your friends
This is the time you need your friends the most. They need to comfort you and stay by your side regularly. You can reach out to them and let them know the situation at hand.
They’ll be more than happy to fill your emptiness.
- 4 Don’t contact your ex
Please don’t. It’ll be unwise of you to do so. You might harbour some hopes that your ex still loves you and is coming back. If you continue looking forward to this, you won’t heal.
Maintain the no-contact rule until you’re done hurting.
- 5 Take a break
A change of location will certainly do you good. You can take a tour and visit new places. Just move away from your present location.
- 6 Start all over
Dating another person can make you get over your ex but you must be careful not to rush into another relationship. Apply other strategies until you’re ready to find love again.
