Breakups are really hard. I showed you why breakups are painful in my latest post. In this post I am going to show you how to get past a painful break-up.
Purge your ex from all of your contacts
Stay off of social media for a few weeks
Pack up photos or other reminders of your ex
Spend time with those who love you. Don't isolate even if that is all you want to do
Journal about your feelings
This photo was actually taken by my daughter (who is awesome).
Write a letter to your ex (but don't send it). This is just for you
Acknowledge the good things about your past relationship (but don't over-romanticize it)
Spend time doing things that recharge you
Give it time. Rushing into a new relationship will not solve the problem
Make a list of your goals and dreams. This will help you redefine the life you want and get you thinking about the possibilities.
Make a list of 10 things you like about yourself. This can help you develop some self-compassion. You have a lot to offer the universe. Yes, you!
Here is a little infographic to sum up the post:
