Ending a relationship is painful. You have invested much of your time, and built hopes and dreams for the future on the person you thought was “the one.” Letting go is difficult, when you had so much of your heart and mind focused on one person. You may feel like you have no control anymore over your own thoughts. However, there are ways for you take control back, close this chapter of your life and move on to better things. Here are five important ones.
Enjoy Nights Out with Friends.
You should not sit alone moping and dwelling on “what ifs.” Hit the town with friends, for a ladies’ or guys’ night out. It will keep your mind busy and get you back out into the world. You can see there is still life to enjoy and plenty of great people out there to enjoy it with. You won’t dwell on your ex if you are busy having fun.
Indulge in a Spa Treatment
Visit a local spa and indulge in the works. The world will seem a better, happier place when you feel pampered. The massages or soaks in a spa will allow you to totally relax and enjoy some quiet time, free from any thoughts but how good it feels. Giving your body a break from stress and your mind relief from turmoil will be good for your health and help get you on the road to recovery.
Keep No “Souvenirs” of the Relationship
Don’t make the mistake of holding onto items that are bound to make you feel the sense of loss all over. You can pack them away, give them away, sell them on eBay or throw them in the trash. The very act of getting rid of them helps you accept the finality of the relationship’s demise so you can get on with your life.
Don’t Mope Around the House
Get dressed and get out. Sitting in the house does not help you keep your mind off your ex and your home will inevitably remind you of them. There is plenty to do to pass the time whether going to a movie, the mall, or a friend’s place. Getting out will remind you of all the great things in the world you still want to enjoy.
Take a Vacation
Have fun and go for a trip, it might help you forget that you are heartbroken. Now is the best time.
Don’t torment yourself with thinking incessantly about what could have been or what went wrong. Let the past go and start thinking about the fun you can have in the present, so you can start looking forward to the future. Losing a valuable relationship is traumatic and you have the right to feel disappointment, sadness and loss. Do not wallow in these emotions. Acknowledge them and make a conscious decision to move on. Don’t wait to feel better–be proactive and take charge of your life and your feelings. You deserve to be happy.
