How You Should Be Dealing With A Breakup Positively

By Jose Stone


Being in a relationship that is romantic with someone is an unexplainable feeling because there would be a mixture of emotions. You will not think only about yourself anymore but about them also when important decisions are made. Because doing so does not just affect you but them also, either indirectly or directly.

But sometimes, these relationships end, no matter whether the experience was good or bad, because of various reasons. That is why some people need help in dealing with a breakup because of all the negative feelings and thoughts they would have. The length of being together is irrelevant on how affected a person can be with it.

You should first express what you have been feeling after it happened by writing about it or talking to someone you trust. Suppressing the emotions like sadness, anger, rejection, disappointment and loneliness is natural for most people but this will not help you to get over them. Expressing them will let you realize the reasons for it not working and being with them is not better.

Individuals who experienced this usually either go over eating to make food their coping mechanism or over controlling in what they eat. Doing this is not healthy specially when you have no idea on how to do it properly. Be sure the food you are eating is nutritious and not those that are considered junk.

Start doing exercise if you have not done so before the breakup because being active can lower the levels of your stress. This also improves cognitive function as well as boost your mood plus providing a good distraction from unpleasant things. But be careful of doing it to prevent it in becoming a compulsive behavior or punishment.

Remind yourself about everything good that has happened in your life because these experiences can be overwhelmed by one negative event. This is because painful breakups may cloud your judgment and making it almost impossible to not focus on negativity. Listing the things you are grateful for helps in shifts your focus towards positivity.

Do the things which you love to even before the painful event happened even when getting excited for these is harder. Force yourself with those activities that can make you have a good feeling such as coffee with friends or massage. Watching comedy movies and shows helps also because laughter can boost your mood.

Try in performing an obsession diet where you could indulge, write or obsess in self pity as much as you want but within just five minutes in an hour every day. Stop immediately when the timer goes off and wait for another hour to do it again then reduced the time limit on the next day and the next. This helps in making you realize you can control your thoughts.

Perform acts of kindness to others because this could help in improving your well being and helps to relieve depression. Giving back is the powerful way to rechannel your love that may have nowhere to go because it was for the previous relationship. Helping others will empower you and would open your heart too.
