Getting over breakups is difficult. While some breakups are a relief, others are devastating, especially when such a relationship has lasted for years. Breaking up is not the problem as much as moving on is. Some people find it very difficult to get past a breakup and can remain stuck for a long time. Getting over a breakup is quite easy with specific simple steps and effort. So, here are seven dating advice to help you get past a breakup.

1. Talk About It.

If that breakup hits you bad, then talk about it with those you love. One healthy relationship advice for getting over a breakup is to talk to friends and family.

By talking here, I do not mean insistently complaining and nagging about it. But I mean letting those around you, those who love you know that you're hurting, which would cause them to rally round you.

2. Set Plans.

It's as simple as it sounds. Rather than sulk alone in your room with popcorn, a bag of chips and soda, make plans to go out. Plan trips, exciting adventures, things you love doing with your friends and family. You would come back refreshed, that's my relationship advice.

3. Try Online Dating Or Not.

After a breakup, it is relatively easy to fall into that sulking mood for days. Analyzing all the things you did wrong in the relationship and eventually deciding against dating. Instead, the right antidote for a breakup is to get yourself out there dating again.

You can try online dating for women, if it works for you, if not you can go with regular dating. This helps you remember that there are still many people out there for you. But if you do need a breakoff date to evaluate things, please consider doing that.

4. Get New Hobbies.

It's easier said than done. But getting a hobby and engaging in new activities helps you get over a breakup.

Firstly, it takes your head off the breakup and the person. Secondly, it gets your adrenaline pumping again from doing something exciting and new. While, along the way, you meet new people from your various new hobbies. New hobbies include yoga, spa treatment.

5. Do Therapy.

For some people, a breakup devastates them and their mental health becomes a mess. My dating advice is if you realize that a split completely messed with your head, do not be shy to get help. If you need therapy, get a good therapist to help you regain good mental health.

6. Stop Texting Your Ex.

Ultimately, to get over the pain, you've got to stop texting or calling your ex. Imagine yourself getting a new hobby, making exciting plans. Then at the end of your day, you come home and start texting your ex. All the feelings just come rushing back. So you've got to stop texting your ex, even if just for a while for you to heal.

7. Give Yourself Time.

Don't be so hard on yourself! Getting over a breakup takes time and eventually occurs overtime. So, care for yourself, learn from the process, and understand that time is needed to heal.

Conclusion

In summary, to get over a breakup, you need to step out there, give yourself time, and watch love to surround you again. Another beautiful way to heal is to love others. Get involved in charitable work, enjoy the joy that comes from showing love to others. Put smiles on people's faces and watch it all turn your frown upside down.
