7 Ways To Get Over A Breakup You Can’t Get Over

It’s hard to get over a breakup. There’s no denying the fact that breakups are the absolute worst, but with these 15 steps, you can get over a breakup and move on with your life.

1. Breakups are hard to get over

A break up can cause you a lot of pain and distress, if you let it. It’s hard to think clearly when you’re so consumed by the feelings of rejection. These feelings are brought on by your own thoughts. They are irrational and exaggerated, making it difficult to carry on with your day-to-day life.

You might be thinking “why did this person break up with me?” or “what did I do wrong?” But the truth is, your ex had nothing to do with the breakup. You simply began thinking negative thoughts about yourself and that’s what led to the breakup.

If you want to get your ex back, you need to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself and start thinking positive thoughts about yourself. The more positive thoughts you think, the more attractive you will become.

2. Stop trying to get over a breakup you can’t get over

The hardest part of getting over a breakup is that you get it in your head that you’ll never get over it. If you can learn to accept that it’s just a bump in the road, and that there are other people out there who are waiting for you, you will begin to see a world of opportunity opening up.

You need to come to terms with the fact that this isn’t where life ends. You have so much more going for you than being in a relationship that didn’t work out. I know it sounds harsh, but if you can’t be happy without him, then you’re not ready to be with anyone.

I know it’s hard to hear that right now, but I think you need to take some time for yourself and figure out what you want.

3. Accept your situation and move on

Despite all the best efforts to be positive and look on the bright side, sometimes we need to acknowledge that things aren’t going as planned. Instead of dwelling on it, we should accept our situation and start looking for ways to move ahead. Acknowledging a problem is the first step towards solving it.

Why do we tend to get stuck in negative loops? The brain is like Velcro for negative experiences but Teflon for positive ones. It’s much easier for us to remember the last time something went wrong than when things went right.

4. You don’t have to be friends with your ex!

If you’ve ever dated someone, you know that it’s not like friendships. There are ups and downs, and it takes a while to adjust to changes in the dynamic of your relationship.

No matter how much you try to be friends with your ex, it’s never going to work. That person has moved on, and so should you. Breaking up is hard enough without having to put up with the fact that your ex is still hanging around as a friend.

So don’t waste your time trying to be friends with your ex.

5. You may not be able to move on, but you can let it go

Sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of daily life, we’re forced to let go of something that was important to us. There are many different reasons why this can happen. Maybe a loved one passed away, or maybe you had to move on from a job or a relationship. Whatever the reason, there is one thing that will always remain true: letting go of something important is not easy.

It can be hard to accept that some things are gone forever and you cannot get them back. It can be difficult to move on from something that you were so passionate about. But whether it is a job, a relationship, or a hobby, you need to let go of the past and move on.

I know it is hard. I have been there. I still struggle with letting go of things that are gone forever.

6. Let the breakup change you for the better!

The fact is, in life, we will all go through breakups. We will also experience other similar situations that can potentially break us down.

When you are going through a breakup, or some other difficult situation, what matters most is how you react to it. You need to determine whether you let the situation change you for the better, or not.

If you allow yourself to be broken by a breakup, then nothing good will come out of it. On the other hand, if you allow yourself to learn from it and grow stronger because of it, then you will come out on top.

7. It’s okay to cry about a break up!

Your feelings are valid and should be addressed. Break ups can hurt and often we feel like we need to hide that pain from others. But we shouldn’t.

Sharing our feelings with others will not only help us process what happened, but it will also help us process through the pain faster and get over it sooner.

Cry fully and get over it.

Thank you...
