Breakup can be really hell for some women, and I can attest to that. Few months after my graduation and a month before my license examination review started, my beau and I broke up. It was the hardest part of my life so far. Thank God, I managed to survive. Waking up each day, realizing that I'm back to being single was a torture. Getting ready for the big examination was so hard to do. So I decided to take one step at a time. Here are some tips (this is what I did):
1. Wallow in Depression!
Yes, it may sound so negative, but It is really the first step. Cry until your tear ducts dry out. Feel the pain and savor your misery. All people undergo depression after losing someone or something, so don't fret you are not alone and it is normal. Let all the negative emotions out and after that, you are ready to move into the next step.
2.The Clean Up.
Get rid of all the things that would remind you of your ex. Pictures, videos, and all the memorabilia, because the more you see it the more you will remember. This is one way of forgetting the good old memories and helping yourself to regain focus.
3.Have a temporary Amnesia.
Play like you never knew him. Delete him from all of your social network list (facebook, friendster etc.), contact list and address book. Stop checking websites that contain any info about him and fight the urge of calling and SMS-ing him. Cutting all the communication lines can do wonders.
4. Gather your armies.
Girlfriends can really help! Plan slumber parties, visit new places and take time to share your feelings. They won't be called FRIENDS if they can not listen. Laugh out with them, its the best medicine for this disease. =)
5. Pamper your self.
Go to the nearest salon and spa. Try every new trend and shop till you drop! There are a lot of reasons to be beautiful; you don't want to look horrible for you next prince right?
6.Focus on your Future and and bury the past.
Take new lessons (cooking, language, dance etc.). Venture into a business (I actually did this, I started an online shop out of boredom, I earned and it kept myself busy). Do everything that would help you focus on finer things. Establish goals that would inspire you to function at your best and would give you a better life ahead.
7. Believe in Love.
Relationships may have failed and hurt you, but it is not the end of the world. There are a lot of fish in the ocean. Don't lose hope, Love will once again knock in your door, and if it's true... IT WILL STAY FOREVER.
