6 Tips on How to Survive a Break Up

It’s nothing new: breakups! Unless you married your first love, you are obviously someone’s ex. Breakups can sometimes get messy and ugly, with emotions running high on both sides. As a lady (or a gentleman) you need to learn how to survive the end of a relationship and move on with grace and dignity. My break up happened a couple months to my graduation from the university. It was so tough. I didn’t think I’d be able to survive without this guy.. Lol

Don’t EVER cry in front of him!
If the guy is the one ending the relationship, please muster some self-control and do not cry in front of him. When he leaves, you can have a good cry if you wish. If you cry in front of him, you will only inflate his ego and make him feel some malicious joy for ending the relationship. I did cry in front of him and it was a very bad move! Don’t be like me… Lol


Take it easy, don’t be so hard on yourself!
It is very easy for you to get into the thinking pattern of believing that you were entirely at fault. It takes two to tango, two to make war and this is true of relationships. Forgive yourself for whatever mistakes you may have made in the relationship and move on. There is someone out there who will still love you.

Socialize! Don’t isolate yourself.
This is the time to surround yourself with people. Go visiting, make the call to that friend of yours you’ve been meaning to call, and don’t be a hermit. Solitude at this time is very bad for you.

Focus and Don’t deviate.
Don’t let the break up affect your work or education because you are the one at the losing end. Pick up yourself and channel all that feeling into something that works for you, could be your education, your work or your business.

Get busy, friend!
Now is the time to divert your mind by engaging in your work. Or taking up a new hobby or join a dance class. It will help prevent you from slipping into the throes of a deep depression.

Stay positive.
Remember that there is someone out there who will appreciate you and love you for who you are. So keep your head up!

With these tips, you can actually bounce back from a breakup, however nasty it may have been. When one door closes, another one will definitely open. Doors that close need not be closed forever.
