Curing A Broken Heart

Getting dumped hurts. Being on the giving rather than the receiving end doesn't feel a whole lot better either. Part of the process of looking for love is the reality that eventually you will get hurt. It's a fact of life and an eventual truth, one that we all have to live with. But just because you will get hurt, doesn't mean you have to lie down and take it. Your broken heart can be mended, fixed and repaired. You can become whole again.

When a relationship does end badly, it often seems like nothing can console you and put the pieces back together. Psychologists will tell you that the only thing to mend a broken heart is time. But who has the patience to wait for time? Here are some quick pieces of advice to help you recover your life after a breakup.

- Don’t make contact with your ex. This rule is number one because it’s serious. Don’t call, text, email or instant message your ex. It might be difficult, but it’s worth it.

- Remove all remnants from your life. Don’t save pictures or gifts. Throw anything that will remind you of your ex.

- Come to grips with the fact that it’s over. Don’t cling to the past, look towards a future without your ex.

- Don’t participate in a rebound relationship. Loneliness is a symptom, not a disease and once you push the loneliness off with fleeting relationship it will come back with a vengeance.

- Get out of your house. Nothing helps you feel more depressed than an extended stay in one place. Go to the store, go to the movies. Do anything that makes you get out among people.

- Exercise. Exercising releases endorphins in your system that will make you feel better even if you don’t feel like feeling better.

- Forgive your ex. This might be the hardest, but once you can do it, you’ve turned a major corner.
