Nothing beats the feeling of being in love and being loved in return.
However, the heart wrenching moment comes when it's time to break up due to one reason or the other. It's even harder when you have to move on despite being in love with your ex.
Here are five ways to get over your ex.
1. Reality check
It hurts to have to pick up the pieces of your life when you are still in love with your ex.
However, to be able to overcome such emotions you need to hold a meeting with yourself and come to terms with the reality and admit that the relationship is over and you have to move on.
Moving on is in fact a state of the mind. Once you refuse to let go of the belief that there is a chance you might get back together, you deny yourself the opportunity of healing and moving on from that heartbreak.
2. Cut off communication with your ex
Some people consider blocking or cutting off an ex for a certain period of time as immaturity. Well, it's not.
Deleting their contacts or even blocking them on social media platforms is all good if your peace of mind depends on it. Block them and delete their contact if necessary to keep your sanity in check.
3. Talk to someone
Sounds obvious right? It really helps though.
Find someone that will not judge you for crying or get tired of your endless rants over a failed relationship.
Letting out all those emotions gives you some sort of relieve and goes a long way in the healing process.
4. Get rid of any reminders
These reminders may be in the form of photos, a mug, a hoodie or even a t-shirt. Delete all photos you have of them just for your own peace of mind. For the clothes, keep them as far as possible from your reach or sight.
5. Don't feel stupid for still loving them
Stay away from anyone that tells you it is dumb or messed up to still love your ex.
It is okay to still love them as true love doesn't really fade away.
However, as much as it is okay to still love them, make sure you love yourself more such that you don't allow yourself to go back begging someone who doesn't really deserve you.
