Getting over your ex is a daunting task that almost proves to be futile. You can erase their contacts, block them across all social media platforms but not in the mind. It doesn’t take long before nostalgia comes back to haunt you. As much as it’s not a walk in the park the following are some of the psychologists approved methods you can employ to get over your ex and get a move on with your life:
Fall in love with yourself
Treating yourself to the finer things in life has proven to be effective in bringing in peace of mind and building the self-esteem that has probably gone with the past relationship. Treating yourself the way you expected to be treated by your past significant other is a great way to recover from the heart break
Keep yourself busy
Becoming physically active is also a great way to distract yourself from the pity party and avoid aftermath implications such as depression. I suggest going to the gym to exercise or engaging in active sports can help you take away your mind from the strained relationship and give you a sense of accomplishment and relaxation.
Focus on what you don’t miss in the relationships
Missing your ex and all the things you used to do together is not uncommon in past strained relationships. It is important to keep in mind that your ex was not perfect neither was he/she all flawless. As you get all nostalgic about the things you will miss about the relationship pair those with the things that you will not miss about the relationship and make the cons surpass the pros.
Find love
You don't have to go out there and date again straight away but it’s important to surround yourself with people who love you and wish you well. Having a social life with friends and family will make you feel appreciated and valued.
