How to get over a break-up

By Miss Kes 

Break-ups are depressing and can cause major headaches and stress to the parties involved. However, there are ways to heal.1. Erase all memories of your last relationship2. Avoid making contact3. Spend some time to re-evaluate yourself

Do this by deleting pictures, contacts, and avoid going to the places you normally would as a means to fully recover. Keeping memories like old photos and gifts shared over special holidays will only add more abrasion to the emotional wounds you are trying to heal from. Discard the memories.

It is almost impossible to avoid “bumping” into people these days, but if you can, try your best to avoid the places that person would normally be at and avoid texting or calling the person. There should be no contact whatsoever unless there are legal matters between both parties or there are children involved.

 Spend time to understand you and try to meditate on exactly what happened in the last relationship so you can avoid its repeat. Avoid beating up yourself emotionally. Relationships fail, but most times it is for your own good. Always try to look on the good side instead of at all the bad things.

4. Date again, but slowly

There is no rush to get over your ex lover. Time heals all wounds and so yes, it is recommended that you date again, but do this slowly as you don’t want a repeat of your mistakes, and it is quite possible that the new guy could be you “rebound”.
