A Break Up can be disastrous. You are at a point where you feel nothing in this world is worth it.  You will feel used and emotionally drained.

This period is usually tough but life would definitely  go on.

Here are 5 tips to help you overcome a break up.

  1. Clear your head: It is advisably the first thing to do.  This is when you have an honest conversation with yourself about moving forward and accepting the end of the relationship. Clearing your head comes with letting out negative emotions. If you feel like crying, let out those tears. If you’re angry, scream. If you’re hurt, confused, and upset just cry, yell, complain, shout, and do whatever you have to do to get those negative emotions out of your body but avoid harming yourself.
  2. Organize your space: A break up is an automatic default for a new beginning. Behold, old things have to go especially things associated with your Ex. Give your life and all in it a new air.
  3. Social Media Absence: Going off social media helps you to stay away from emotional recall from your past relationship and the society’s innocent way of rubbing salt in your injury.
  4.  Do Not be IdleThis is a way of saying you should get yourself busy with productive engagements. Like the saying goes; ‘an idle mind is the devil’s workshop’. The more your involvement in positive and relevant activities the quicker you slide out of your emotional break down.
  5. Love Again: At this stage, we hope that you are finally out of your dark moments and you have been able to discover yourself in another dimension. Here, you would have learnt not to harbor any form of hate. You would have understood that life is a complete package and a break up is unfortunately part of it.

However, there is need for you to check yourself to know the part where you went wrong, identify it and work on improving yourself.
