How Can I Move On When She Broke My Heart |
For many, the most anguish-ridden breakups are when a particularly long relationship has come to an end. No matter the reason, here are some suggestions for helping anyone move on after suffering extreme heartache.
If you have recently gone through a breakup, you are likely experiencing a good deal of sadness, bitterness, and pain. Do you often think "she broke my heart"? Then these suggestions will help you to move on and get past your feelings of despondency. Try these ideas as soon as possible so that you can get back to feeling happy and confident in yourself.
--Face the facts, but be realistic.
Yes, your relationship ended. Yes, "she broke my heart" is a good description of what happened. Neither of these statements mean that there is anything wrong with you or that you are unlovable. Nor do they mean that you will never find another person to love. To think that is being unrealistic.
Be practical in your thoughts about your relationship. The person you were with chose not to be with you, and that is what you must accept. She was only one person, though, and her thoughts about you and this particular relationship will have no bearing on your future relationships. Although she did break your heart, her power over you isn't absolute--she cannot hurt you any more than you let her.
--Get your ex out of your home.
Pack up everything your ex ever gave you, as well as every photograph you have of her. Some people might advise throwing these items away; however, you might want to keep some items to possibly revisit at a later stage in your life when you can do so with fond memories. In any case it is completely your choice as to what to do with the items--just do something with them to get them out of sight. Be sure to change any electronic settings she decided upon as well, such as phone messages and ring tones or alarm clock settings.
Getting rid of all of these trinkets and photos helps because you will no longer have constant reminders of her in every area of your home and life.
--Write a letter to your ex.
This letter will never be mailed. Instead, it will serve to work out your frustrations with the heartbreak. In the letter, write down all of your emotions, rant and rave, whatever it takes to make you feel better. Read the letter each time you think about how "she broke my heart." Eventually, the feelings will dull and you will be ready to move on to a fresh new life without your ex.
