Moving on After a Break-up – Heal Your Broken Heart

by Cassy

Are you having trouble getting over a guy and need help to mend your broken heart? Letting go of someone who you had a close relationship with is very hard, whether you broke up with him or he dumped you. The void you experiencing in your heart and life cannot be instantly filled with just anything or anyone. Nonetheless, people do heal from these relationships and move on. All it takes is the following five steps to get over the guy you still like.

Letting out the hurt is the first step you need to take. Understand that it is okay to cry when you are struggling to get over a guy. Writing about the pain helps, so some people keep a journal of their experiences.

One very effective healing method that I have seen some people do is to write a long letter to the ex boyfriend about their relationship. The letter must include the good times and the bad times. Talk about the relationship and how he hurt you. Allow yourself to release it all. Burn the letter as soon as you have finished it. That’s right. Don’t even think about sending it to your ex. Alternatively, let the flames burn up the letter. Closure to the relationship is what this offers.

The decision that the relationship is over is a decision you now must make. You will never get over this guy and move on, if you continue to hold on to the thought that he will change and come back to you.

Do something that symbolizes the finality of the end of the relationship. An excellent case in point is to take all the personal property that you have of the ex boyfriend’s and exchange it. Do not keep that oh so comfort, over sized t-shirt of his that you sleep in. The items like toothbrushes are too minor to exchange, so throw them out. Clear your place of his entire things. It is a way of clearing him from your life.

You need to depend on your friends through this time. Girlfriends are forever whereas guys will come and go until you meet your husband. You may have unintentionally ignored your friends for a time, if you have been in a hot and heavy relationship. Reconnecting with your girlfriends will not only be good for your social life but they will help you get over the guy.

You will learn that your girlfriends will have experienced break ups similar to yours. Sharing their pain will help you understand that, however bad the hurt you are experiencing, others have survived and you will too.

You will quite possibly have some extra time on your hands now that you are single. Your relationship occupied a lot of your time. Use this time productively to get over the guy. Take an exercise class and get in shape, or take up a new hobby.

During this transition period, one of the best things you can do is join a group or a class. Not only does a class take up the time you would have spent with your ex, but it also introduces you to a new circle of friends.

The final and best step is moving on when you want to get over a guy. Among the new friends you make in your class or hobby, your old friends and the activities you do to fill up your time, you will come out as a new person.

The best way to mend your broken heart and get over a guy is moving on.

Stephanie, I believe you have to trust yourself, if you want to move on then you should. You are a different girl now than the one he left, much stronger, so you need to believe in yourself that you have made the right decision for you and your baby.

If you do decide to give it another try, take it very slow, he has to earn your trust back. You need to know that he will be there when you and the baby need him, not just now but for the long run as well. You will have to be very honest with him and let him know that, if he does truly love you and want to be with you then he will accept this and agree to take it slow.
