How to Mend a Broken Heart

Writing down what happened is also a great way to alleviate stress tied to the situation. I find it helpful to go ahead and write down what happened several days after the event occurred. Similar to sitting down and going over events, this gives you a chance to go over, without the fear of being judged, just what went wrong. Remember though, never write just after the event unfolded. This will lead to an intensification of negativity and often a distorted view of exactly what happened. Wait for yourself to cool off for a few days and then go ahead.

Lastly, take extra strives to do something fun or exciting. Eating a comfort food is always fun and gives you an excuse to indulge your taste buds. If you like like doing an activity, reserve time in your schedule to do it. Hang out with friends or buy an item you have had your eye on for a while. The point is to get yourself on your feet again so do that thing which truly makes you happy.

Other Suggestions

As soon as possible, remove her contact information from your phone. This will prevent any sour feelings when scrolling through your contacts. Remove her name from any instant message client as well. Take any pictures you have of her on your computer and place them into a folder which you put off to the side. There is no point in drumming up sad images of a sad past.

Exercise can be a rather effective tool in your arsenal. I often find that it is rather important to work through that which is bad via some physical outlet. That means going bike riding, sparring, working out, swimming, etc. This acts as an outlet for any negativity that still resides in your heart. Of course, exercise alone won’t do the trick but it’s something I found especially effective against the taxing effect of a heavy heart.

Don’t go back on the market for searching for others right after your heartbreak. You are asking for disaster if you do so. Give yourself time to recover, it is only fair to yourself and whoever you might find. If you do find someone special, you will question yourself if you hooked up with him or her as a rebound and your partner will wonder the same thing.

If you happen to bump into your ex right after your break-up don’t freak out. Simply acknowledge them with a smile and move on. If they want to talk to you, try your best to get out of their. After break-up conversations are the worst. Simply state you need to be somewhere and wish them a good day.

Now there is one more important component to this guide, time; you will need quite a bit of it. Allow your troubles to slowly wash away as the days pass. It might be cliche, but time does heal all wounds.
