How to Survive a Breakup

By Alex Shant


A breakup is one of the most painful times of in your life. This pain is more if we are dumped compared to the pain experienced when we dump someone. For many of us, the pain of breakup is very strong. Here are some ways to avoid pain after the breakup.


1. Out of mind, Out of sight:
The most important thing to keep in mind right after the breakup is that spending time with your ex would constantly remind you of all the good times of your relationship and injure you even more. If you call, email, text or try to meet your ex constantly, you will be termed as a stalker and lose even the remotest of the chances that the two of you have of being together once again.


2. Nurture the way you feel:
The first result of a breakup is intense pain. If you are suffering a breakup, don't avoid the pain, but to realise that the pain is good for you. It is normal to feel pain when you lose someone who had a lot of importance in your life. When you feel pain, it is almost like a sign saying that you are on the process of healing.


3. Keep yourself busy:
The best way to avoid post breakup blues and thoughts about your ex is to keep yourself busy all the time. The mind will not think if you do not give it time to wander. Keep yourself constantly involved in different types of activities.


4. Surround yourself with good friends

It is a bad idea to share about your breakup to each and every friend of yours as they will eventually start avoiding you, thinking that you have nothing to talk except the breakup. On the other hand it would be a wise decision to pick up one friend who you think will understand your thoughts and your feelings and will listen patiently to all that is on your mind. Remember that your close friends can be your greatest support system when it comes to breakup and they would honestly give you the best advice.


5. Meditation:
Meditation is an old technique to relax a tense mind. Closing our eyes and forcibly extracting each and every thought from our mind is the essence of meditation. These thoughts would be very difficult to ignore but we need to give ourselves the time to clear the clutter in our mind. Only then will there be any scope to sort out ourselves and move ahead in life for the better.
