Want to know how to get over your ex?
Self-care. There I said it. This does have to do with getting over your ex, I promise. Trust me? Let me explain.
Breakups can be some of the hardest times we experience as humans. Sometimes life in these moments feel unbearable and that’s ok. These feelings are not actual facts. In due time these emotions pass.
I challenge you to think about the seasons changing. You feel the cold of winter and can touch the snow. Soon enough winter will pass into spring and you can see the flowers begin to bloom. Your feelings around this breakup will pass just like these seasons.
So how do I get over my ex? First things first: Focus all your energy on yourself. Even when you are hitting that replay button over and over and over again. Where did it go wrong? Why did it have to end this way? We could work this out? These are all normal questions for breakups, but you don’t have to find those answers today.
When was the last time you did something positive for yourself? Buying your favorite carton of ice cream does not count for this question. When was the last time you laughed and smiled in your own company? When was the last time you felt like YOU again? When was the last time you were taking in life with arms wide open and welcoming it?
Taking care of your mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you need to take a sick day from work, do it. If joining a gym helps you get those endorphins pumping, do it.
