Breakup Blues - Lessening The Pain

It's one of the worst places to be, it feels like you're carrying around a heavy weight, it's a struggle to just do normal everyday things. You don't want to talk, you don't want to see anyone and you don't know what to do for the best.

Finding a way to just feel normal is hard, but not impossible.

Unfortunately there is no miracle cure for the way you feel right now, but there are ways you can try to lift your spirits.

#1 Don't hide yourself away. As tough as it is, hiding from the world wont help you. You need to be around people, people that you trust and can rely on, people that have your best interests at heart. Don't be alone, you will feel worse.

#2 Avoid alcohol. Hiding in a bottle of your favorite poison would be most folks bet for numbing the pain, but this is the worst thing you can do. Alcohol is a depressant and will do nothing to make you feel any better.

#3 Exercise. The thought of going anywhere near a gym or going for a run will probably not be top of your list, but it's a proven scientific fact that any form of exercise releases feel good chemicals into your system (endorphins).

#4 Don't eat junk. Try to eat decent food, my bet is that you don't have any appetite at all right now, but a good diet at the moment will help you no end.

#5 Make plans. Keep busy and focus on something. Maybe you want that special person back? Set yourself that goal....

These few small tips might not seem like much, but when put together they will turn the way you feel now into something much more positive.

The No Contact Rule - Does It Work?

Much has been written about the no contact rule, so what is it? And does it really work?

Well there is some truth behind the theory, but if taken to extremes it will do you no good at all. It's true that after breaking up with someone you have to give the situation some space.

The last thing your ex needs right now is to be bombarded with phone calls, text messages, emails etc. It's really hard I know, because all you want do is try to change their mind, but hard as it may be, you have to summon every ounce of willpower you have and just sit tight and put the phone down.

During a breakup, or the period leading up to it, emotions and feelings are running high, and things are said and done in the heat of the moment. After all the emotional chaos there needs to be a period of calm, where both of you can collect your thoughts and look at things more objectively.

Take a few days to clear your head and put yourself in a more rational frame of mind, this is much easier said than done, but if you want to get back with someone love, it will help your cause no end.

Don't worry if you've already been in contact with your ex, there are still plenty of things you can do to get things back on track...
