Healthy ways to cope with emotional numbness

Hi Relationship Stress Community. 

Are you feeling numb ….

☹️ After a break-up?

☹️ A setback in your relationship?

☹️ A fall-out?

☹️ Other?

Here’s a few ways to help you cope. 

1. Move your body. Taking a walk even for a short time can help. 
2. Practicing mindfulness. Find time to relax and live in the moment.
3. Minimizing stress. Not always easy, but do your best to give yourself time.
4. Getting plenty of rest. An early night, watch a good tv show.
5. Eating healthy food. We all know what we like, so try and look for alternatives where possible. 
6. Be kind to yourself.

If you're feeling numb after one of the above, be patient and kind to yourself. The numbness will most likely fade over time as you grieve and heal.
