Breaking up is never easy, and even though most people will experience a break up, their experiences will all be unique. What's important is that you take the time to adjust and not rush the process. Time will heal and you will be happy again. Try to reflect on what went wrong without blaming yourself and try to concentrate on rediscovering what your strengths are, and what makes you happy. Maybe it's a hobby that you haven't done since the last time you were single, or maybe it's finding a new hobby that you have you always wanted to try. Your self esteem may be damaged, but devoting some of your time to helping others will be wonderful for boosting your confidence as well as being rewarding. It won't be a smooth transition but you will get there.

A break up is not easy, but its definitely not the end of your life. Yes, you spent a lot of time with someone and invested your time and energy and loved them, but its not the on and off button for your life, being with someone. Yes, it hurts to let go, but holding on only makes things worse. You have to remember that your life does not revolve around another person. Just because they arent in your life anymore, does not mean that you should quit living and give up on yourself. Its okay to let yourself feel and let yourself acknowledge your feelings and then come to terms with things, then you will be able to let go. You wont get over this breakup easily, but it wont be impossible to be happy again and to feel like yourself. Give yourself time to grieve, but you are in charge of picking yourself up or letting yourself stay that way. You are going to be okay. Time will heal, if you let it. Everything we go through happens for a reason and sometimes its hard to see that reason or see things in a positive light, but there is always something good that comes out of a bad thing. We learn and grow from what we go through. Learn, heal, grow ❤

No matter the circumstances of your split, your feelings are valid and processing them is a journey in itself. Consider deleting your ex's number—for now, anyway. Protect your heart with a social media purge. Don't contact your ex unless absolutely necessary. Schedule plans with friends. Music has a powerful effect on mood, which is why the breakup mix is a key part of your post-parting toolkit. When you find yourself adrift in a churning sea of emotion while driving to work or rage-cleaning your apartment, let the breakup playlist be your constant. Lose yourself in a good book. Exercise helps your body get a shot of mood-lifting endorphins and serotonin. Travel and explore new places.
