Things you need to do after a breakup

• It is mostly true that only time can heal a broken heart. However how we act while heartbroken can effect the amount of pain we feel. The following tips will work towards minimizing the pain and speed the healing process.
• Get rid of such objects that remind you of the person who broke your heart. Return, sell, burn, or throw them away. Get rid of photos, letters, emails, and other such items.
• Avoid that person if possible. Try to minimize meetings with your former love.
• Recognize the reasons why you feel bad, think of ways in which some of these reasons can be eliminated or avoided.
• Remember why the romance ended. The relationship ended because you deserve better.
• Remember there will be better days ahead.
• Spend more time with your friends and family.
• If you do not workout or exercise, start doing that, as it helps reduce stress and depression. Exercise will help improve your body and self image.
• Take a bath or shower when feeling very unhappy.
• Start a new hobby or pastime. The pleasure of accomplishing something will counter act to the feelings of sadness.
• Find activities to do that make you happy. Stay away from sad movies and the like.
• Listen to music that gets adrenaline rushing, do not listen to slow, sad or romantic songs.
• Meet new people, you might find someone who will heal your heart.

* It is a good idea to cry/weep if you feel like it, crying can help with the tension and stress of a breakup. It is a natural emotional release.

* Always keep busy. Don't give yourself time to think about the heart break.

* Do productive things for yourself and the society, a better self image will make your a more satisfied and happy person.

* Play games/sports in your free time.

* Get involved in group activities, that way, when you feel like thinking about the heartbreak, your partners will still manage to grab your attention and your mood will change.

* Avoid being alone as much as possible.

* It may help to wallow at least once. Go ahead and eat ice cream, or chocolate while sitting on the couch. But, do not let this linger; otherwise, depression will kick in. However, it does help at first to think.


Warning!!!

* Don't try for a new relationship right after a romance ends. Give yourself some time.

* If you are a guy, it is okay to cry privately. Some people may not understand why men cry.
