Being single isn’t as bad as you think and you will definitely find your true love down the road. But now you should stop dwelling on your past relationship, learn some lessons from it and move on. Being single is actually the perfect time to figure yourself out, and set your life-changing goals. If you have trouble getting over a breakup. Here are some of the ways of how you can et over a break up.

1. Forget about him

It’s really easy to forget about your ex. Just set a goal of deleting him from your life, and be sure to achieve it. Stop stalking him on social media, delete his phone number, and all his photos. You don’t need them anymore. You begin a new life, life without him. Believe that your new life will be happier and all the best things are waiting for you. Keeping a positive attitude after a breakup is a hard thing, but there’s no sense in sitting at home and moaning about your miserable life.

2. Keep your friends around

It’s so tempting to stay alone after a breakup, but it’s one of the worst things you can do. While you do need some me time, you shouldn’t isolate yourself from people you love and who love you and want to support you. Plan movie nights, go for a walk, exercise, plan road trips, indulge in a new hobby, meet new people and make new friends… in one word, enjoy your life to the fullest and keep your family and best friends around even when you are sad and want to cry.

3. Have fun

You should live your life to the fullest even after a painful breakup. Go dancing, sing karaoke, try a new sport and have lots of fun. Smile and laugh as often as you can and you will see that you are happy and you are ready for a new relationship. As an added bonus, laughing has been shown to increase your lifespan.

4. Don’t opt for a rebound

A rebound doesn’t work for anyone. If you attach to a man very quickly and easily, never opt for a rebound. It’s not a new relationship and it’s bad to play with someone else' feelings and emotions. If you believe that a rebound is for you, make sure you tell a guy that you are not serious about this relationship. Though, who knows, maybe that guy will be your future husband.

5. Cry

If you feel like crying, don’t suppress a feeling. You deserve to grieve about your failed relationship, but only a few hours. Don’t let yourself fall into depression. Remember, a failed relationship is not the end of the world. Love yourself, believe in yourself and keep in mind that you’re wonderfully beautiful and you will find your man sooner or later.
