Going through a breakup is possibly the most painful thing you’ll ever get to go through, especially if you were in a serious, committed relationship. When it happens, you don’t have to drown in the pain and misery but try to bring fulfillment, joy, and peace back into your life.

As hard as it is to accept, life has to go on. All you need to do at the moment is figure out how to live your best life. How do you get over the heartache?

Spend Time with Friends

Understandably, you only feel like staying alone indoors, wallowing in your pain, but this is not healthy. Instead, go out often but don’t adopt unhealthy habits such as excessive drinking and partying to numb the pain. Instead, check fun and engaging indoor activities such as swimming, surfing, boat rides, and airsoft grenade games. 

Choosing physically and mentally involving activities distracts you from the pain, and by the end of the day, you’ll be happy but exhausted. You’ll not have time to think about the breakup but will peacefully sleep throughout the night. 

Take a Vacation

Sometimes, stepping out of a situation gives you the clarity you need to focus on your life’s essentials. A demanding job, dysfunctional love life, and other stressful issues can all be too much to handle, but a break can give you the much-needed time to rest, re energize and focus.

A lone vacation is better when you want to think about your life. Choose a captivating vacation destination you’ll love spending time in. Take advantage of the opportunity to spoil yourself and try new, adrenaline-filled activities such as bungee jumping or mountain climbing. 

As you spend time away from your everyday life, you’ll think about your future, discover the mistakes, and plan a better life. Taking a solo vacation also teaches you to put your happiness first. It’s a time to check all areas of your life and remove everything that doesn’t add value, including friends and an unfulfilling job. 

Improve Your Life

Instead of thinking about the breakup, choose this time to improve your life. Probably you need to take better care of yourself and adopt healthier habits such as exercising and eating more nutritious foods. You can also enroll in a class, invest in a hobby, or volunteer your skills. A busy schedule distracts you from the pain. 

If you have a lot of free time over the weekends, plan fun and engaging activities. Have a busy but fulfilling schedule until you are stable enough to be on your own without feeling the pain and loneliness. However, don’t exhaust yourself. Rest, sleep, meditate and reflect. 

Don’t Start a New Relationship Too Soon

Take time before you get into another committed relationship. It’s tempting as it is a quick distraction from reality and pain, but it’s not a permanent solution. Because it’s a rebound relationship, it might not work. Once it’s over, it will leave you feeling more broken and confused. Instead, cultivate healthy friendships with your peers and concentrate on upgrading your life. At the right time, the right person will find you.
