Getting over a break up

One day you are making plans to have a family with your loved one, and the next day he is telling you he doesn't love you anymore and that he is moving to Australia. I know, sounds crazy, but it happens.

Getting over a break up is harder than you think. At first, you might be in total shock that he or she broke it off, but then the realization comes and you start to think about the good times spent traveling, cooking a delicious gluten-free meal or even going to Walmart together; things that you took for granted before, but just now you realize how precious they were.

"Get over him, he was not good enough for you anyways. He cannot be the one for you." "She is so mean to you, get over her. You'll find someone better." It's easier said than done, believe me.

People always want to tell us that everything will be alright, that we just need wine, chocolate ice cream and a good movie.

I won't lie, I do need the ice cream, but the pity talk from others won't make me feel any better-- save that for yourself.

The worst part of a broken heart, is the trust that was lost. How I am supposed to trust anybody if the person I trusted the most promised me the world, and soon turned my world upside down? They wanted to build a life with you, but suddenly had better plans ahead, and of course you were not included.

It's not going to be easy, it will take time. Maybe months, years, maybe even decades-- who knows. But most importantly-- accept the changes and move on.

Get yourself a busy schedule. Maybe take some yoga classes, go to the mall and buy all the shoes you like  and go out with your friends for a drink or two.

Try cooking yummy meals, learning a language or even taking a vacation. Change your hair or the way you used to dress. Find a floral dress that was hanging in your closet forever and maybe try to renovate your look. Blue hair maybe? Anything that can distract you will help.

Look after yourself and stay positive. The relationship might be over, but you are still alive and well, so why worry? Being single is not the end of the world.
