"Getting Over Break Up Advice | Coping Up Gracefully"

The hard part of getting over a break up is that it sometimes seem like a day job that you hate to do but you know you have to do. Sink or swim. I would like to share with you some ways that I hope would help you move on faster and live your life once more. Remember, you are an amazing person even before you have met your ex. Find that amazing person in you...again.

1. When you have just broken up, spend one whole day by yourself feeling entirely miserable.

I know you might be thinking what kind of advice is that. Hear me out first. When it comes to this kind of situations, we all need to have some time by ourselves. So give yourself a whole day to cry, shout, get angry, be sad. Pour out all your emotions for one whole day. Think of everything that has happened, the good and the bad. Then at the end of the day, dry up your eyes and know that a new day will welcome you tomorrow.

2. Never call your ex.

Whether you were the one who dumped or got dumped it's never a good idea to keep calling your ex regardless if you just want to say sorry, hi or what not.

There's a reason why you decided to break up. If you want to resolve the issue (if it needs to be resolved) you need to heal yourself first. You cannot fix something if you, yourself, are broken. It's time for you to heal and be whole again.

3. Never show up to places where you think your ex will be.

Getting over a break up will be harder if you keep wishing and wanting to see your ex. Or if you keep on thinking that letting your ex see that you have moved on and drive him crazy to want you back will only make you more miserable if you don't get the reaction you want from him. So as much as possible, be completely out of contact.
