GRIEF

Know that its OK to cry, allow yourself mourn the loss of a relationship, after all you are a woman. Don’t be in denial, admit that you are hurt, cry, get angry. But its just for a little while.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY

After a breakup all you want to do is cry and eat, when you start eating bad, your diet gets worse and you gain unwanted pounds, so do not take refuge in bad foods, eat good food and healthy diet. Avoid mindless eat, exercise and rest.

GET INTO ACTIVITIES YOU LOVE AND BE POSITIVE

Give yourself a reason to want to get up every morning, have a reason to want to move on, do the stuffs you enjoy or love, like Running, Strolling, Travelling, Shopping. Just get out there again.

TAKE YOUR TIME

Remember not rush into another relationship just because you are lonely and he is available.

Nobody said its going to be easy, but you will heal.
