Surviving a breakup

Ways of separating or letting go of the past include:

•	Questioning yourself. Is it really worth going through all this pain for that one person once he/ she has walked out on you? For all you know, while you shed tears and nurse a broken heart, thinking of ways to get back, your better(???) half might be having the time of their lives ignorant to the pathetic state that you are in.
•	Keeping yourself occupied. If you are going to sit at home all day refusing food and brooding, you will not only irritate yourself but also the people around you. Just because someone broke up with you its not the end of the world. Go out with all the friends you ignored when u were courting. Keep yourself indulged in some activity or the other.
•	Start dating again. It may be hard initially, but start seeing people again. Dress up, put on some perfume and go out there and get a life. As they say there are plenty of fish in the sea.
•	Keep telling yourself that the relationship is over. You will come to believe it eventually.
•	Throw away or better still burn everything that reminds you of the past relationship. Or flush it down the toilet. Alternatively you could join a kick boxing class and imagine that the sand bag is your ex.
•	Whatever happens don’t call him/ her. You are trying to let go of the past. And calling your ex is like clinging on to a piece of paper in a drowning boat. Also being ‘just good friends’ with your ex is a bad idea. When your ex begins dating again(they always mange to before you do) you will find yourself devising strange murder plots.
•	Be selfish. Do all the things that you always wanted to do but dint do because you were in a relationship. Walk barefoot on the street, see that naughty movie u always wanted to, drive at 150kmph. No one is going to stop you.

Its all how you choose to be. Ultimately only you can help yourself. Its your choice if you want to move on or stay at the same place. You can view the glass as half empty of half full.
