How To: Move On From a Relationship

The breakdown of a relationship is painful stuff, you’re left with plenty of questions, a horrible pain in your chest and that aching loneliness.

Everyone has to have time to mourn the relationship but there comes a time when you’ve got to move on, so here’s how!

Have Time to Mourn

Trying to move on too quickly can often lead to all your feelings getting dragged up at a later stage so it’s important to mourn the relationship.

Have a good cry and sit on the couch for a few days in your pyjamas eating ice cream and crying to your favourite film. You’ll feel a massive relief.

Keep Busy

Once you’ve let it all out it’s crucial that you keep busy. Often, having time to think about it leaves you in a heap on the floor so book up your social calendar.

Take up a new hobby so that your evenings aren’t filled with nothingness and make sure you’re keeping your mind occupied!

Friends and Family

Friends and family will be your saviour when you’re trying to move on from a relationship so keep them around you as much as possible.

No doubt your mum will enticing you back home with home cooked meals and your friends will constantly be asking you to go out so take up the invites and enjoy yourself!

Get Back Out There

When you’re feeling confident enough, get back out onto the dating scene. These days, love waits for nobody so look forward to being happy again.

Try online dating if you can’t fit in time to search your town, and make sure you’re proactive about it. Not only will dating give you a much needed confidence boost but you could also find the love of your life!
