Getting Over It

I just have one simple question that may be kind of hard to answer: how do you get over a broken heart?

Ivette says...

Getting your heart broken is not something easy to get over right away. Some important things to understand is that everyone goes through them, and that as hard as it seems, things will eventually get better. It may seem a little hard at first but try these things out: be comfortable, eat and sleep well. Being healthy is very important, and you should really take care of yourself. Yoga, meditation and other forms of passive exercises may help you cleanse yourself in spiritual, mental and physical ways. Self improvement is great too. Want to change something? Get a haircut or dye your hair! You can go to the mall and buy a nice dress to show off. Pamper yourself and feel pretty! Rely on your social support group too. Seek your family and friends when you feel like talking to someone, spend time with them and reconnect. You could also keep yourself busy by picking up a hobby or volunteering, you could redirect that energy and create something positive with it! Another important thing is to really get rid of all the stuff that reminds you of the person who hurt you. Don't try to contact and talk to him because chances are it's going to be tough to get over them if you still let them be part of your life. It will take time, but it's possible. Don't rush your healing, take baby steps and take one day at a time. Remember that as hard as it seems you can do this. Good luck!
