The majority of people at some point in their lives will go through the ugly experience of a break up. This is always a tough time for anyone and the stress can make you sleepless, nauseous and even cause you to over or under eat. So how can you get to a place where you can face life again from this position of hurt.Well here are five top tips on how to survive an break up and how to get over a broken heart:

1) If you chose to do the breaking up don’t keep agonizing over the decision, You did it for probably very good reasons. Continually running over different what if scenario’s in your head is not going to change anything and will only drag your pain out even longer. Look to the future instead.

2) Put your feelings down on paper. It is often a great release to just get your thoughts and feeling down on paper. It can aid you in seeing that things might actually not be that bad after all and helps keep things in perspective.

3) Get organized. Spend some time getting your house/apartment looking nice and organized . Doing something such as this can really help you take your mind off the pain. gather up all your ex partners items and store them safely away in a suitcase. There is no need to keep having to look at those photos of you together every time you go into a room. Some people opt for burning these things yet do not forget that there were more than likely some very good times in the past which you might wish to recall one day so perhaps just store them away for now.

4) Get yourself out and about. Begin socialising again, of course we are not talking about binge drinking but definitely avoid sitting at home with only your own self pity for company.

5) Let go of it. Take some time to go through in your mind what happened to your relationship, see what you can learn from the events and a make a mental note of these. Accept responsibility for the things that you did wrong and the situation you are in right now. It is far easier to move on and let go of your ex from this position.

OK, with those points in mind you will find getting over a break up and dealing with a break up much easier and quicker to get over your ex and start living the life you deserve once more.
