Ways to mend a broken heart

When you and the person you love break up it can feel as though someone has driven a truck over your heart; repeatedly. You can’t eat, you can’t sleep and sometimes you even wonder if you can breathe. Yet, although mending a broken heart is not an easy task it can be done.

Face facts:
 Some people are perfectly capable of embracing their emotions and admitting that their relationship is over. These are the people who, when trying to get over someone, repeatedly blast out emotional medleys of Bon Iver, Phil Collins and Celine Dione until they finally fall asleep at 4am. However, if you are not one of these people and you have convinced yourself that your relationship is not over and that eventually you will end up getting back with your ex, then you are not going to mend your broken heart.
To get over your ex you need to look this breakup square in the face and accept that it is over. Face the facts and begin to let go. It will hurt when you finally come to terms with the fact that it is over, but then you can start to mend that heart of yours.
 Singles list:
Although you and your ex had a modern relationship, there are still certain things you can’t do when you are a couple and that you wanted to try when you were still in a relationship. It may have been going away on an all girls holiday or installing a mammoth pool table in your kitchen.
Now that you are single try to keep a positive mental attitude and make a list of all the things you can do now that you are single. If you can’t think of any, try to make a list of things that you can do now because you have more time on your hands or just write down things that you’ve always wanted to try, but have never got round to doing before. Filling your time with positive new tasks will help you move on and get over your ex quicker and your life may actually improve.
Let go:
 
If your breakup was messy and you ended up getting hurt badly by the guy or girl you loved you probably feel really angry towards your ex. This is perfectly normal, acceptable and healthy. Yet, if a significant amount of time has passed you need to try to let go of your anger.
If you don’t and you remain resentful for the way your ex treated you it will be difficult to mend your broken heart. Instead of getting over your ex you will remain fixated on your broken relationship and may become bitter. It is healthy to let go and come to terms with what has happened and once you have you will be able to start a new relationship without bringing in any of the issues and unhappy emotions that your ex left you with.
