You Can Get Over A Breakup Fast

By Molly Laws

When a relationship ends, especially if you're not the one who ended it, how to get over someone becomes very important. It?s not always easy to get over a person you?ve been with, though. If you?ve been with that person for a very long time it?s even harder. It might be pretty easy to get over a relationship that?s lasted 3 months. But if you've been with someone for 3 years, it's hard to get over that person at all, let alone get over them quickly. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to speed up the process.

When you're wondering how to get over someone, sit in a chair in your living room or bedroom, wherever there?s a very strong sense of the other person. Remove anything that reminds you of that person a great deal.

This isn't always easy to do, but every little bit helps. If you've bought a dog together, for instance, of course you won?t want to get rid of the dog. But anything your ex bought for you that?s on display like a knick-knack or something hanging on the wall would be a good thing to remove for a while.

If you have shared a home together for a long time, you might find that it's hard to really take your ex out of the home entirely- and that it all right. The main thing to remember is that any items bringing really strong associations to your ex need to be taken away, and you'll find you feel much better.

Perhaps you and your ex purchased the bed together, but it's actually the stuffed animal he gave you that is laying on the pillow that gets you down when you see it. Get items like that out of your place because it will make you feel so much better if you don't have to see constant reminders.

Remember Your Ex Had Flaws

If getting over your ex is a really difficult thing for you, you can remind yourself of those things about your ex that you hated. If you are not ready to think about your ex at all yet and it still makes you sad, it's too soon for this. If you feel ready, though, it can be a really big help in getting past it if you make a list of all of your ex's irritating habits and faults. You may be able to come up with a long list, and it can help you see what you're really not missing.

Often, people find that just re-entering the dating world is a good way to begin getting over a breakup. Some people might not feel ready if they still think they love their ex- but remember, you don't have to get involved seriously or fall in love. Hanging out with friends or even a casual date can really help you feel better. Just get out and about, and it's much easier to not feel down. - 30299
