How to get over someone

Have you ever been dumped? Have you ever been cheated on? Have you ever been in a position where you've asked someone out, and they have blatantly said NO? Have you ever tried to get over someone you've never dated? I have been in all of the above situations. So what do you do? How do you deal with them? These are few things that have helped me to get on with my life, and I just felt like sharing them on my blog.

1. Face the truth – Truth hurts…But believing a lie hurts you even more...A lie that says, you stand a chance in that relationship - they might just change their mind and come back to you. If someone has rejected you, keep telling yourself that they don’t love you. Cast out all hopes relating to them. Eventually, you’ll get over the feeling.
2. Surround yourself with people – Locking yourself in your room is a bad idea. Hang out with your family (cook a meal at home, do the dishes, gardening maybe). Talk about your problem with a friend. It’s good to cry sometimes.
3. Keep Busy – If you’re a student, please focus on your studies, if you’re a working professional do the best you can for your organisation. If you don’t like any of the things I just mentioned, offer your service to someone. There are so many organisations out there that are desperately looking for volunteers.  
4. Engage in some physical activity – Running, jumping, skipping, swimming, cycling, jogging, gymming…Whatever might be your thing…Do it…My personal favourite is going for long walks…It relaxes me.
5. Pay attention to yourself – Wake up in the morning, take a shower, wear nice clothes (smell nice included) and eat a good breakfast. It pumps you up and gets you started to face the day. I always find myself more productive and efficient when I do the above.
6. Meditation – Praying gives me peace. It calms my body and soul. It reminds me that there is someone watching over me, who cares incredibly about my existence.

I don’t know what place you’re in at the moment. There is no quick fix for heartbreaks …For most people it’s a slow process… Keep fighting those feelings….Don’t stop loving yourself because of the rejection… The phase will pass away before you know it … Been there and done it!
