Neha Joshi
Just had a breakup that is not giving you the peace of mind you need? Try one of these ways to get over a breakup and it might just be what you needed all this while.
Breaking up isn't a cup of tea for anyone. You, me, and everybody else finds it equally difficult to go through it and even worse, to get over it.
A breakup is not only the separating of two people, but the separating of two hearts that loved each other, stayed together for some time, shared happiness, comfort, and passion. But now, they share only one thing―loneliness. 
Letting go of a relationship can be hard, but we have to do our bit and try to make things better for us, isn't it? There is always another heart out there who is waiting for someone like you to come and love him/her and be loved in return.
On that good note, let's proceed to some best ways to get over a breakup. While reading through these, forget your situation at the moment and just concentrate on the bigger picture; concentrate on what you want in the longer run, on what you deserve in the end.

Talk About It

If you really want to get over someone and the whole emotional baggage that is associated with that person, the best thing is to talk about it. A lot of people will tell you not to and give you their views on how fresh wounds hurt a lot, but trust me, the more you talk about it, the more you'll get over it.
Talking about the breakup with your friends will help you deal with your anger and frustration.

Shop Till You Drop

Retail therapy works for all women, if not men. It is an activity that will help you live through any feeling associated with sadness. The clothes, the pumps, the accessories, etc., are sure a better investment than pangs of guilt and loneliness, isn't it?
You have to try this once and you'll know how it works. Sales, offers, and discounts are known to turn women euphoric instantly.

Play Till You Sway

Play your favorite sport till you sweat and have no energy to think about anything. Do it everyday and one day you will realize that a lot of time has already passed.
Playing a sport will also enhance your fitness and you'll be doing something you like, isn't it? There will be no room for negativity.

Laugh Till It Hurts

Join a laughing club. It may sound insane initially, but it is going to help you instantly. They say laughing is the best medicine and, you give it a try, really. 
Even if forcefully, you will be laughing for at least a few minutes, than just being sad and not doing anything at all. Instead of choosing the road to depression, choose the road that might just take you to a better and happy tomorrow.

Don't Lose Focus

You have your entire life in front of you and your focus should now be just that. Concentrate more on your career than on your personal life at the moment.
Give your ambitions and aspirations the first priority for sometime. Eventually, your achievements in this aspect of life will provide you with more contentment and satisfaction than anything else. Right now, only your goals should be on your mind.

Be Ready for Change

Another very important part of getting over a breakup is to decide and be ready for change. Whatever you shared with whoever it was, is now over. It's time for some new love, a better one.
Be receptive to change and be happy. Understand that your life has changed and that life changes only for the better. Someone out there is waiting to find you―make sure you're not found depressed.
Nothing can change for you unless you decide to change it, or let it change. Get over your past and give your present a chance. It might just turn out to be something much more beautiful than you ever expected.
