Five Ways to Recover From a Break Up

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oswego chapter.

Ever been through the “break up” phase in your life? Let’s admit that most of us have been through this phase. You feel like it’s the end of the world and start feeling like you’re experiencing an unbearable loss. But we are all strong enough to get through it. Here are five ways of recovering from a break up:

There are plenty of fishes in the sea!

Don’t lower your standards just because it didn’t work out with one person. You deserve the best.

Focus on the Positive

If you find the good in everything that happens to you, it will make the situation seem like it wasn’t so bad after all. Don’t overreact because something good will come out of that break up.

Think with your heart! Scratch that; Think with your mind.

If we always let our hearts control our actions, we will always stay hung up on that relationship that ended. Sometimes it’s best to think logically than emotionally.

Accept what happened

Everything happens for a reason. This relationship that ended might lead to a better relationship with someone else, but most importantly a better relationship with yourself.

Move On

Staying in the past is never a good idea. Keep moving forward and everything will eventually fall into place.

I'm known as kind of being a hippy who loves to meditate, do yoga, and listen to music. I'm always up for an adventure and am interested in living creatively, working for a bigger purpose, and continuing my adventures around the world!
