These are some ways to help you accept the reality of breaking up, thus becoming more confident in yourself and successfully picking yourself up.

Avoid negative thoughts. Do not let the negative emotions or feelings take charge of your well-being. Being negative would not turn the situation around, but having positive thoughts would help you feel better, and recover from the heartbreak easily. Throw away the memories. Throw away stuff that would remind you of your ex – the couples’ T-shirt, the pillow that he gave you, the watch she bought you on Valentine’s Day, etc. You should start looking forward in life as this will help to recover faster and to get ready for the next relationship. Do something that you usually will not try. Challenge yourself to climb mountains or swim across the ocean. Achieving something new in your life will give you contentment, and make you realize that the breakup is not a big deal.
