Tips to move on from your ex
1) Cut off all contact
The worst thing you can do when you're trying to move on from a relationship is to keep in touch with your ex. Maintain your distance and do not return their calls or messages. It is imperative to stop all communication so as not to incite new feelings.
2) Give yourself time to grieve the loss
Don't blame yourself or put undue pressure on yourself to recover quickly or move from your ex. You must understand that any relationship no matter how short, was an integral part of your life. Please be patient with yourself and allow yourself to recover at your own rate as the process of moving past a breakup takes time.
3) Keep yourself busy
Going through a breakup is often a painful and heart-breaking process and everyone can agree with it. One of the simplest and most effective ways to make this time easier for yourself is by staying busy. Strict to your routine and pack your free time with fun and uplifting activities that will help distract you.
4) Practice self-love
You are very vulnerable when you are coming out of a relationship and feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt are very common to pop up. In these trying times, it is important to put yourself first and prioritise your needs. Indulge in things that you love to do or better yet, take that leap and get out of your comfort zone to explore something new which you might have always wanted to do but didn't have the support or courage to do.
