Getting Over a Relationship Breakup-How to Get Over a Breakup and Move on With Life

By Paul Lindquist

Getting over a relationship breakup is without a doubt among the toughest tasks we will ever have to go through. If you are currently going through it, I'm not telling you anything new. You waste hours and even days being depressed and acting like everything is crumbling around you. When you are thinking this way, the idea of getting over a relationship breakup is the farthest thing from your mind.

The thing is, you can't lie around in this state forever. At some point, you need to pick up the pieces and move on with your life. Otherwise, your current state of depression will no longer be just a phase you went through, it will start to define who you are. Here is some advice on getting over a relationship breakup and moving on with your life:

1. Get rid of all anger and bitterness toward your ex

Your ex most likely did things that really hurt you, I understand that. They gave you all kinds of grief and left you alone and heartbroken. No one is saying you don't have a right to feel angry and bitter, but these emotions are not good for you. If you keep them up, they will eat away at you. Step one to getting over a relationship breakup is to grant your ex forgiveness for all the wrong things they did to you. Get these emotions behind you and move forward. Believe me, you will be far healthier in the long run after taking this step.

2. Get rid of your ex's phone number

Alright, you might not want to actually get rid of the phone number, but you do want to live like you no longer have it. Reduce or eliminate your calls and/or texts to your ex. Getting over a relationship breakup will become far less difficult (for both you and your ex) if you stop calling or texting them as much as you can. This might not be the easiest thing for you to do, but you must take this step to truly start getting on with your life.

3. Find yourself a new and better life

Granted, this third step to getting over a relationship breakup will be tough to put into practice. You probably don't even know where to start. But, it will definitely be worthwhile. Find some new and different things to do that excite you and will help fill the void you have from your breakup. Consider it like hitting the 'reset' button on your life.

This is the time for you to get out there and do the stuff that you never had the time to do while you were in the middle of your relationship. Use this circumstance to your advantage and create for yourself a life that's better than it was before.
