Broken Heart Survival Guide

Get back up stronger and start a new life

Chapter 1:

Getting Starting In Property Investing

Synopsis

 

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

 

The Basics

 

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.

 

Release your feelings healthily. Take up gym sessions or get into an exercise routine. Writing it out, if you find it hard not to think of the breakup may help to put things into perspective. These actions may help you to feel better and allow you to have a clearer understanding about the breakup.

 

Think of the flaws of your ex. If you still cannot get over the breakup, think of all the bad things about your ex – do not remind

yourself again that he/she is the kind and loving one, a good sex partner, an understanding one….

Chapter 3:

Stop the blaming & forget the past

Synopsis

 

To survive a breakup, you must be generous and try to forget the past. Why would you want the negative emotions to continue with no end in sight and stuck in your mind, affecting you in your everyday life functions? If you still have feelings towards your ex, forgive him/her totally; forgiveness is the greatest love act of all.

 

 

 

 

Have A Look

 

Do not blame anyone for everything. A breakup occurs when there are problems caused by both parties. Stop the thoughts that your ex is the one with all faults. Do not blame yourself for what you have done either and keep from regretting things.

 

Do not question yourself, neither what you should have actually done at that time. The relationship is over now, so why continue to figure out what to do to curb the problems, especially if there is no chance to reconcile. At this moment, you should focus on how to get rid of the heartbreak and not sticking with it.

 

Do not let yourself look backwards. Stop reminding yourself about the failures in the relationship, including checking back all the text messages and emails from your ex in the past. Do not allow all this to be the stumbling block that blocks you from thinking for yourself.

 

Remember the good, ditch the bad. Remember the good memories that both of you shared together; but avoid reflecting back the bad times and pressures, as this will make you feel less confident to start a new relationship.

 

Focus on the future. Whatever you experienced in this relationship, take it as experiences that brings you to a whole new level of examining yourself and moving towards a better future. It is never a good thing to reflect on all the problems faced in the relationship, but

when you do, make sure you know how to find ways to improve yourself for the better.

 

 

 

Chapter 4:

Stay away from your ex

Synopsis

 

This is the best way to get rid of having clingy feelings or emotion dependency towards your ex – stay away from your ex. Try to avoid staying in touch, as it will create chances for both of you to rekindle the flame. Do not worry about how you will survive the breakup.

 

Here are some tips on how to stay away from your ex.:

 

 

Staying Away

 

Just stick with it. It will be hard at first not to keep in touch with your ex, but it will get easier eventually. Be discipline in reminding yourself not to fall into the trap of wanting to get back together and have faith in you.

 

Politely ignore all your ex’s attempts to contact you. Your ex may feel bad for breaking up with you, or remain concerned about you and still care. Try to reject or avoid these contacts by telling him/her that you need some time alone.

 

Avoid face-to-face contact with your ex. Try to avoid meeting your ex as much as possible. Do not go and look for your ex, or allow any chances for him/her to meet with you. Besides this, you should also consider avoiding his/her close friends and relatives.

 

Go with your plans. To stay away from your ex, you should make your own plans to distract yourself from meeting your ex. People around may give you lots of advice, but it is best to stick with your own plans, unless you are able to make the best choices out of the advices given.

 

Do not listen to rumors. People spread rumors just to make you feel upset or it is sometimes done unintentionally. Do not get caught up with those negative comments; move away or excuse yourself from listening to them.

 

On the plus side there are also tax reliefs and benefits to be enjoyed in this type of investment. At the very least if the property is considered a good buy; the risks the owner is likely to face are comparatively lower than other types of investments with higher risk ratios.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 5:

Start a break up diary

Synopsis

 

To help you feel better after the breakup, it is always better to put things in writing. To start a breakup diary is simple; prepare a notebook and a pen. However, the choice of how to make it personal is up to you. A breakup diary can come in many forms, either being a journal, scrapbook or a memoir – choose the best that can help you to survive your breakup.

 

 

A Diary

 

 

When you write in bad or stressful moments, you will usually end up feeling better. Writing out what you most probably would keep to yourself will help you to vent out your anger, grievance, unhappiness, etc.

You will gain more control of your life. At night before sleeping, write down what had happened in the day or any events in your life. This enables you to reflect back, on what you have done, and allows you to correct your mistakes if you have any.

It clears your mind. You put creativity in writing about your life events, such as word choice, the format (poems, dialog, plain text, etc), or you could use drawings rather than writing. These actions allow your thoughts to be on creative ideas, rather than putting yourself in pain and stress.

It improves your mental health. Write about your stressful moments or emotional events. Therefore, having a breakup diary would help in healing and recovery from a bad breakup.

You should consider the daily entries to be included in your breakup diary format. Try to develop a habit of writing daily. However, it is okay if you miss out any day – just move on with your current day’s events. Do remember to keep this diary personal and private, so that you can release your thoughts freely.

Chapter 7:

Work hard and keep yourself busy

Synopsis

 

You should not become more negative after you experienced a bad breakup. You should not be a sad, depressed and pathetic person for too long as this may become a habit. You must understand that even though you lost your partner of whom you loved most, you did not lose everything.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stay Busy

 

 

Work hard. This is the time for you to strive harder for yourself, and achieve greater performance in your work. Work towards getting yourself a salary raise, a higher promotion, or a great offer that satisfies you.

If possible, relocate yourself to a better place. Move to another place for better job opportunities or use it as a way of staying away from your ex, and avoiding any contact. This will allow you to pay full attention for your work.

Take up more recreational activities. Go for gym sessions, cycling, walkathons and any other physical activities which will benefit you and your physical health too.

Chapter 8:

Taking care of yourself

Synopsis

 

Breakups can be very painful, as someone you loved and spent time with the most, now rejects you, or that someone who once loved you the most no longer does. Since you cannot reverse the breakup, it is time for you to lift your spirits up, be strong, and survive the relationship. It can be hard to pick yourself up, but you can start with the first step – taking care of yourself.

 

 

 

 

 

Take Care

 

 

Do not let yourself fall sick. Do not allow the negative feelings and emotions to affect your physical health. Avoid thinking too much. Do not get too depressed as it could make you become physically weary, which may affect your daily routines. Most importantly, get enough rest and sleep.

Avoid self-destructive habits. Do not take drugs. Do not start smoking heavily, or become drunk often. These will never help you to feel better; instead, it may destroy you, over time. Do also bear in mind, beside your ex, there are people out there who still care and love you, especially your family and friends.

Do not fool around with love. Before you fully understand and handle the breakup, do not rush into the next relationship; do not go around sleeping with others, just because you want to get back at your ex or because you feel no one cherish you anymore. Please respect yourself, and do not lower your self-esteem.

Keep up with your daily routines. After the breakup, release your emotions. Cry hard, be sulky, and be angry but don’t indulge in these for too long. Get back to your daily routines as soon as possible. Getting back to normal or even become a better person is better for you and those around you. Learn to focus on happy thoughts and actions.

Chapter 9:

Moving on & start a new lifestyle

Synopsis

 

Staying positive is the best way to heal your pain and recover from a bad breakup.

There are many great things in future ready for you to discover and own them.

 

 

 

 

 

Move On

 

 

Get away. You may consider changing your working location, or settle your life somewhere else. Go overseas for further studies or better job opportunities if you can. This is a good way of getting rid of thoughts of the breakup and living with past memories.

Increase your knowledge. Start having reading habits, or do plantings, etc. You can start a new lifestyle by indulging in something that you would love to do and it can benefit you. You may even learn more by taking lessons on a different language, cooking, golf lessons, or you can further your studies to get a PhD degree.

Pamper yourself. Now as you are being single, give yourself a better life. Go for relaxation spa, reflexology, or pick up Yoga, practice meditations to enhance your outer and inner beauty. Pick up a sport, a hobby or interest to do when you are free. Socialize with others, as it provides a healthier well-being condition, mentally, psychologically, and emotionally. Hang out with your business partners even after work for leisure. Have a nice shopping day with your best girlfriends.

When you are ready to move on and leave behind the breakup completely, make the right decision for yourself, to find a better future partner for a more serious relationship, or stay being single. This time, try not to let it fail again because you experienced this painful heartbreak before.
