Being heartbroken is a common condition, occuring in people of nearly all ages. Whether it is caused by an inability to confess the feelings for the other person before they fall in love with somebody else, or witnessing a spouse of thirty years cheating, following four simple steps will hopefully help you mend your broken heart.First, do not surround yourself with objects that might remind you of your partner. Although you will probably feel nostalgic and want to save the remnants of the relationship, being constantly exposed to them is certain to bring - among many happy ones - painful memories of ending your relationship (or, in case of unreciprocated love, remind you of the absence of your loved one). It is not necessary to destroy or remove anything completely; simply store all the photographs and gifs in a box and then hide it in the attic or any other place you do not visit often.
Second, try to find new a hobby or a part-time job. The more occupied you will be with tasks that require concentration and dedication, the less time you will spend thinking about your relationship and the person you loved. Nevertheless, do not indulge in behaviours that might actually help you stop focsuing on the pain, but are hazardous to your well-being, like excessive drinking and taking heroin. The relief caused by substance abuse does not last long and can lead to a severe addiction.
Next, make sure to maintain civil relations with your ex-partner, even if you ended your relationship in anger or because of their despicable behavior. Do not, under any circumstances, try to take revenge on them. Hate and vindictiveness will only increase your pain and might even cause you legal problems if you decide to physically harm anyone.
Finally, remember that even if you used to perceive the person that hurt you as perfect or the relationship has been a happy one for a long time, there are many people that can make you happy again. Refusing to recognize positive traits in others because the one you loved seemed flawless will make it difficult for your broken heart to heal. No matter how many times you have been betrayed and hurt, there is still a chance for you to find someone you can share your life with.
Follow the steps mentioned above and you will be certain to heal from the trauma and pain caused by an unfortunate infatuation.
