get over someone

Basically these are things you can do to get over someone that broke your heart. Its hard to do but the things I'll list really do work.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • self control
  1. Step 1

    Before you can even begin any of the steps you have to decide if the relationship was worth saving. So take a moment and think about the reason it ended... really think about everything and you have to decided right here and now that you want to move on, you want to get over it.

  2. Step 2

    Get all the pictures, gifts, reminders of this person and a) either throw them away or b) put them in a box and put them in the farthest corner of a room you never go in to. I know that there will be memories in different places, scents and songs and I know those are things you can't put in a box.. but if its a place, try to avoid it if possible, if its a scent, just walk away from it, and if its a song, just change the station.

  3. Step 3

    If you're in school, start up a plan that whenever you're not working or sleeping you're studying, or doing homework, or reading. If you're not in school and there has been something you've been wanting to work on, now is the PERFECT time to start it.. and if you don't have anything.. well start a hobby, even if it searching for singles on a dating website. Something to get your mind off of the negative and into the positive idea that you will move on to better things!

  4. Step 4

    This is an optional step but this one has really great results, if you can try to get away from where you are. A mini-vacation if you will.. just going someplace new really does help.

  5. Step 5

    The last thing I advise is other then studying harder, or starting a new hobby to get your mind off things, the other best thing you can do is go out with your friends (of course not mutual friends) and just have a good time, whenever you friends invite you somewhere (not to bad places) just go! Have a good time! And while you're there if there are new people meet them! Make new friends! Make plans again!

Tips & Warnings
  • for this to work you really have to have the mentality that you want to move on, you have to want it bad.
  • If you have a myspace account and he/her is on it, either a)avoid myspace, b) cancel myspace.
