Grieve first!

Yes, we mean it! You have to grieve over it, to get some closure. Many people can accept ‘death’ faster than accepting a ‘break-up’. It is this disbelief that keeps them hooked on to the hopes of a future, which may never happen. So, get angry, cry your heart out, and write hateful messages expressing your feelings, and anything else, which would help you to relieve your emotions. Providing an outlet to the pent-up emotions will help you get over things faster!

Identify yourself!

The way you see yourself is crucial in understanding the level of your confidence. Your partner’s view of you, as an individual or as a ‘better half’, should not make you shape an image about yourself. We try to hide our less-than-perfect selves and the broken parts from the outer world in the fear of being type-casted as weak personalities. So, whether he called you fat or she called you a loser, it doesn’t mean that you see yourself like that. Don’t let their perception shape your identity.

Get your life back!

We asked you to open up about your feelings, but why cry over spilt milk over and over again? Get a grip of your life. You had a beautiful life before “that” person came along, right? So, why not again? Feel good about yourself- have your teeth whitened, buy new outfits that compliment your figure, get a new and funky hairstyle. Also, meet up with your buddies, as they are the ones who care about you, and who can help you as well.

Think beyond yourself!

Think of ways to put your strengths into use, in ways that might benefit others. If you are a good cook, volunteer at a social service organisation's kitchen or make meals for the needy people around your place. If you are a sympathetic and good listener, visit a senior’s residence or care facilities for the deprived, and help them. There is a world way beyond your emotional issues, where "real-world" problems lie. Bringing joy to others would make you see the broader (and much brighter) picture of life. Also, it would do wonders to your self-confidence.

Set goals

If you are having a hard time in finding reasons to get out of the bed, convince yourself that you are not worthy of much more. Set concrete goals that would remind you of your accomplishments and motivate you to work better. Your goals can be anything- short-term or long-term, for your own good or wider good, anything. But, you need some goals in life to divert your attention and your energy!
