Almost all of us have been through a breakup. Some breakups are quick and painless, others could be gut-wrenching and destabilizing, but what should you do after a breakup? When you can’t stop thinking about the person who broke your heart, how do you actually move on? Here I offer a few tips to help get over the break as fast as possible so you can move on with your life.

1. Talk About It

You could either talk about it with people your trust or strangers you know you’ll never see again, but either ways find a way to get it off your chest. Talk about it with someone you cry to and wouldn’t judge you. When the people who love you know you’re hurting, they really do rally around you.

2. Cry

Don’t bury the emotions, cry all night if you need to. You could create a break up playlist and just listen as you cry or grieve, but make sure you handle the grieving process correctly. Emotional distress left bottled up could cause harm psychologically and even physical in the health.

3. Be Active

Get engaged in other activities, you could pick a hobby, try out new things, take a new class like a dance class, or even learn a language. You could also get a pet, say a nice dog, a cat or a bird. Doing some volunteering work would also be very good to get your mind off the present. Whatever you decide to do is fine, but never stay idle, idleness lets the sadness fester longer.

4. Don’t get drunk alone.

I would rather you stay off the alcohol for the time being but if you feel an impulse to get drunk alone, call some friends instead. It's one of the worst feelings, being alone and sad and drunk. There’s also a high possibility of you drunk dialing your ex. You’ll hate yourself more when you become sober

5. Go outside

Literally, go out, the fresh air has a way of clearing your head and helping you put things in better perspective. Try the park or a zoo or sightseeing, at such times you can be alone and just enjoy the beauty of creation.

6. Rebound better than before

Rebound with one incredibly hot guy or girl, if that's what you want, and then give yourself some time to decompress and remember who you are. My advice takes the next relationship slow. Just flow gradually into it.

7. Don’t Have Casual Sex

Don’t go having sex with anyone you meet just to feel the void, most of all don’t go back to have casual sex with your ex. You.re exposing yourself to more hurt.

8. Let It Go

Let go of the idea of the relationship and let the person go. Don’t go scheming on how to get revenge on them for the hurt or pain or the wrong that you may feel. Just let them go and move on.

Let them go because that is what is best for you.
