4 Easy Steps to Getting Over a Break Up

Author: Dave Islington

When dealing with getting over a break up we often dwell on things we can't change. There is no point going over and over in your mind things you cannot change. You need to focus on what you can change. There are several things you can do to deal with getting over a break up but in this article we will deal with the four best and least painful ways.

Let it All Go

Deal with your emotions, don't bottle anything up. If you feel angry, let it loose at the gym or in the garden on some project that would benefit from your aggression. Do not let it loose on people. If you are upset, have a good cry, it's all part of the healing process. If you are frustrated, write your thoughts down, you will be amazed how better you feel after. Keep a journal or let rip on a forum or blog. But the main thing is to let your emotions out; they are all part of the grieving process.

Get Out and About

You need to force yourself to go out and socialise. It won't be easy for some people but it is necessary. Spend time with people that love you, good friends and family, anyone that cares about you and will help you deal with this part of the process. Go out to restaurants, wine bars, clubs anything to get you out the house and with people that care about you.

Explore Your Freedom

Meeting new people is something you will have to do eventually so why not give it a go now. You never know what might happen and think positive; you may meet some really great people. I'm not talking about dating but pressure free conversations with new people. New people will be more interesting than the people you already know and will act as a great distraction from the getting over a break up feelings you are experiencing.

Allow Yourself Time

Everyone is different and so are the circumstances that create rifts between people. Give yourself adequate time to deal properly with getting over a break up. It's not easy and there are no easy answers sometimes but trying to do this quickly may cause more damage than good. You need to build your future on sound emotional foundations so that you can deal with anything that life throws at you in the future.

When I was growing up in London, England the old Cockneys used to say ‘what doesn't kill you, makes you strong' and getting over a break up is exactly what they mean. You fold or you get on with life and grow in character and become a better person because of it. We learn in life from every event that befalls us. We tend to learn more from the painful ones so use this negative event to be a positive and stronger person. Misery or happiness can be around any corner so we have no choice but to keep walking.

I hope this has helped and as we say in London... ‘be lucky'!

5 Ways To Write Getting Back Together Letters

There are a million different ways to try to win back your ex. One of the best methods to getting back with an ex is to write getting back together letters. These letters can help your ex to better understand your emotions. You may be able to talk them into giving your relationship a second chance through these emotions. If you are thinking about writing a letter to your ex, you have a few different options and methods to choose from.

Write Emails

If you are trying to get your point across to your ex as fast as possible, use email messages for your letters. These messages will reach your ex faster than any other method. There is an issue with this method, however, as some exes may see an email as impersonal. Be sure to be sincere and thoughtful in your message, as this will overshadow the impersonal nature of an email.

Write Hand-Written Notes

If you want to be romantic, write a hand-written note. These notes are seen as incredibly thoughtful and romantic. Your ex may see these as thoughtful and romantic because you took the time to make something for them. Handwritten notes are also seen as more personal. This could be a signal to your ex that you are taking time out of your life to get them back into your life.

Give With Gifts

Some people see gifts as thoughtful and cute. Others see gifts as unnecessary bribes. If your ex is someone who enjoys gifts, consider a gift with the letter. This small gift simply shows your ex that you are thinking about them. It shows that you are interested, and that you’ve paid attention to the things that they would enjoy.

Deliver Without Gifts

It can be easy to throw the kitchen sink at your ex. You want to give them everything, and show them all of your emotions at once. You may want to consider avoiding gifts with the letters. Use the letters as a starting point. If your ex is responding to these letters, gifts may be an important and powerful next step. By starting without gifts, you are getting a feel for their thoughts on the situation as a whole.

Use Song Lyrics

If you want to try something different and unique, compose a letter that is comprised of nothing but song lyrics. This is a time-consuming project that will show your ex that you are taking your tie to be thoughtful and unique as you try to win them back.

You need to take your ex’s personality into consideration when you choose your method. The method should speak to their emotions. While some will see an e-mail as impersonal, others will see it as thoughtful. While some will see a gift as a bribe, others will see it as a nice gesture. Choose the method that is the best communication method for you and your ex. If you are going to write getting back together letters, you will want to make sure that they hear your message loud and clear.

If your relationship is worth saving you need to act fast. A happy and long lasting relationship is the best we can achieve in this life emotionally. Every effort we make to do this is never a waste of time if we find true love in the end.

The circumstances of your marriage breakdown will dictate how hard this process is going to be. However, no matter what the circumstances are all relationships can be saved with respect, love, a great strategy and positive action! You may have to swallow your pride and seek marriage guidance from a professional counsellor. If you find this difficult there are online relationship therapists that are more discrete and many people find them easier to deal with. But, don't use those dating websites for reconciliation advice. Don't forget they benefit from people splitting up not getting back together.

The first thing you need to work out is how much you want your ex back. If you are not sure you will not be successful. As we know in life a half hearted attempt is no attempt at all. To put in the effort needed to get your lover back and rekindle that glorious flame of passion that we all crave in life, you will have to be sure this is the person for you. Apart from the fact that you will be wasting a whole load of your life, it's cruel to your lover to win their heart and realise you don't really love them but just didn't like being dumped.

You marriage is never going to work if you don't both really love each other. There has to have been love their in the first place for you to rekindle it. So ask yourself before embarking on this love quest, did your partner truly love you before your relationship deteriorated? You know the old cliché about burning embers, well… it's very true and there has to be an ember for rekindling to be successful. If you can get over your issues and the embers are there then the flames of passion will rise once you remove whatever is dampening them down.

True love takes time and you need to become friends again first before you can move on to full on love and passion. Sometimes what happens in relationships is that a couple still love each other deep down but like all friendships, there are deep issues and rifts that they need to thrash out intellectually. No bickering, no shouting and no aggression will solve this only adult and intellectual debate. The deep love you have for each other will resurface once you repair your friendship for each other. Your lover has to be your best friend as well and soul mate or your relationship will not stand the test of time.

You need to do a lot of adult talking on neutral ground so arrange baby sitters if necessary and spend some time together in a calm and neutral environment. Find out what you both want from the relationship and most important what you don't want. There are solutions and compromises all through our life and we need to get skilled at managing ourselves in this way. If you truly love each other you will aim to please and make one another happy without any obvious reward. But when you get it right the rewards are huge and you can face anything life throws at you if you have a strong and loving relationship.
Don't be afraid to seek relationship or marriage guidance, true love is always worth fighting for!
