Top 5 Ways To Get Over A Heartbreak
- Jameelah Kareem

When you and a significant other part ways it can be such a depressing time in your life.  Sometimes women can find themselves stuck in a rut which can ultimately lead to problems in their personal and professional lives.  A lack of motivation to move on can really have you in a place where only a miracle can get you out!

Top Five Miracles...

1. Acceptance- Take some time to accept that it is over. You can’t move on unless you really know that it’s done. Realize it’s not going to work and that you’re not going to go back to him and he is not going to come back to you. It has come to an end.

2. Spend time with loved ones- Those other significant people in your life that you’re not romantically involved with are there to comfort you. They are there to pick you up when you’re down. Call your friends, have a girls’ night out and have a couple drinks. (Note: No drunk dialing allowed. Hide your phone from yourself or leave it at home.) Enjoy spending time with your girls without thinking about that man. Also, your family would love to see you! Give them a call.  This will help you realize there is life outside your ex man.

3. Focus on your career- This is always a great way to get your mind off of things.  Your career is always very important and it is always great to work your hardest.  The only thing I warn about this is to not get so involved in your career and only your career that you don’t spend time on the other things in your life. 

4.  Let this break up baggage go- Make sure that you are able to meet new men and not hold a grudge or a build a wall up.  That can easily ruin what could potentially be a great relationship or even for starters, a friendship.  Realize that your ex is one man and that you can still meet great men.  There are good ones all over!

5. Work on yourself-  Figure out ways you can improve yourself as a single woman. Even if it’s something as small as kicking a bad habit such as biting nails. Work on the things that you want to work on within yourself. Do the things that make you happy like go to the gym, start eating healthy, work on your hobbies, and spend more time with family. All those new years’ resolutions that never happened, this is a great time to start them. You will begin to love yourself more and more and when you do meet a new man you will feel as though you have so much to offer. It builds a confidence and even raises your standards so you don’t fall for the same type of man as your ex.

Letting go of a relationship is hard, but there isn’t anything in life worth having that’s easy.
