While being in a relationship can be hard, getting out of one is even harder. There is no universal formula on how to get over your ex, there’s no formula to make yourself feel better – especially if the break-up was not mutual.<\/p>\n
However, there is a formula to get over your ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend. No one is saying it’s going to be easy; it takes time, patience and a lot of willpower but don’t let it deter you, it’s always best to be able to move on. While there is no universal formula on how to get over your ex as well, the steps listed below have definitely worked for most people.<\/p>\n
How To Get Over Your Ex<\/span><\/h2>\n
1. Allow Yourself To Be Sad<\/h2>\n
There’s nothing wrong with mourning the end of a relationship regardless of how good or bad it was. Don’t rush yourself into forgetting your ex, it doesn’t work like that \u00a0– you inadvertently end up paying them more mind. Just work through it naturally, find things to occupy your time – you’ll be surprised how you move on effortlessly.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong> You’re allowed to grieve but don’t spend too much time on it. It is important to know when to move on.<\/p>\n
2. Get A Makeover<\/h2>\n
This is not for them, this is for you. A new look will make you feel better about yourself. Hit the gym, go for a run. You might be wondering how this helps you but the truth is, if you spend time focusing on bettering yourself, you forget to ‘miss’ your ex. Also, when you hit the gym and begin to succeed at your goals whether its to lose weight or build muscle, you begin to feel better about yourself and you begin to care less about the ex.<\/p>\n
Bonus:<\/strong> You get to look drop dead gorgeous when next you run into them. Again, working on yourself is not for them (it’s for you), but it still wouldn’t hurt to see the expression on their faces when they realize you’re doing better without them; by then, you probably won’t care anyway.<\/p>\n
