1. Cry. It helps.
2. Talk about it. 7cups is great because we have a broad, supportive community who will listen infinitely as many times as you need us.
3. You can talk about it to your friends in real life, but make sure it isn't the ONLY thing you talk about. Be open to fresh, healthy new ways to be happy.
4. Take the word "should" out of your vocabulary. I used to beat myself up with it. "I should be over this." "I should have done this." "I should have done that." Nope! It doesn't help!
5. Exercise (releases feel-good hormones), eat nutritious food, drink enough water, get enough sleep. It's important to take care of your body so it can take care of you.
6. Focus on strengthening and building outside friendships. Isolation rarely ends well.
7. Get involved in your community. Helping others makes you feel good about yourself.
8. Accept your sadness now, but don't dwell in it. Be open to your happiness when it comes back.

I have come to known many break up tips and skills over the time that have helped me feel better. It does differ from person to person depending on how they are like. I find myself feeling better by what i call, "going back to my roots" from visting my family alot more, to listening to old music, strangely it does help. Then finding things that you like to do, hobbies, help alot. alot, alot. They give your life purpose, and meaning, which is very important after a breakup where many feel without meaning. Even finding something new that you have never done before in your life helps as well. i discovered poetry this way and it helped me alot through my breakups. I hope these are helpful to anybody that reads them

There is no such an easy thing when it comes to breakups. At first you’ll surely be overwhelmed with the emotions. Pain, hatred, sadness, confused and etc. it takes time to move on. Moving on doesnt need a to do list in order to achieve it. Only time can tell and heal all the wounds but we can do something for ourselves, step by step. Start with acceptance. Accept the fact that things do not happened the way we wanted it to be, accept that things arent meant to be, accept that you were hurt. Pain comes along with love, no one can change that. Make yourself busy. Look for new things, explore and discover. Put your attention to other things that makes you interesting.
In time, you’ll get better. Do not just sit and wait for something to happen, instead tale actions now and help yourself to heal. Take your time, no rush.

The best way to think about a break-up is by thinking of yourself, prioritizing yourself. If you have to be the one to cut off from someone, maybe put yourself in a hypothetical situation where you are on the receiving end of such a thought. How would you want things to be communicated to you? How would you want the partner to tell you what went wrong/where you went in a separate direction than them? Like they saying goes, treat others the way you would want to be treated. If you break-up in a healthy manner, you are more likely to feel better in lesser time.
