Why does this always happen to me? If you’re asking yourself this while sitting next to an empty wine bottle or a dozen empty Kit Kat wrappers, you’re not alone. This thing called love is not an easy game to play. Especially if you keep losing.
If you’ve ever been in a relationship, chances are you’ve had your heart broken. The question is, how do you get over it? There really is no easy way, unless you’re the ice queen! Some deal with a pint of Ben & Jerrys, others cry their eyes out until they’re swollen shut. Some move right on to the next! Just like a taxi- another will be along in 5 minutes! There’s got to be an in between, right? While you are pondering that question, here are a few simple things to remember while mending your broken heart.
Expect more- tolerate less: Despite thinking that all men are self-loathing, egocentric, cheating jerks, remind yourself that really isn’t true. You’re just upset and hating the world right now. If you don’t demand a man treat you with respect, he probably won’t. Don’t allow yourself to be walked on and do not tolerate unacceptable behavior. That’s just asking to be let down. If you set expectations for a man, more than likely he will live up to them. Being open and honest is very important.
Lighten up: Not only on the calories you’re inhaling right now, but the guilt you are laying on so thick that a torpedo couldn’t penetrate it. Things happen for a reason. If your relationship didn’t work out, it obviously was not meant for either of you. Learn from your mistakes and move on. There’s no point in beating yourself up or that pillow you’re about to land a right hook on.
Keep yourself busy: Whatever you do, DON’T sit by the phone waiting for a call or text. You will drive yourself mad- and chances are, he’s not going to. If you could work through your problems, you probably wouldn’t have broken up in the first place. Get up, get dressed and get out! Put on your skinny jeans and fabulous stilettos, make a date with the girls, and get back out there! Your prince charming may be waiting for you…
If you keep yourself from being vulnerable, speak up when something is wrong, and do not become insecure, you won’t get caught up in trying to please a man and forget about having fun. A man’s opinion of you should never mean more to you than your own opinion of yourself. Live in the moment, worry less and smile more. And believe me, your life will be a whole lot happier.
