Almost many girls go through life having their hearts broken by a guy or girl, they like. It can be painful and stressful. Heart breaks aren’t easy to get over and they are not great either.

When it seems like you found the guy or girl of your dream, and you really want to date them. However, they don’t feel the same way or like someone else. Basically, leaving your heart broken into million of pieces.

For some, it takes a long time for them to get over the person that they really like. For others, they can easily move on and not care it all.

People handle heart breaks in different ways, but here I list 7 ways that you can do to make yourself feel better and help heal the painful heartbreak that you don’t want to feel anymore.

1. Cry it out

Sometimes to get over a terrible heart break, you need to cry it out. Crying it out doesn’t make you weak and stupid. It helps releases the pain and it gives you that one step you need to try and get over your crush or ex. Sometimes the pain is too hard to handle, but crying it out will give you relief and let all that emotion out of your system. It’s one of the best things you can do to get over a heartbreak.

2. Talk it out

If you are not the emotional crying type but need to let that pain out and the emotion out, without crying. Then, talk it out with your close friends, mom, or anyone you can talk to anything about. Just like crying, it will give you a sense of relief. You can rant about your ex and crush until you don’t want to talk about it anymore. Your mom, friends, or someone close to you can give you helpful advice about it. Also, talking about it will help you come to realize that person wasn't good enough for you and it will help you rethink about certain things that you didn't notice before about your crush or ex.

3. Stop thinking about your crush or ex

This is the most important you need to do to get over your crush and ex. Constantly, thinking about them will increase the pain and it will be hard for you to get over them. At first, it makes a sense to think about them here and there. But, after a while, maybe a month later, I think it’s time to forget about them and stop thinking about them in romantic ways. You can miss them at times, but don’t let that affect your life and decision to move on. It will be hard to move on if you are constantly thinking about that person.

If you and ex/crush are friends, then that may be hard because you may constantly see them from times. But, it will be better to keep your distance, until you’re is fine with being around that person and not having any romantic feelings about them. Also, unfriending them on social media helps, if you guys aren’t friends. Then, you won’t see them all the time and see what they are doing. But, I understand that would be hard if you guys are friends. However, the less you stop thinking about that person, it will be easier to get over them and move on.

4. Hang out with your friends

Hanging out and having fun with your friends is one of the best remedies for a heartbreak. It’s good distraction and you are forgetting about the stress, pain, and that person. Your friends will always have your back and they won’t go anywhere. A night or day out with them will relax you and give you joy in life. It will bring the fun and certain type of happiness that you are missing. Friends will love you no matter what and being with them is a great distraction needed to forget about the bad things and focus on the fun and good parts of life.

5. Meet New People

Another thing, you can do is meet with new people. Meeting new people is a great distraction and probably, you will meet someone new and better (*wink wink*). It will give you something new to think about and hopefully that person you meet will be your future boyfriend or girlfriend. If not, you can gain good friends out of it and plan fun things to do all the time.

6. Do the things you love

I recommend doing the things you love. It’s another good distraction and will make you feel better. Along, with making you feel happy again. So, read a book, watch your favorite movie, go shopping, creatively write something, eat your favorite food, etc. Do anything that always makes you happy and keeps your mind far away from thinking about your ex.

7. Focus on Yourself

Lastly, focus on yourself. Start worrying about you and only you. The more you're worried about the other person and feel bad about the breakup. You will never get over your ex and still stay in the past. Try focusing on doing better in school, making your own business (if you want), making a list of goals you want to fulfill, etc. Really do anything that makes you want to be that successful and independent woman that I know you are.

Heartbreaks can be horrible and feel terrible. But, if you try these 7 things, you can make yourself feel better and help heal the painful heartbreak that you don’t want to feel anymore. Hopefully, these tips help make you feel happy again. Just remember one thing, you don't need a man or woman to be happy. You have your amazing self and the people who love you, no matter what.
