The Foolproof Way to Get Over Your Ex

If I told you there was only one thing you had to do to get over your breakup, would you do it?

Think about that for a minute. You have to do only one thing and you’re guaranteed to get over the pain of your breakup that much quicker. This one thing will make all the difference, not only in how you handle the breakup, but also in how quickly you move on. Sound too good to be true? It’s not!

Are you ready? Here it is. All you have to do to ensure an easier post-breakup recovery is this: Stop thinking about your ex.

Now I know what you might be thinking—I’ve just asked you to do the impossible. But I haven’t and that’s the brilliance of the secret weapon! When I told you to stop thinking about your ex, I didn’t mean you could never have another thought about him. What I meant was the key to getting through your breakup as smoothly as possible is to put the focus on you—your healing and your new life, not on your ex and his new life. The sooner you let go of wondering where he is, who he’s with (stop that!) and what he’s doing, the sooner you’ll be able to move on.

But here’s the catch. Only you have the power to do this. If you give yourself permission here and now to let go of your ex and move on from this breakup, you will do it. And six months from now, just imagine where you’ll be.

Reasons why you might not want to let go.
If the idea of letting go of your ex excites you, congratulations! You’re extraordinarily brave and bold and ready to move on. However, if the idea completely terrifies you, you’re not alone. Walking away from a significant other, even after a breakup, may be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do.
