Get Over Your Ex In 72 Hours
Five fast easy steps to heal from heartbreak

I met this guy some time ago, we connected on so many levels and we would have long conversations about different issues. The conversations turned me on. The attraction was there on both sides but it didn’t take me long to figure out he is a player and I had to move on despite the attraction. It was sad that we could not carry on with the relationship because I am not polyamorous. I knew trying to change him or make him see reason was a fight I was going to lose.
One of the hardest things to do is getting over someone you were once with, someone that you shared your time, energy, and life with at a particular point in time. When the time comes when you have to go your separate ways, it hits hard for most people. You are not just breaking up with the person physically, you are breaking up with a habit, with routines that you have created by being with the person and with the hope for the future or with your vision of what your future would look like with the person.
Apart from the emotional burden, it is a mental burden and you must now find ways to detach yourself mentally, psychologically, and otherwise from the person. It is hard to do and can be a very painful process, however, the process can be less painful and faster if you follow these tips
1. Your mindset
How do you view break-ups in general? Do you see it as a loss on your part? Do you start thinking of the time, money, and things that you lost? Well, you have to reset your mindset. Stop viewing them as a loss as such but as am experience. Sure you lost some time and you invested in the relationship but we lose a lot of things in the course of our lives and it is only natural that we’d make some investments that won’t pan out as we hoped.
2. Think of the positives
My friend introduced me to a guy some time ago, I really just wanted to have fun that evening but we ended up making out and it was one of the best nights ever. My juices were flowing effortlessly. A few days later, we met and had sex and it was the kind of sex I watch in movies, passionate, tickling all my senses and making me feel like the best thing in the moment. I swear, I wanted more and I knew I wanted commitment in the moment but he wasn’t ready for that. So I was simply grateful for the opportunity to confirm that I was not broken but most of the men I had been with were clueless like I suspected. Find the positives in the relationship and be grateful for them. It might be tricky because it might lead you back but if you can find that balance, think of the times you had a good time with the said person as something to be grateful for. If you laughed, felt giddy and good, then you should be grateful for the opportunity you were given (not necessarily by your ex) to have had such a good time because let’s face, it you could have been single and bored.
3. Think of the negatives
Be grateful that you don’t have to deal with all of that anymore. I mean that was the reason y’all broke up in the first instance so be grateful you don’t have to deal with their nonchalant attitude, their uncaring attitude, that you have to make up excuses for their bad behavior, that you are no longer trying to make them commit and you can now expend your energy on more productive things. That you get to spend more time with your friends and family, that you can now cut your hair in the way that you have always liked which they didn’t like. That you can simply do as you wish and you don’t have to consider them. Be grateful for all those little things and you’ll find that you start feeling better immediately.
4. Be excited
Being single again is another opportunity to find someone better. You can’t be newly single and be thinking negatively, it is going to make you go back to that bad relationship. Instead, be positive and believe that you have another opportunity to make a better choice. Instead of thinking all men/women are the same so you won’t get someone better, have the mindset that you want someone who is going to live up to your standard you’ll find yourself gravitating towards such people or when you meet the people who won’t make the effort you want, you realize it for what it is quickly and you move on.
5. Find the little things that bring you joy and do them
If you were planning to get them a gift on their birthday and you still want to gift, find someone else to get a gift. I bet that your friend will feel good when you get them that huge red velvet cake. Find joy in talking to new people without the pressure of trying to date them or figure out if they tick all your list or not. Garden, cook yourself a nice meal, maybe you’ll find that solitude isn’t all that boring after all. Watch your favorite show. I know you have forgotten how to have fun on your own but by taking baby steps, you’ll feel better within a month, I promise.
