Reeling from a Recent Break Up? How to Feel Better Immediately

Stop torturing yourself with happy images about your life with your ex.

It sounds simple, and it can be; however, you must commit to the process and choose to redirect your thoughts. For example, every time you find yourself thinking about missing your ex or some pleasurable event that’s now absent in your life, stop and remember something awful.

After all, you broke up. There were many things that weren’t working in the relationship. Take a mental inventory of the negative experiences that happened. Pick a few meaningful examples. Spend a little time remembering the sights, sounds, and feelings that accompanied the experiences. Engage all your senses and fill out the image. For some people, it helps to write things down.

It’s important to realize that you’re not doing this to dwell on negative experiences. You’re just going to replace the kind of thinking that makes you feel sad and hopeless with an effective reality check. The reality is: there are reasons why you split up and the relationship was broken. Instead of thinking in ways that make you feel bad, you can counter that automatic, passive way of thinking with images that fit the reality and move you toward feeling better.

Right now, your only job is healing and getting back into balance. You can decide what to do next after you’ve found your equilibrium.

You don’t have to feel awful. You don’t have to face each day feeling powerless. You can choose to take control of your thoughts and start feeling better right now.
