The break up with your boyfriend was already so painful but to get over him is another thing. But whether you like it or not, life still goes on. You still need to wake up in the morning and try to muster up the strength to do things with the same enthusiasm as before. It will take some time for you to heal, but you have to try hard.

All of us have our different ways of dealing with pain, but personally I feel that there are simple things that you need to do in your lives that will help you to get over him and move on.

1. Kick Start Your Day in the Right Way

Go for a jog in the morning, it not only helps you in keeping your body fit but also lets your body stretch and breathe in some fresh air. Staying at home and thinking about your ex is not going to do you any good. A jog or brisk walk in the morning will start your day with a fresh note. Plug in your I-pod and listen to your favorite tracks and see your body relax with every round that you take.

2. I, Me, Myself

Take time out for yourself, and spend some time alone away from everyone. This is the time when you need to sit down and think on how you want to see your life. Plan how you would like to see your future. Since you’ve had a breakup now, the plans made when you were together will hold good no more. Think about how you could get your life back on track and not make the same mistakes again. Take the time out to retrospect about your own life.

3. Stack Away Your Memories

Get rid of everything that remind you of your ex boyfriend. Throw away all those love notes and cards that you’ve read more than a thousand times already. They don’t have any importance in your life no more. Take away all the photos and gifts that he has given you and anything that will work against letting you get over your boyfriend. You may choose to burn the notes, cards, photographs and give away the gifts to some charity or street kids. But get yourself rid of all his memories in terms of things around you, because every time you glance at them you will be reminded of him.

4. Resist the Temptation

Resist the urge to see him or call him. It is very difficult to forget him all of a sudden but you can do yourself good by trying as much to keep away from him in order to get over him. Calling him just to hear his voice will only make you more depressed. Don’t visit the places that you know he would visit. Don’t go back to places that you used to hang out together as you will miss him although more and be tempted to meet him.
