There are many difficulties in getting over love.
Unfortunately, sometimes, even without thinking about it, we set ourselves up for sabotage.
This article will try to point out some of the most common pitfalls, so that you can quickly get over love.
1.
Leaving old things as they are.
One of the biggest mistakes I've seen in my days, and the one most likely to ruin your break away.
You need to get rid of all old things that you connect to your ex, whether it be photos, teddy bears, jewellery, candy, whatever.
I usually just give it back to the person that gave it to me.
That way I not only really signal the break up to the person I ended it with, but also to my own mind, that there really is no going back.
If this absolutely, for some reason, is not a choice, then I would just suggest you pack everything down and either put it away in either your basement or a self storage unit.
Otherwise you could just donate it to the salvation army or simply throw it away.
2.
Hooking up with your ex.
This point takes the well-deserved second spot.
Many times, after you've broken up, in the beginning you're getting over love just fine, but after two or three weeks you start to miss some parts of it.
Often it's the physical it's the physical intimacy.
While you might have had some from another source, it's usually just not as good as your old relationship.
You start to think that maybe you could just hook up once in a while, that you can keep it purely physical.
You can't.
The mind goes where the body is, and if you're doing all these intimate things with your ex, then you'll be at square one faster than you can say snapple.
3.
Jumping in to a new relationship.
The third and last of the big mistakes I've seen is the one where the person either jumps in to a new relationship or starts sleeping around.
Now, I'm not trying to impose any morals on you, you can probably handle that yourselves.
The only thing I'm pointing out is that after you've been in a really close relationship, then you need some recovery time.
If you give yourself this time, you'll come out of it stronger than ever.
If you don't, you'll set yourself up for failure and an emotional roller coaster.
While these three items do not cover everything, I've tried to go through what I think are the biggest hindrances on the path of getting over love.
Try to stay away from these and you'll be that much closer to your new life.
