Ways to get better from break up

It’s hard to get over a breakup. The main reason is because most men cling to a small hope of getting back with the woman who just broke their heart.This is a tough cycle. First, you feel the pain of the break up itself. Then you add gut wrenching hope that she will one day realize she made a mistake, fill regretful for breaking up with you, and come back to you again. And the last pain is felt: the realization she is out of your life for good.Fortunately there is a way to make a breakup less painful and be able to recover from it quickly. I will discuss exactly how to do that in this article.

In a relationship, there are things you can control and things you can’t control. Once a woman has decided to leave you, you cannot prevent her from doing so. However you can control how you respond to her leaving. Most men respond by making the situation a lot harder to go through than it has to be. Their behavior typically is along these lines: they mope around for a while, looking at photographs taken of them and their lover, and generally get trapped in thinking about how things were.Danger: this path to breakup recovery is fraught with peril. What you are doing is intensify your emotions of grief, compounding your loneliness by revisiting what once was that will never be again. This is typically how most men handle a breakup.there is a better way. I’ll be the first to admit that breaking up is hard. But to lessen the sting, you mustn’t dwell on your negative emotions. Instead of thinking about the past, think about the future.I think it’s important for you to understand that a breakup is typically harder for a man than a woman. Why? Because a key aspect of recovering from a break up is by going out with new people. Men in general have a tougher time with going out with new women than women do with men. Women can simply go to any social situation and have men approach her. A distraught, grief stricken man not only has to deal with his emotions, but he must also prepare for approaching a new woman and feel the pain of being rejected again.

To make matters worse, he must approach her in a diminished capacity, still carrying around his sadness for his recent breakup.

So how does a man recover from a breakup quickly? First, you must snap out of your "victim mentally". You only start to recover from a break up when you stop feeling sorry for yourself. Repeat to yourself: "Life will go on." It always does.Next, you must avoid living in the past and revisiting those painful emotions. Sometimes you have to amputate a limb before the disease can spread to the body. It’s painful, but it’s quick and better than the alternative. You must have the same approach with old love letters, mementos and photos. Burn them or throw them away. If you find this too difficult to do, it means you are still stuck hoping she will come back to you and you are in a desperate situation.

By destroying these mementos though, you will give yourself permission to move on. this is very important.It’s also important to surround yourself with others who DO care about you. Close friends and family. Now is a perfect time to strengthen those relationships. Chances are you have probably neglected a few of them because of all the time you were spending with your now ex-girlfriend. Also, use this time to do something for yourself to increase your self esteem. Learn something new, improve your skills, or start getting in better shape.Finally, don’t let her control your life anymore. Make a commitment to get back out in the dating world and find someone who is of even higher quality than her. If you want to talk about increasing your self esteem, nothing is better for this than finding someone even more desirable and attractive than the person who broke up with you.

Doing so will actually make you thank her for breaking up with you in the first place.

Giver

The bloodmobile is coming again; I’ll be on one of the couches. I like to be there. I’ve been donation blood all of my adult life because it is something simple that I can do that directly benefits others. So it is good for me to be there.

Every now and then I receive a notice telling me that I have donated a gallon. To the one giving the notice it is a big deal. But I don’t even know how many of those one-gallon notices I’ve received over the years.

What I do remember are the words that a nurse said: "Your blood will help at least two people." Now, that’s something to think about. It makes me feel good.

It is so easy to donate blood. In a short time it all comes back anyway. I don’t know how my body goes that, it just does. It’s like tithing, I never seem to go replace what I’ve given. It isn’t automatic. Some people teach we should give to get. I don’t teach that. We give whether or not we receive, but experience does show that the care of God for us promised in Scripture is there. Or love. I find that loving someone makes me feel more loved. I can’t seem to give love away. It keeps me coming back.

Kindness too. People keep treating me kindly when I do a kindness to them. I can’t give kindness away either. These are interesting miracles. They keep happening. Some people miss out, of course I know that. I’ve heard that only about 5 percent body loves me, nobody ever does anything for me." That’s their focus-"me."

Well, I’m selfish too. After all, they serve refreshments at the bloodmobile for those who donate. Last time, as the nurse gently inserted the needle into my arm and the blood flowed into the tube, I grinned at her and said. "I’ll don anything for a cookies."

28 days left

Gee! How time flies when were having fun. I couldn’t succumb the fact that there are only 28 days left in my student life. After 14 years of intense studying, I will be graduating. This is the time wherein I have to say my farewells and buh-byes to everything. Well, almost.

Here’s what I have learned in my 14 years of life:

    * Studying is an important factor in a student. It begins in nursery and ends when you finally come to your senses that studying is useless. In my case, around 2nd year college.

    * Friends. They are as important as studying too. They bring you up when you’re down. They make you smile for no reason at all. They cheer you up when you are in your trying times. They could also bite you in the back so painful, you wont even have the time to say "ouch".

    * Learn to love your teachers. Loving them is the first stepping stone to actually passing their subjects.

    * Have a sport, join clubs and organizations, make yourself busy. This is the only time that you will be able to release your anger and take a time out from your hectic schedules.

    * Have an insurance policy. I mean, in exams, quizzes, or any other foolishness your school has to offer. Cheat once in a while. It’s healthy.

    * Never ever study hours before an exam. Everything will go down the drain.

    * Try to have a total image make-over. This will make you the talk of the town. Loosen that hair, shave those body hair. try to look good. Who knows. Maybe you’ll be the nest head turner.

    * Try to make as many friends as possible. Take note, never fall in love.

    * Learn some study techniques. My secret is that I don’t study that much. I take my time to listen to some boring stuffs. Take that from me. It’s usually effective.

    * Be your best at everything that you do. If you play for a varsity team, try to become the team captain. For popularity’s sake.

    * Never intend to make your school as a dating place. You are there to learn and not to flirt.
    * Never mix school and work. Oil and water will never mix. It’s a waste of energy.

    * Try to make things subtle. Never make your emotions a hindrance to your totality. Share them and try to not make them destroy another human being.

    * In case of emergency, run to the mall. Pay 10 pesos and voila!! Problem solved. If you don’t have that much money, ask your classmates for a roll of tissue paper, run like wild to the CR and pray the holy rosary so that no one will go in.

    * Get ample time for sleep. Believe me. You’re gonna need it.

    * Never believe. Just trust. There’s a thin line of difference. Search for it.

    * Once in a while, get drunk, party wild, go out with friends. It’s also healthy. It’s a time for some rest and recreation. Until blood is shed and bones are broken.

28 days more to go and still I haven’t learned to let go of this. I still don’t want to graduate. There a piece of me that needs to do something and I can’t put my finger on it. Life must go on. Umm.. buh-bye??
