How to Get Over a Breakup and Move On Stronger

Getting over a breakup is a lot like getting over a cold. It feels absolutely miserable in the moment and you wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. But, much like when you’re sick, there are things you can do to heal a broken heart that will make you a happier, healthier person.
Here are five ways to get over a breakup and come out stronger on the other side:
1. Allow yourself to wallow.The first step to getting over a breakup is taking time to mourn it. Heartbreak is devastating, and nobody expects you to be completely fine right away. One of best things you can do to get over a breakup is embrace your emotions. Let yourself feel every feeling. If you move on too quickly, you risk bringing hurt, anger, resentment, and unresolved feelings into your next romance.
2. Make a clean break.When couples break up, someone inevitably asks: Can we stay friends? The other partner might say, Yes, of course, to be polite. But now is not the time to be polite; it’s the time to protect your heart. If you break up with someone, the best thing you can do for your heart is to avoid contacting them, especially at first. Being friends with someone you once had a serious romantic relationship with won’t work out exactly how you picture it. Simply put, it’s best for both parties to make a clean break.
3. Lean on your friends and family.When you go through a breakup, your friends and family members will say things like, Let me know if you need anything and I’m here to talk if you want. And you should take them up on their offers! They’re not just saying it to be nice; it’s because they genuinely care about you and want to help you through a tough time. When you’re ready, reach out and confide in a trusted family member or get lunch with a caring friend. You’ll be surprised by how cathartic it is.
4. When you’re ready, reflect on the relationship.Despite the pain, breakups are a great time for reflection and personal growth. To progress from the healing phase into the moving on process, be honest with yourself about your role in the relationship. Take stock of what kind of partner you were, what you valued in your partner, and what you feel that your relationship lacked. This way, when you’re ready to start dating again, you’ll have a clearer idea of what you’re looking for in a match.
5. Remember that it’s not always going to hurt this much.It can be hard to see it in the moment, but you WILL eventually move on from a breakup. The heartbreak will hurt less and less until one day, you’ll realize that you’re doing great without your ex. It might not happen right away, but it will get easier and you will be ready to find love again one day.
There’s no one correct way to get over a breakup. Every relationship — and end of a relationship — is different. But if you’re honest, gentle, and patient with yourself, your heart will be on the mend in no time.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems. Turmeric has been found to help fight off inflammation with almost the same efficacy as anti-inflammatory medication, just without the side effects. 2.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
