It's hard to get over the feelings of loneliness, emptiness, depression and sadness when a breakup has occurred.
Overcoming these feelings amongst others is the first step to getting your life back on track and feeling good about yourself again.
Brainstorming about the situation, what has happened, where you are and where you want to end up can really help to get your thoughts and feelings out, and is an easy and constructive way of facing the situation straight on.
Firstly, grab a pen and paper and sit somewhere quiet so you can have a good old think.
To start off make a list of 3 things you want to achieve in the next 3 months.
This can include things such as being a little more social, looking after your own well-being or finding a new hobby to enjoy.
It is alright to write more than 3 things in this list if you're finding yourself wanting to achieve more in the following 3 months as well.
Next, take a look at this list and write a sentence for each goal detailing what each one means to you.
For example, if you were wanting to get out more and be more sociable what does that entail? Finding places to go and people to go with is a start to that goal.
Now think of a way to get from where you are to the goals you have set for yourself.
If your goal was to feel more attractive on the inside and out, then think of what changes you can make to your diet and what exercises you could do to achieve weight loss and feel good.
If another one of your goals was to take up a hobby or interest, look into what's available and actively pursue it.
Once you know the goals you want to undertake and how you can reach those goals, you need to consider how much time you want to commit to each of them during the week.
If you wanted to lose a little weight as part of one of your goals then you will need to set aside at least 4 to 5 hours of exercise a week to achieve a good result within 3 months.
Whereas a goal to socialize more is not going to take up that much time in your week as you can use your evenings and weekends to enjoy a couple of hours out with friends, and even making new ones.
The whole point of brainstorming after a break up is to show you that change is possible if you follow a clear plan.
Of course, getting over feelings of depression and sadness is never easy, but having a goal to work towards makes it easier and makes you more determined to get there.
It does take some time to get into a routine of doing things differently and you don't want to overwhelm yourself with all these goals at once.
Take the time to work on each one separately and once you have made one goal a part of your daily routine, move onto the next in the list.
This will help enormously in your break up recovery.
