  • Find healthy distractions and engage in them. I personally love to take a walk around where I stay when I feel upset or angry or sad. I feed my eyes, breathe in some fresh air and it does actually make me feel better. So, you could engage in exercises (light ones please. Now isn’t the best time to stress your body), soul music (or whatever music you like), arts and exhibition, meet-up with friends. The best way to ensure you don’t indulge in unhealthy practices is by indulging in healthy ones.
  • Finally, breathe! Take a break from the whole love thing for a while. Don’t just go boarding the next available relationship. Matters of the heart are best approached from a steady heart. You are more likely to settle in a better relationship when you are healed and whole. Allow yourself heal properly. Plus you attract the kind of person you are. You don’t want to go about attract people who are angry and broken hearted.
