If you are like most people who have just been through a break up, you are probably not very sure of what you need to do next after a break up.
This is to be expected as the break up usually comes as a shock.
Depending on your situation, here are some things that you will want to take note of.
First, after a break up, you are probably feeling extremely emotional.
At this state of mind, you will not be able to win your ex back, if that is what you really want.
Therefore, the first thing you should probably do is to give yourself sometime to recover from the break up.
Therefore, it is probably a good idea not to contact your ex for the time being.
But how long should you wait before calling your ex? Well, depending on the situation, 2 to 4 weeks is probably a good time frame.
Perhaps, your ex is undergoing the same agony as you.
So, he or she might need that time to recover emotionally as well.
There are a couple of things you can do to help yourself recover faster.
First, this is probably not a good period of time to think about your ex too often.
Thinking about your ex too often is only going to make you more depressed.
Chances are, you will not be able to help yourself.
So, what you want to do is to make sure that you do whatever you can to minimize the chances of you thinking about your ex.
One thing that you can do is to remove all stuff that will remind you of your ex.
Stuff like photographs of both of you together, gifts from your ex etc.
Of course, you do not need to throw them away.
Just keep them inside a container where you cannot see them.
All you need to do is to make sure that they are out of your sight.
