A breakup is heartbreaking, as dreams of a shared future are shattered forever. However, every ending marks a new beginning, and in most cases, we realize after a while that this decision was for the best for everyone.
However, what is surprising is that breakups from the most difficult and -perhaps- toxic relationships are the ones that are the hardest to overcome.
Relationship expert Cherlyn Chong claims there's a way to get rid of the sadness we feel in 30 days or less. All you have to do is follow these 4 steps:
Step 1: Decision
Although it sounds obvious, many people skip this step and go straight to deleting numbers, blocking on social media, and cutting off all communication. But realizing that we are finally broken up and making a decision to leave the past behind is a necessary part of the process needed to overcome a breakup.
"If you don't do this, the process will take a long time or never reach the end, as your mind will constantly return to this issue. You will wonder why he didn't call you, when he will call you and things like that. First you have to make the decision that you are going to finally break up with someone and then think about how you are going to forget him."
