Healing from a broken heart is a slow process, but adopting certain habits can help ease the pain.

Whether you were left behind by the other person or had a mutual breakup, every person experiences separation differently.

Here are some effective ways to heal a broken heart and support yourself through the recovery process.

Set boundaries: Healing from a breakup takes time and creating distance from your ex is key to rebuilding yourself. Setting boundaries allows both sides to move on at their own pace.

Healthy Habits: Feeling good physically can help you feel better emotionally. Prioritize wellbeing by eating healthy, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep.

Self Care: During the emotional and disturbed phase, make sure you’re getting enough rest, eating healthy and engaging in activities that bring you joy, or make you feel relaxed.

Ask For Support: Lean on your loved and trusted people, who can listen and offer a shoulder to cry. In extreme cases, talk to a therapist for professional guidance.

Distract Yourself: Use your energy towards things that excite you. Adopt a hobby, take a new challenge at work or explore something you’ve always wanted to try. Distracting yourself can help you move forward.

Grieve: It’s normal for the person going through heartache to feel sadness, anger or mixed feelings during this phase. Accepting your emotions is an important part of the healing process.
