How to Get Over an Ex

You want to know how to get over an ex.

Now you probably expect me to tell you how sorry I am that it didn’t work out between you and her.

You might even expect me to tell you that it’s hard and that you should cry a lot.

But I won’t say that, no I won’t say that…

I won’t say it because you already know that it’s not easy. And I’m pretty sure you’ve already cried more than one tear.

I want to leave you with a different message:

It’s celebration time, come on!

I’m serious. The fact that you are here because you want to learn how to get over an ex tells me that you got rid of someone with who you are no longer compatible.

That’s a reason to be happy…at least in the long run.

Yeah, I know. Right now it feels terrible. But in a couple of weeks, you’ll say…

“Thank God it’s over!”

That’s why I want you to make a firm decision before I share the first practical tip with you…

How to get over an ex: the road of no return

There’s no more going back.

The last thing I want is that you read this article about how to get over your ex-girlfriend and you then try to win her back.

You want to get over her, right?

Then promise me and promise yourself that you’ll do everything in your power to get over this woman.

Don’t even think about trying it again. You’ve had enough drama with this relationship. Now it’s time to move on

And it’s time to improve…

Improve your body

What do you want your ex to think if you ever bump into her again?

You want her to think “why is he looking so good? Why did I let him go?”

In other words, you want to be better looking and have a better body than you had when you were dating her.

But of course, the very low chance that you are bumping into your ex again is not the main reason. You should do it for yourself…

…and for the ladies.

What you need right now are confidence and progress.

The gym gives you both.

Lift weights and improve your body. The more you do that, the more confidence you will gain. And with more confidence, you’ll have an easy time attracting women.

The reason why so many suffer after a breakup is not that the woman is gone.

It’s because they believe that they won’t be able to get another woman.

Having no options leads to neediness and desperation.

Having the confidence to walk up to women because you feel so good in your body leads to options.

It’s not so much about your improved physique.

The main factor is the confidence boost that your improved physique gives you.

Improve your mind

You have a body but you also have a mind.

And because you want to learn how to get over an ex, you might as well focus on both. Yep, your mind matters.

What do most men do after a breakup?

They drown their sorrow in alcohol and waste their precious time playing video games.

Does that make them better men?

Unless they are professional streamers and earn millions by playing world of warcraft the answer is no.

Now imagine if you chose a different path.

Instead of wasting your life away, you focus on your education and on your career.

You don’t drink. You don’t game all day and all night. Instead, you learn a new skill.

Or you learn a new language. Or you apply for your dream job.

So many men who are in committed relationships forget about their dreams because they are so focused on the “happy wife happy life” paradigm…which, by the way, is completely stupid.

You are now in the lucky position where you can focus all your energy on yourself and your life. That’s a wonderful opportunity.

Making the most out of your time makes getting over your ex-girlfriend so easy.

Don’t even think about texting her

The same rule applies to calling.

Do you remember what I said in the beginning?

You are traveling on the road of no return. You want to learn how to get over an ex. You don’t want her back.

Instead, you want to get your life back.

And the only way to successfully do that is to have no contact with her.

Or at least you shouldn’t be the one who is initiating the contact.

I mean yeah, if she texts you “how are you”, then you can, of course, reply that you are doing good. That’s perfectly fine.

But when it comes to drunk calls or desperate texts…don’t do it.

Social Media stalking is not good for you

This is another thing you shouldn’t do, at least when you want to know how to get over an ex. Unfortunately, so many people do it.

You miss her. Then you have a look at her pictures on Facebook. And then you miss her even more.

Why are you torturing yourself?

Please keep in mind that the stuff you see on social media is not real and even if it’s real, it only shows a perfect facade.

Think about all the celebrities who ended their own lives and who always smiled on their Instagram pictures.

Nobody can tell you if the smile of your ex-girlfriend is real.

But I can promise you that you won’t smile anymore when you look at her pictures over and over again.

Focus on improving your life instead of focusing on a fake persona that your ex tries to portrait on social media.

Throw her gifts in the trash

It sounds brutal. I know.

But it’s the best decision you can make. The last thing you want to do when you are learning how to get over an ex is to constantly be reminded of your best memories.

What about the love letter she wrote you? Throw it in the trash.

What about the…no matter what it is. Get rid of it.

I know that you don’t want to do it but it’s usually the best option.

Only keep that stuff if you can completely emotionally detach yourself from the memories. Most people are not able to do this.

Allow your friends to support you

When you are in the process of getting over a relationship, your friends can be immensely valuable.

Talk to them. Let them know how you feel.

And most importantly, tell them how much you appreciate the fact that they listen to you.

But only surround yourself with friends who are lifting you up and who want the best for you.

These are the friends that will make getting over a breakup so much easier.
