The 5 Commandments of Ending Relationships

The relationship is over, and yet it is still hard to put the memories of the ex aside. Loving breakups are always tricky to overcome, but in any case, it is always possible to improve moods and leave the past really behind. To do so, follow the five commandments below and allow your ex to finally disappear.

1 ? You will not hold a grudge

Have you heard that holding a grudge is like taking a poison and waiting for the other to die? For the maxim could not be truer. If, each time you think of your ex, you have a tantrum, the only one who is harmed will be yourself. That's because negative memories and feelings of revenge tend to hurt you physically.

It is scientifically proven that rabies can cause serious health problems, such as a massive heart attack, for example. According to a 2000 study by epidemiologist Janice Williams, a researcher at the University of North Carolina, people who get angry often are three times more likely to have a heart attack.


Anger caused by bouts of rancor discharges adrenaline into the blood, speeds up the heartbeat, and impairs the nervous and immune systems. It is common even for people in high stress to have allergic reactions in the body.

2 ? You will try hard not to remember your ex

The relationship may have been beautiful, but you have to remember that it's over. For whatever reason, whatever you are, you are no longer together and it is not worth going over the reasons that led to the breakup, or even the good times of the relationship. All of this will only make you suffer more.

Distract yourself from activities that take you out of your routine and avoid for a while the places you used to go together. If you don't want to dispose of photos and gifts yet, keep them in a box to avoid looking at them. Over time and a little personal effort, you will eventually forget, really.


3? You will seek inner peace

Seek support in activities that relax you. Reading, walking, hanging out with friends, going to the movies or inviting loved ones to dinner are all examples of programs to avoid loneliness without lamenting the end. If the breakup has been very painful and you have difficulty overcoming it, you may want to seek help from a practitioner, such as a therapist.

4? Thou shalt not slander

Of course, the desire is to go out spreading all the rotten ones. of the boy out there, but this is not a mature attitude and could cause even more problems. Choose one or two friends and let them down soon after separation. From now on, the matter is over.

Avoid commenting on the topic on wheels of friends or at work. Put yourself in your ex's shoes? you probably wouldn't want him to go around talking bad about you.

5? You will not fight for money

For a couple who have children, for example, the separation will involve pension discussions, for example. If they live together, there must be division of goods or something along these lines. Other than that, avoid fighting over money or even objects and furniture. Think that every thing you take away from your relationship will be one less reason to remember it.
