12 Ways To Heal From A Breakup Faster

Going through a breakup is never easy – sometimes it feels as though that heartache will never end. Although time is the best healer of all, there are some hacks to make you feel better and start you on the path to moving on.

1. Support is everything. Women get each other through these tough times, as they always have. Hang out with your friends that make you feel strong, believe in you, and remind you all your positive attributes. You still matter and BFFs remind you of that, even if a BF couldn’t.

2. On another note, always have a BFF who can see the signs that you’re about to drunk text, and is ready to confiscate your phone like a ruthless teacher. Drunk texting is a total back slide, and your friend can help keep your journey of growth on track.

3. Buy yourself flowers. And keep buying them. Use the life cycle of these flowers as a way to measure emotional milestones. By the time the first bouquet wilts, you’ll already feel better. We suggest roses, since you deserve it.

4. Although we don’t. suggest eating your feelings as a daily form of recovery (that can turn into an unhealthy emotional eating pitfall), but know that eating the ingredient tryptophan can cause a naturally calming feeling. It can be found in milk, turkey, cheese, yogurt, or the all time classic, ice cream.
