The thought of breaking up can be terrifying, but sometimes, it is for the best. If you find yourself at breaking point but cannot seem to let go, it might help to consider the following:<\/p>\n
#1. Admit that it is over<\/strong>. #2. Don<\/strong>‘t be afraid to cry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n When a close bond breaks, there is bound to be pain. Denying yourself the freedom to express it can make it worse. A Havard study\u00a0found that those who bottle up their pain have a 140 percent higher risk of heart disease and 170 percent higher risk of cancer than those who share what they are feeling.<\/p>\n #3. Identify what cheers you up, and then do more of it.<\/strong>
\nDon’t hang on to the fragile shreds of a relationship whose fabric has weakened beyond repair. Look at it this way \u2014 you are letting go of something into which you had invested a huge amount of your time, energy and emotion. Letting go will free them all up once again, giving you a definite point where you can start over.<\/p>\n
\nDifferent things work for different people. Some find comfort in writing, others might turn to yoga. Still others get by with a little emotional help from their friends. Just don’t take comfort in high-calorie food, which might provide temporary solace, but can cause serious\u00a0health\u00a0and emotional problems in the long run.<\/p>\n
