How to Fall Out Of Love and Welcome Sunshine

Accept the reality

There’s no reason to cling on to that hope that your partner still loves you, that maybe s/he will be back for you, to love you dearly again. Stop denying yourself, you knew it’s over and you should accept it. Accepting the reality is the first step to falling out of love. However, you should try to accept it anyway. Do not hold on to that hope for too long, for that it will only make you suffer more. This is the most crucial and probably the hardest step in how to fall out of love. There is no more reason to prove to your partner or anyone any longer.

Allow yourself to grieve

Having someone that is everything to you suddenly vanished is difficult to deal with internally. Just let the sadness take over you. Cry yourself out, go on binge eating or shopping, whatever something that can help with going through the sadness. Do not deny that you are sad, giving yourself the chance to grieve will help a lot with the recovery process. Accept those emotions, and don’t dwell on them. Don’t rush it, but just know that you will need to move on at one point. From there, start your journey to fall out of your ex’s love.

Confide in a friend

Having an understanding friend whom you can pour your feelings to is great. A company of another is the best way to work through your grief. Share them with your friend and you will feel so much better after. They might have experienced the same ache before and know that you aren’t alone in your peril, you will make it. Let them help you and you will help yourself. It’s always better to not do anything alone when thinking of how to fall out of love.

Cut off all contacts

Creating a physical distance between the two of you will get you fall out of love easier. The less interaction you have with your ex, the better. Just don’t associate with your partner as much as you can. Politely decline any invitation you had with him, block him if you must. You too should not try to pry on his life. All you need is some time away from him. Maybe you can get back to the friendship stage, but for now, get as far away as you can.

Explore yourself

You spent so much time caring about your partner that you often forget about yourself. You aren’t going to receive praises from your partner for whatever you are doing: It’s all you now. Find out what makes you who you are. Reprioritize your life goals. That goal is no longer to spend more time with your partner, and that goal is now something else that you are going to find out.

Try to get new friends or get in touch with old friends. You might have let the friendship to lag behind as you pursue your love interest. Get back together with them again, and never forget that they are there for you.

Try new activities

This isn’t just meant to be distractions. This is to make you happy once again as you learn to enjoy new things in life. Pick a new hobby, teach yourself knitting or volunteer at the local shelter. Start a new blog even, writing could really help to process your feelings. Find your next love, not in a person but in something you can continue improving yourself from.

Travel if you could afford to. Tons of experience you can gain from doing so, be it positive or negative. Experience world you had never seen. Moreover, that physical distance you create away from your partner will help a ton too.

Get back in the game

Maybe not immediately, start getting yourself looking attractive and confident again. Meet new people and rebuild your self-esteem. Even if you failed, you are going to meet plenty of new interesting people. In my opinion, you shouldn’t start comparing the person to your ex, unless you feel that it helps, it does change your perspectives. If you aren’t ready for a relationship, then don’t start one. Take your time this time to find your right one.

Stay encouraged

No one ever said that getting over your old torch is easy. Celebrate any steps you take towards getting away from your ex and having you back to yourself. There are plenty of fishes out there in the sea, plenty that will return your love again one day.

Don’t give up on love

Never lose faith in the power of love. There is still true love, but you just have to keep finding it. The right person is there waiting for you. Believe in the red thread of love that will one day bring the two of you together, the one that will care about you as much as you care about him.

The one who left you is undeserving of your love and affection. Don’t let that negative experience damage your perspective. Be skeptical if next time you meet the “right” one. But he is out there, somewhere, and that will be there by your side through the fire and flames.

Get a new look

New hair color and style, a wardrobe makeover and learn how to do better makeup. You are once again the one in control. The new look will boost your confidence and get you over the insecurities as you find a new life partner.

No point in just being friends

If your partner continues to keep in contact with you, maybe out of guilt or pity, deny that opportunity. You aren’t helping yourself with it and only make the platonic love to worsen. Go cold turkey; it’s your safest bet. Don’t be rude; however, unless she/he is the one being nasty. Keep that distance clear and refuse any calls from him/her. Give yourself the space to get it over.

Let art heals your heart

Music tames even the wildest beast, which is your heart. Listen to enjoyable music alone. Whatever it is, even love songs if you think you can handle it. Although songs about falling out of love can often help you better since you can now relate to it. Sit back and be immersed by the music.

Movies and TV shows help to distract you away from the pain. Go on an F.R.I.E.N.D.S marathon if you will, something light-hearted that you can invest your time in. Just make sure that you won’t get lazy with your life as you binge-watch. But once alone with just the popcorn and your favorite show are always welcomed.
