here is an 8 - STAGE TIMELINE you may experience that can help you recuperate after a breakup.

 

Stage 1 - Time heals everything It's normal to have low self-esteem when someone you love leaves you. But remember, you're still the same person that she or he once fell in love with.

 

The only difference is that you are no longer together. Believe me, you'll find someone else in time. As for your broken heart, the old saying time heals everything cannot be more true.

 

Stage 2- You are vulnerable Anyone can take advantage of you when you are feeling vulnerable. You must thereforeeeeeee be extra careful not to look to quick fixes, such as dating old flings.

 

Stage 3- Feelings of denial At this stage, you will probably call your ex many times to question whether the relationship is truly over, or whether there is still a chance that your relationship can be salvaged

 

Stage 4- Feelings of bitterness Remember, the relationship is over, so don't express feelings of sadness and bitterness to your ex. If you do, you'll be letting her know that you are unable to handle her decision, which makes you look immature. Instead, channel those feelings into positive energy by improving the skills at the activities you love.

 

Stage 5- Take time off A lot of men try to rebuild their new broken fragile ego, by dating again too soon after a breakup. Stop! You'll only end up damaging yourself even more, as well as the person you are dating. If you date someone just to fill a gap, that's the way you'll end up treating that person.

 

Stay away from women or men who'll prey on your fragile emotional state, and take advantage of your vulnerability. This will only give you a false sense of trust. Take time off and get involved in things you never had the time to do before.

 

Stage 6- Socialize Meet a lot of new people. Use this time to improve relations with old friends, network, and make new friends. A well-balanced life will lessen the impact of a breakup, because you will still have the other aspects of your life intact, and improved.

 

Stage 7- Fall in love Eventually, as time passes, you will fall in love again. Make sure to let yourself fall in love, and take the time to really let your partner in your life. There is nothing better than a new flame to make you forget an old one (once you have had the time to heal, of course).

 

Stage 8- Don't set yourself up Don't get carried away with this new found flame, remember nothing lasts forever. Don't make this person the sole focus of your life, because if it doesn't workout, you'll find yourself right back at Stage 1.

 

peace
