Dealing with separation can drain you out physically and emotionally. You could feel various emotions, all at once, from depression to aggravation. Maintaining your mental and physical well-being is very important during those tumultuous times.
Take a break from your normal routine
A separation is agonizing for the reason that it stands for the failure, not just of the relationship, but also of your shared feelings and loyalty. It will take some time for you to heal, recover and regain your strength. It might not be immediately possible for you to take a break from your work, but try to take some days off.
Plan a short vacation to get away from your normal routine and everything else which reminds you of your past and separation. Ascertain people, places and circumstances that you should stay away from, to remain in good spirit during the post-separation phase. It would help you in clearing your mind and start afresh.
Break will help you in accepting and sorting out your emotions. Rage, hopelessness, annoyance and distrust are some of the emotions one feels during the different stages of separation. Feeling all these emotions at once along with other pressures turns your inner state into complete chaos. You might feel like you are having no control over your emotions and life. Thatâs why a short break can do wonders for your emotional set-up.
Spend time with others and take their help
Many people have this tendency to cut themselves off from others during depressing times. Isolation can lead to increase in your stress levels, reduction in your concentration levels, obstructions in your work life and can affect your health negatively.
Spend your time with your friends and family members. Talk about your emotions and future plans. Support and affection for of your loved ones can provide you with required strength so as to move past difficult times.
Talk to those who have already been through similar situations in the past. Ask them about how they managed the whole situation. You can also take expertâs help. Share your problem with a psychologist to gain a solution and get on the way to revitalization.
Maintain good health
A separation can be very nerve-racking, life-altering occurrence. When youâre going through the emotional twirls and dealing with some big life changing situations, itâs more vital than ever to retain good, physical and mental health. The hurt and disappointment can make you emotionally and physically susceptible.
In order to attain emotional stability, you have to retain good health. Disregarding your health during the separation phase can lead you to suffer lots of health related problems. For maintaining good health, follow a healthy diet, exercise regularly, sleep well and avoid using drugs and drinking alcohol.
Give attention to your hobbies
Divert your attention with pastime and other activities. Spend your time by engaging in artistic activities, for instance music, dance or painting. You can even join a workout class or exercise with a friend. Never let the separation be a reason for your negative attitude.
More the time you spend on other activities, less the time you will have to think about your separation related problems. Concentrate your mind on doing the things that you enjoy. Revive your long lost and forgotten talent or passion. Try new things, meet new people, make new friends, join any club or society or learn something new; you can accomplish many things of your choice. All these things will take the focus away from your own situation, helping you in coming out of your depressing situation.
Have an optimistic approach
A positive outlook leads to contentment and triumph and can help you in revolutionizing your complete life. If you look at the encouraging part of your life, your whole life fills with a very positive brilliance. This light influences not only you and the way you see the world around you, but also youâre the complete atmosphere and the people around you.
Positive attitude is necessary if you have to overcome stressing circumstances. You are required to maintain your own personal space for mind clarity, encouragement and fresh beginnings. With positive approach, take small steps to escape the distressing situations. Even in the middle of the misery and strain of a separation, you have a chance to gain the knowledge and experience from it, and develop yourself into a stronger and matured individual.
