Life would be so much easier if we could flick a switch to instantly fall out of love with the wrong people minus the heartache, wouldn’t it? Unrequited love is highly toxic, and will never lead anywhere positive. Here are a few steps you can take to help you fall out of love.
Life Hacks: How to Fall out of Love
#1. Write them a letter you’ll never send.
Heartache can multiply when we don’t give ourselves the opportunity to tell someone how we feel. Writing a letter to them that you’ll never actually send can be highly therapeutic. You get all of those painful feelings out that give you closure so that you can start your healing process.
#2. Distract your mind.
Giving someone who doesn’t feel the same way about you attention is throwing fuel on the fire. Take this opportunity to do something you’ve always wanted to do. Organize the adventure of a lifetime, set new personal goals and plan for your future. Looking forward is a positive step in the right direction.
#3. Don’t shut yourself away.
The worst thing you can do for your soul right now is to isolate yourself. Spend time around your favorite people who will give your spirit a pick-me-up.
#4. Reflect on why it didn’t work.
Reflection brings great wisdom and knowledge. Analyze the characteristics you dislike in them so that you can actively avoid dating someone like them again.
#5. Trust in the universe.
When someone leaves your life, it’s because they aren’t right for you, or you for them – or probably for both of you. It’s saddening to stomach, but you have to let it go.
