Best way to get out of Breakup Blue – Travel

Breakup is an inseparable part and phase of life. It teaches us many things and makes us strong and undependable. But, when we are in that phase any motivation or write-ups sounds foolish in front of our emotion filled heart. Eating a lot or crying in bed all day makes us unhealthy and sick, we need some remedy that can heal this blue fast and smooth. Thankfully we have traveling as a remedy. It helps clear your mind, shed your skin and speed up the emotional healing process. Everyone knows that leisurely travel is a fun idea year-round, but here are some strong reasons to why while you’re navigating a breakup is the optimal time to travel as well,

1. If you get lost enough, you find yourself.

Planning an itinerary is a great, healthy distraction. Researching places and activities is educational and gives you something productive to do. When you finally arrive at your destination, you'll probably get lost and be forced to find your way. No matter your gender, your skin will thicken and your soul will grow.

2. The little things you do while away will boost your self-esteem.

Driving, getting around alone, trying new things, seeing new places, tasting new foods and using a map will make you feel like a god or goddess. If you start to doubt yourself, just remember that you’ve got this, even by yourself. Go ahead and climb those metaphorical and physical mountains. It will boost you up.

3. Travel catalyzes growth.

Traveling is the healer of emotional wounds. Everything you would normally feel while healing at home most likely feels 10 times better or has more meaning if you do it alone and in a foreign place. Also, the scary element of a new place makes muscles of independence develop faster. If you can do something abroad or out-of-state, you can feel confident about conquering any task.

 

4. You meet people.

Not only that, but you meet people who probably have the same or similar interests as you, who are also often alone. They are usually good, fun people.  This makes you realize that even when you are alone in life, you aren’t really alone. You'll be surprised by how many friends you'll make if you are open. Just remember to keep your eyes open and be safe about it.

5. You observe the world in a new way, literally.

You start to notice the regularly overlooked details of the planet with a new pair of eyes and profound appreciation. You look at life with unparalleled wonder; you welcome the sight of that squirrel on the opposite tree and notice the shapes of the clouds. It really works this way.

6. You get peace and quiet.

Think of your passport as a mute button. Traveling allows you to reflect on the relationship without the influence of other’s opinions. By doing this, you also avoid the risk of responding to or contacting your ex.

More importantly, having no cellular service abroad could help you kick old conversational habits. In this way, you can train yourself to be happy without your phone buzzing.

7. Out of sight, out of mind.

Being away can be just what you need. You will be out and about, sightseeing and breathing in fresh air instead of repeatedly checking his or her Facebook.  You simply won’t be tempted to stay indoors, crying in front of a computer screen, television or both when you’re in a new place.

8. You will be forced to smile for photos!

Studies show that forcing yourself to smile actually improves your mood. So, go show off your pearly whites and take cheesy tourist photos like a tourist.

9. Plane rides give you time to get comfortable with just being alone.

They also give you a small window during which you can pamper yourself. Being on a plane is similar to being at a restaurant; you have people to serve and wait on you. You're also in a safe place, provided that there is no turbulence! On the plane, you can even secretly cry if you feel like it. It's better to get the emotions out inside the aircraft, rather than inside a locked room.

10. Travel makes you grow.

Greatness is born outside of comfort zones. Having positive thoughts and feelings are one thing, but actually going out and doing things for yourself provides evidence for what you can do. You can do it all if you give yourself the chance. After all, strength is thrust upon us when being strong is our only option.

Breakups cloud minds, but everyone should remember that love may be an adventure — as is life. Loss of love doesn't mean loss of life. Stand on your own two feet, and if you can afford it, stand on them abroad, or out-of-state. Don't just keep your head up; look up and look around at the fantastic world in which we live. Absorb and cherish the spectacular moments you provide yourself and take pride in them.

Love, honor and respect yourself.
