When is the time to give up? Letting go of what is what you think is so called LOVE? It is when it causes a problem and an obstacle in your life, when you feel it is a burden more than the cause of an inner peace, and when you feel that you are running the relationship alone!
There are many ways to get rid of toxic love, and below are a few:
1. Strengthening the bond with Almighty:
Strengthening the bond with God Almighty through forgiveness, fasting, charity, and self-preoccupation with what pleases God Almighty. It strengthens determination and patience.
2. Occupation of time and thought:
It is always better to use time with what is useful, such as work, study, or any other activity like playing sports or one of your favourite hobbies, this will enable you to forget the matter easily; Because this reduces thinking about it and sitting alone should be avoided until there is no opportunity for the you to think about it.
3. Get closer to your friends:
Spending time between friends and family and listening to their stories and problems reduce the difficulty and intensity of the matter.
4. Move away from the past:
You should not think about the past and get rid of everything that recalls it, such as messages, gifts, photos, and social media accounts should be deleted if they exist for these people. So that these things do not leave bad psychological effects on you and increase dependence on the other party.
5. Never blame yourself:
You must move away from self-blame and regret for what has gone past, and to be convinced that this is a share destined by God Almighty, and that everything that has happened is just an experience that must be overcome and set out for life and make this a point towards achieving a greater dream with stronger will and determination.
6. Do not rush:
What is meant here is not to rush to find an alternative to this love. Because this may only be for the sake of forgetfulness and devoid of true, rational feelings, leaving the soul to get rid of the previous love before starting a new experience. This gives the person a healthier and more rational way to find the appropriate love.
7. Avoid negative words:
Such as using words that express the inability to forget, or that there is no person in life who understands more than your ex, or that life cannot proceed in its natural way.
After all that said, breath in - breath out, life is beautiful and you will be happy! I guarantee you – when you let go of the “Rock” that is keeping you down!
