Their Bodies Age, But Seniors Have Higher Emotional Well-Being - Here's Why
Bodies lose their vigor with the passing of the years, but in the emotional realm, older people seem to rule supreme. Research shows why.
The best advice to get over a breakup was compiled in a new poll of 2,000 people who have a few opinions on the poignant topic.
The best advice to get over a breakup was compiled in a new poll of 2,000 people who have a few opinions on the poignant topic.
A huge majority-77 percent of respondents-believe it's best to consider a breakup as a fresh start rather than dwelling on the past, and 72 percent agree it should encourage you to push yourself to try new things.
Two of the top tips suggest immediately getting rid of their belongings in your home, and blocking your ex on social media.
Getting lots of sleep, reigniting old hobbies, and getting friends together for a night out were other pearls of wisdom to help deal with the end of a romance.
Seven in 10 think it's important to have no contact with someone you're moving on from, while 44 percent see dwelling on a breakup as a waste of time.
While exactly a third of those polled think you need to focus on yourself and not how your ex is feeling, and 24 percent reckon a vacation is the best medicine.
The survey conducted by OnePoll was commissioned by Costa Coffee.
Respondents were speaking from experience too, as on average they experienced three breakups in their adult life.
However, two-thirds also believe a breakup can lead to something better in the end.
As autumn approaches, 26 percent consider the season to be a good time to start afresh.
"Breakups can be tough, but after those initial feelings of loss, it's often the start of moving on to better things," commented Sandra Ferreira from Costa Coffee, who said that six in 10 thought a coffee shop was a great location for your next first date.
