‘Go for an entertaining revenge’ – readers’ tips for healing a broken heart

Breaking up is never easy and breaking up during lockdown made it even harder. Take a lesson from our contributors' experiences

Take up Muay Thai - it's a great way to get really sweaty on a weekly basis. If the heartbreak is really bad, travel solo, going as far and as for as long as you can, preferably somewhere with a lot of open space - I ended up in Newfoundland and Mongolia after separate heartbreaks. Put your face into the wind and scream, or cry, or whatever it is you need to do to let it go. Remind yourself to keep looking forward when you find yourself ruminating. Then, like all things, give it time.
