How can music help you recover after a tough breakup?
Cupid’s Advice:
Sometimes it can be difficult to find ways to get over your ex. Â Cupid shares some advice about using music as an aid to recovery:
1. Sad love songs: It’s cliche, but true. Â Listening to sad music can give you the perfect opportunity to cry and let it out, instead of holding it all in. Â It’s a better outlet than venting too much to those outside the relationship.
2. Embrace the music: Taking up a new habit, such as learning a new instrument or joining a singing group can be a good outlet.  It gives you the ability to concentrate on happier moments and forget the lack of compatibility with your ex.
3. Write it out: You don’t have to be a superstar like Katy Perry to embrace the heartache, and write a song about your ex. Â It might not hit the charts, but it’ll do the trick.
