When I first broke up with my boyfriend, the feeling of devastation and constantly staying in bed broke my self-esteem and personality. It was hard to step out of my room and show how bad the relationship got me. And no matter what I was doing, it just felt like I was trying to pretend that I was happy and that I was okay.
After two years of getting over this man, I finally realized what it truly means to be happy. So here are some of the tips I want to tell you on how to get over a breakup.
Say yes to every social invitation. After my breakup, I vowed to accept every social invitation that came my way. I bought myself new clothes, new makeup, and new nail sets. I was going out partying and making new friends. Reclaim the lost parts of yourself that you couldn’t express while with your partner.
Nourish your body with healthy food and exercise. Breakups throw our daily routines into disarray. To counteract the chaos and the disorganization that you feel after the breakup, eat more nutritious meals, get the right amount of sleep, and create a schedule for when you’re going to exercise.
BLOCK. YOUR. EX. After breaking up with my ex, I became an Instagram stalker. I checked his social media page every time I got the chance to look at my phone. I wanted to see updates on what he was doing with his life. Blocking was a sage move. Not only did it stop me from seeing heart-wrenching posts, but it also kept me from posting unnecessary pictures and videos to make my life look more exciting than his. My life is already exhilarating, so not feeling the need to prove it helped me participate and enjoy it.
Lastly, it takes time. It takes a lot of patience, which is why I had to say it took me two years to get over my ex-boyfriend. It won’t get better quickly, so grieve and slowly pick yourself up. You got this, and good luck!
