Hi pretties! Breakups can be difficult, whether it’s a friendship breakup, a romantic breakup, or otherwise, and having gone through two myself, I would consider myself pretty knowledgeable about what to do with breakups.
Time does heal
I know it’s such a cliche thing to say, but time really does heal all wounds. Breaking up with someone you love is super difficult, and it will be painful, but over time, you will heal. It took me over 3 weeks to completely heal from my breakups, but it made me so much stronger.
No contact rule
The no contact rule means that you will not contact your ex until a certain time has passed. No contact is especially helpful as you’re trying to improve yourself. Sometimes, no contact can bring a partner back because they will feel certain regrets about how the relationship went. No contact also helps you reflect on what went wrong in the relationship. For example, no contact for 3 weeks helped me realize that my ways were codependent in a toxic way and it would not have been healthy for both of us to continue down that path.
It’s okay to be single
One thing that I learned from my breakups is that it is okay to be single. Being dependent on someone is not going to make you codependent to a degree, but it’s also not good to spend all day together. I realized that was what I was doing, and being single has taught me that I don’t need to depend on anyone for my own happiness. Sometimes it’s good to learn what you are truly capable of by yourself.
Improve yourself
Breakups can be devastating, but they also present opportune times to improve yourself. For example, when I got broken up with, I signed up for the gym with my mother, and now I am going 5-6 times a week. This has improved not only my physical health, but my mental health as well. I also got the chance to rekindle my love for lifestyle blogging and travel blogging in a healthy way. Improving yourself is such a gift. It means that you are capable of change, and you can find the person who is right for you.
Breakups can be painful, but it also presents an opportunity to rebuild what you lost. It’s so easy to lose yourself in a relationship sometimes, and by ending things, you get an opportunity to really rediscover yourself.
