Wean Yourself Away

There’s nothing worst than a last seen notification to tip you off the edge. So, why do we do this to ourselves?? All you need to do it simply, mute and block their social media, delete their number and archive photos – basically do whatever you need to do to stop your finger from going there. Weaning yourself way from them can be easier said than done, but by removing the distraction can make a good start at moving yourself in the right direction. Use this time to indulge in everything you want to do, whether it’s to get a dog, cut your hair or watch your favourite tv series that they didn’t like on repeat. 

Reconnect With Yourself

Sometimes, loving someone else super hard can often mean losing part of yourself – whether that being your feeling not being that important or your needs being on the back burner. Whereas being single can mean there is no compromise, no more meeting someone else’s needs before your own and not having to answer to anyone else apart from yourself!

Put Judgement In The Bin

If you feel like a fling will help to deal with your loss, then go ahead and do that – just make sure not to use all the textbook rebound moves to numb the pain as you’ll more than likely to make matter worst.
