Be kind to yourself
Sometimes, depending on the circumstances of our breakup, we blame ourselves for our situation. We blame ourselves for not being pretty or attentive enough to have made them stay, for choosing someone mean or dumb, etc.
However, having confidence is all about having self-love. It’s time to stop saying negative things about yourself and your appearance and start practicing self-love. Forgive yourself for any mistakes you’ve made and realize you deserve to be happy.
Put more time into your appearance
Please do not misread this and think that you need to become obsessed with how you look. This is simply a suggestion for those who tend to lay around in their pajamas and sweats when they get depressed. To start feeling a little better about yourself, you need to look the part.
Make more of an effort to get dressed in the morning, routinely shower, and even do your hair and makeup. Sometimes, in order to feel better, you have to start from the outside and take it in.
Make some plans
After you’ve allowed yourself to grieve your relationship, you should start slowly getting yourself back into the world and make some plans. Go out with your close friends and family, or enjoy solo activities. You’ll feel a lot better once you realize you can still enjoy your life and free time without your ex.
Getting yourself together after a breakup may take some time, but with a little extra hard work and help from your friends, you’ll be confident and ready to get back into the world in no time!
