We’ve put together a walkthrough of 10 things to do after you get dumped.

After checking all these items and putting them into practice, you will realize that nothing was in vain. Everything is a learning experience and soon you will be feeling wonderful again. Check out our tips below and get ready to feel better.

1. Allow yourself to suffer

Don’t feel guilty about crying or wanting to lie in bed all day. Suffering after a relationship ends is very normal. So when sadness comes, feel it. Cry as much as you want – when you remember the good times, when you look at the photos, when you reread the conversations… It’s normal to have ups and downs, but we can learn from all feelings.

2. Don’t search on social media

We know it’s pretty hard to resist temptation, but try not to scan the social media of the person who broke up with you. Turn off notifications, unfollow or even end the friendship. Knowing that the other is doing well or what they are doing will not contribute to your overcoming process.

3. Keep the people you care about close

You don’t have to go through this difficult time alone. It’s time to be surrounded by people who really want to see you well. It can be people from work, friends, relatives… Having a company to vent, exchange an idea or simply do nothing is always valid. Talking will make you cool down and start to see that the world goes far beyond the pain of a breakup.

4. Don’t force yourself to do anything

Possibly you will receive many invitations from friends to go out, go to clubs or bars, in addition to advice that you need to meet new people and download the jinx app of the moment. It can even be interesting, but don’t force yourself to do anything if you don’t feel prepared. You might even want to distance yourself from any possibility of romance. Nothing out of the ordinary. Let things happen in their own time. When you feel safe and ready, go ahead.

5. Discover what you love

Do you have any hobbies? It’s time to pay attention to him. And if you don’t have any, find something you love to do. You can embroider, dance, run, write, take care of plants, put on makeup… Find something you like and dedicate yourself to doing it. Will do well!

6. Feel more beautiful than ever

No more feeling like the worst, ugliest, and most unloved person in the universe. It’s time to love yourself, feel wonderful, put self-esteem up there. Here are some tips: write down all the good things you have, take time to take care of yourself, make a list of everything you are grateful for. And if you need to, cut your hair, change your usual nail polish color, tattoo something, change it. Sometimes we have a wonderful life and we don’t even realize it. Self love and confidence will make you go far.

7. Do the things you’ve always wanted to do

When you’re in a relationship, you can’t always do all the things you want to do when you feel like it. Being single, this is no longer a concern. Take the opportunity to live whatever you want, whether it’s traveling without making too many plans, going to a different restaurant or practicing some extreme sport. You only have this life, live it!

8. Tidy your drawers

It might seem a little too metaphorical, but it’s not. If you can’t get your own things in order, how are you going to keep your life on track? It’s time to organize the drawers, the wardrobe, the whole house. You will see that this organization will be positively reflected in other areas of your day to day.

9. Meet new people

How about expanding your horizons and meeting new people? No, we’re not talking about dating, but making new friends can be fun. When you go somewhere, be receptive to those around you. Get close to people who might seem interesting, even if it’s virtually. Who knows, maybe one of them becomes special?

10. Love your own company!

No, you don’t need to have someone to feel complete. Forget that story about the other half of the orange. You are a complete orange! Learn to enjoy your own company and have a great time with yourself, with peace and tranquility. You deserve!

We hope these tips will help you ease the sadness a little bit. Remember: in the end things work out. Be alright!
