9 Tips For Reinventing Yourself After Break-up by Nobody: 11:28pm On Jan 17, 2015 |
The Dreaded Break-Up A break up can be one of the hardest situations to go through, but at times it’s necessary. No one wants to be stuck in a relationship that causes one person to feel trapped and unhappy. Reinventing yourself after a break up can help you get past the hurt, help you realize what makes you happy, and give you the courage to get out there and try again. 1. List Your Qualities Discover your self-worth. Perhaps the most important part of reinventing yourself is discovering who you are as an individual. Sometimes ugly things are said in a break-up and you'll take a lot of it to heart. However, if you discover who you truly are, these hurtful phrases will soon fade away. Ways to discover your self-worth include: Writing down your good qualities Focusing in on them Write down the things you feel makes you a good partner Repeat them to yourself daily Write down what you want to change about yourself Start tackling them 2. Get Yourself A Make Over Give yourself a lasting confidence boost, by getting a small makeover. There's nothing quite like starting fresh after a break-up. It'll do you some good....trust me! It's not like you have to run out to a plastic surgeon to boost your appearance either -- just change your hairstyle or buy some new accessories. Other ideas you might try are: Wearing colored contact lenses Dying your hair Buying a whole new wardrobe 3. Get Out There And Have Fun Find things that you like to do, and go do them. When you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, you may feel lost after a break-up. This is because you probably are so used to living as a couple. However, finding out what you like as an individual is the most exciting part of reinventing yourself. Go to the movies, a sports event, skating, ice skating, bowling, anything! Just get out there and try it all. The world is your oyster. 4. Dance To Your Happiness Dance, dance, dance! Music helps many people get into a good mind frame after a bad break up. Choose some songs you really like and get moving! Choose upbeat, uplifting songs that encourage you to dance and forget about your troubles. Some good uplifting songs include: Live it up – Deep House Soldiers Lilly Allen – Smile Give it Up Turn it Loose – En Vogue Got the Life – Korn (Hey, I didn’t say it had to be a current song...) Cloud - Turning 5. Meditation Helps Practice the art of meditation. Meditating is a wonderful tool for stress reduction. It helps you to think clearly and greatly reduces anxiety. You don’t have to go to a guru to learn meditation, simply follow these steps to enter a state of peace and tranquility: Find a quiet spot Lay back or sit in a comfortable position Turn on peaceful nature sounds Close your eyes Take a deep breath in through your nose Breathe out through your mouth slowly Think of what it is you want to achieve (peace, tranquility, happiness) Hold this image and continue relaxing for 5 to 10 minutes 6. Change Only Yourself Be happy with who you are as an individual. Don’t change simply to make your ex jealous, or because you think you aren’t a beautiful person. You are beautiful because you are unique. Accept this about yourself and only change what you feel is necessary to make YOU happy. 7. Throw Out Old Memories Get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex. Get rid of any cards, letters, or pictures of him or her. You might not want to throw away DVDs that you both liked, but you can avoid watching them until you get past this phase. Anything you don't throw away should at least be boxed up and put away so that it's out of sight. You don’t want anything laying around that will make you regret your decision during your reinvention. 8. Free Your Mind Close this chapter of your life with a clear mind. Hate is very hard on your health and will stop you from getting over your ex. Instead, accept the situation for what it is, and remind yourself that you are a pretty darn good person that deserves the best. Forget the past and start planning your future! 9. What Type Of Partner Do You Want? Remind yourself that this was a good decision and that you will find a better relationship, but it takes time. Don’t go out buying dolls that look like your ex and pricking them with needles. Ouch! Instead, make a list of the qualities you want in a partner and only search for that. Once you're ready, put yourself back out there and start hunting for the perfect catch!
