How to Get Over a Breakup Fast

Whether you got dumped or the feeling was mutual, every girl deserves to throw a pity party after a breakup. But there are several strategies you can use to fast-track that breakup and get over your ex-partner at a speedier rate. But the one thing to remember is that a breakup doesn’t signify an end – it’s an opportunity for new beginnings and rebirth. Here are some valuable tips on how to heal your broken heart a little quicker.

1. Exercise!

Workout out boosts your endorphins and gives you a rocking bod in the process. No, but seriously. Workouts have serious mood-boosting properties, and a sense of routine is healthy for mild to moderate depression. Sweat out that anger and set fitness goals for yourself. When you accomplish them, you’ll feel stronger and more empowered than ever.

2. Take a bath

Take a bath with your favorite essential oil. Someone wise once said that showers are not for the recently jilted, and we have to agree with that. Sometimes, you just need a bath – the ideal blend between pampering yourself and wallowing in your tears.

3. Lean on your girls.

Support is everything when you’re newly single. It can help with low self-esteem when you’re not feeling yourself or wondering why you weren’t good enough. Friends won’t let you play the blame game and will shower you in the compliments that you deserve, reminding you that there are way hotter, better, and smarter fish in the sea.

4. Develop a new hobby

It will force you to focus on yourself rather than the “us” that you’ve been trapped in for so long. Perhaps doing one hobby will reignite some other passions that you forgot about. It’s the best way to ignite your creativity and sense of self while distracting you through a tough process.

5. Work your way through a cookbook.

Cooking is an incredibly healing process for the body and soul – you’re literally nourishing yourself back to health. Doing a recipe a day will help you pass the time, and by the time you’re on that last page of the book, you’ll be in a much better place, mentally and emotionally.
