EIGHT THINGS TO REPLACE A RELATIONSHIP WITH

Many of us have been through lousy awful breakups that have left us feeling void and empty inside. No matter how civilized a breakup might be, it still remains a heart- wrenching traumatizing experience. You shouldn’t give in to this new emptiness or allow it to control you; replace your irretrievable relationship with activities that fill up your day and feed your soul.

1 WORK Stay focused on your career goals and ambitions.

2 EXERCISE Start working out, or try something new perhaps kickboxing, yoga or Zumba if you’re already used to an exercise routine. Stick to a workout schedule even if it’s just brisk walking, jogging or house work.

3 TRAVEL Travel whenever and wherever you get the chance. See different places, meet different people and learn new things. Travelling clears the mind and heals the soul, and you definitely need that!

4 REBOUND Well, some people say “you only get over someone by getting under someone else”. You don’t have to “LITERALLY” get under someone of course. What we mean is having a rebound relationship could actually be healthy, even when you still have feelings for your ex.

5 GETTING BACK WITH YOUR FRIENDS Some people tend to neglect their friends and drift away from them when they are in a relationship. If this is the case, then it’s high time you mend your friendships and hook up with your close buddies.

6 HOBBIES/COURSES Expose yourself to new things; enroll in new courses: art, philosophy, literature classes or whatever else that interests you. Pursue a hobby that you’ve always admired but never had the time for. It’s also an excellent opportunity to meet new people and get inspired by them.

7 GO CRAZY Attempt all the wild stuff you never had the guts to try from bungee jumping, skydiving, to hiking in Nepal. Just go crazy!

8 RE-DISCOVER YOURSELF It’s finally time to get to know yourself better; start writing a journal, reminisce about the past and try to learn. Acknowledge your likes and dislikes.
