Here are som tips that can help you bounce back better than ever!
Go Out With Friends

Unfortunately, this isn’t something that Hollywood has made up - lots of people do turn to comfort eating to deal with their feelings! To make sure you don’t put your health at risk and knocking your self confidence, you should watch your diet and ensure you get plenty of exercise in the aftermath of a breakup. Getting plenty of exercise will also make your body release endorphins which can greatly improve your mood!
Return To Dating Slowly
Dating can be a good way to boost your confidence. However, you might not have been on a date or tried to approach other people for quite some time if you were with your ex for a few years. Do what you feel comfortable with, it could be asking friends to set you up with someone you know or trying out some dating apps. Only start to date again however when you truly feel ready, not as a way to mask the pain as it will only end in more tears. Date again for the right reasons.
Celebrate Yourself
