Do me a favor and share!

I’ll just start this post off with I’m sorry you’re going through a breakup! But also excited for you because you’re no longer wasting time in a relationship that wasn’t working out. It’s especially important to practice self care after a breakup because you need some extra TLC when you’re sad.

Be easy on yourself during your moving on period! And adopt a self routine that helps you to both heal emotionally and relax after stressful days.

After my own breakup, I did a lot of these self care practices so I hope you find some of them useful for yourself!

1. Have a mental health day and relax without guilt 
2. Have a long cry in bed 
3. Watch funny YouTube videos
4. Read or listen to a good book
