Breakups can be incredibly painful, but they aren’t necessarily a bad thing. Often, breakups are an incredible time for growth and self-exploration. An important first step is acknowledging that it takes time to heal and that it will eventually get better. Investing in self-care and finding healthy distractions can help you cope with the pain of loss. Start a new hobby. Reach out to trusted family members and friends. Pick up a skill you’ve always wanted to learn. Try out new exercise routines. Make you and your needs a top priority. You got this!
