It’s always hard when you break up with someone, regardless of the reason. Maybe you just weren’t a good fit or maybe he cheated on you. Those feelings of hurt can run deep and really affect you. You may think the only way to be at peace again is to get revenge on your ex, but we’re here to tell you there are much better ways to pick yourself up and move on. These 8 things to do instead are sure to help you through this difficult time.
Workout
There’s nothing like the high of adrenaline you get when you work out and getting all that anger out through running or punching something will make you feel immensely better. Get all of that frustration out in a healthy way instead of getting revenge.
Volunteer
Sometimes volunteering and giving our time to help others who are in need can put your life into perspective. Your breakup isn’t nearly as bad as the kind homeless people who don’t have the money for food. Volunteering can lift your spirits and make you feel like you’re doing something worthwhile with your time.
Keep Busy
Sometimes what you really need is to take your mind off of what happened. Do anything and everything you can to stay busy to keep you from thinking about her. Eventually, you won’t need to be busy, she’ll just fade away.
Take A Trip
Go anywhere in the country or the world. Live your life. You’re free so get out there and enjoy it. Go to a beach, a city and have the time of your life. Soon you’ll forget how crappy you felt.
Write
If you’re someone who enjoys putting pen to paper, do it and tell the paper how you feel. Get it all out in the open and be as descriptive as possible about your feelings. Putting it all down is really therapeutic.
Unfriend Her (or him)
Get rid of her from your life on all social media. You don’t need that in your life and you’re not getting revenge, you’re just cutting her loose. Goodbye, so long, move on.
Flirt With Others
Go out and let yourself be single again. Have fun and flirt with whomever you like because now you can. Enjoy this new freedom rather than wallow in it.
Eat Your Favorite Food
Get a pizza, get some Chinese, get whatever you want that makes you happy and enjoy the heck out it. Even better, get something you love that she hated. You don’t need to please her anymore.
These 8 things are so much better than getting revenge on your ex because they’re about you and making you feel better. Forget them and be the best version of yourself. That’s all you can hope for.
