SEGUN SERVED YOU BREAKFAST, BUT THAT SHOULDN’T BE THE END OF YOUR WORLD.

How you can take care of yourself after a break-up.

#AThread

1. DON'T FIGHT YOUR FEELINGS: A break-up is often accompanied by a wide variety of feelings including sadness, anger, confusion, resentment, jealousy, fear and regret, etc. Healthy coping means, both identifying these feelings and allowing yourself to experience them.

2. OPENLY DISCUSS YOUR FEELINGS: Talking about your feelings related to the break-up is an equally powerful tool to manage them. As you talk to supportive friends and family members, you can come to some new understandings and relieve yourself of some of the pain.

3. DON'T PERSONALIZE THE LOSS: It is natural after a break-up to blame yourself, but try not to personalize the loss for too long. Much of the pain of a break-up comes from seeing the loss as your fault and regretting the choices you made while in the relationship.

4. PRIORITIZE SELF-CARE: Self-care refers to ensuring that your basic needs are being met, despite the fact that you may be upset and sad due to the break-up. Create a worship playlist, read your bible, spend time alone with God and make sure you eat regularly.

5. GET BACK INTO A ROUTINE: Since going through a break-up can create a sense of chaos in many areas of your life, continuing your routines will give you a better sense of stability and normalcy.

Remember, a bad relationship does not equate to a bad life.

P.S Don't limit yourselves to these tips, as what works for A might not work for B. Ensure you find a healthy coping mechanism after a break-up.
