After a breakup we don’t know what to do, it’s normal because everyone makes some mistakes, but I’m here to make your way faster.

Here are 3 mistakes you shouldn’t do after a breakup:

Don’t stay friend with your ex

A big mistake people do after a breakup is staying friends with their ex. This is wrong and let me explain why. Your ex wants to be your friend because they want an option to return to you when they want, they want to keep you close, so they can ”spy” on you and know what is going on in your life or because they feel guilty and don’t want just to delete you from their life. Another reason why you can’t be a friend of your ex is that you will think much more about them if you are still in contact.

Don’t run after your ex

Running after your ex is also a thing you shouldn’t do, whether you want your ex back or you want to move on, running after your ex is a mistake. You hurt your ex privacy, they can do whatever they want even if you think they need help or you can suggest a better solution for them. Also begging and annoying your ex will just cause them to feel bad and your chances to get them back will decrease. If you want your ex back let them miss you, stop speaking to them and if you want to move on, let yourself forget about your ex.

Don’t run into a new relationship

One more mistake people do is running into a relationship too soon, whether it’s with your ex again or a new one, you need time. You need time to learn about the past, about why things didn’t work out, what you can do better, what you want in your future partner, and what you don’t want. Starting a new relationship too soon increases dramatically the chances of this relationship to fail too. Give yourself time to observe things and even enjoy being alone for a while. After some time you feel it’s the right time and you’re ready.

NEVER STOP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE

The last thing people shouldn’t do is to stop doing the things that they love because they don’t feel motivated or because it reminds them of their ex. You need to keep a daily routine and especially keep doing the things that you love. After a breakup, it’s super important to increase your self-love and this is done by doing the things that you love.
