Be Honest with Your Feelings

It doesn’t help to keep it all pent up inside, because sooner or later it will come out and it will have had time to fester. Just as you’ll be supported by your family and friends, don’t shut them out when it comes to the important things. Let them know when you’re feeling down, angry or just confused, the people around you are going to be the best people in helping you figure out what you need and want.

Pick Up a Hobby

This will give you something new to focus on and gives you a more wholesome way to interact with new people instead of jumping straight back into dating.

To figure out what interests you and finding a new hobby or picking up a new one diverts your focus from your ex to what you want and need.

Focus on the good things in your life and your prospects, but don’t shut the people out who want to help you. Before you know it, you’ll be back on track and ready to see what the future holds.
