After Breakup Tip : Keep Taking Care Of Your Body

After a breakup is the best time to get in touch with your body and take care of yourself. I know that it may be hard for those of you who are crying all the time, still in your pyjamas at dinner time, and have to drag yourself out of bed. I do hope you are coping better than that.

This tip is for the smart girls and boys out there who want to emerge stronger and more confident in their own skin after a breakup, and get into a better and possibly more successful relationship the next time. Get in touch with what your body needs to get over the breakup. I will share with you 3 tips to keep taking care of yourself and your body, which will reduce your heartache and reduce the mourning period (by alot).

Often in relationships (and especially with an unsuitable partner), people lose themselves. They try so hard to fit into the other person's idea of what a 'ideal' partner is like. They try to change who they are so the other person will like/love them more. They restrict their behaviours and beliefs to suit the other person. Hoping that by doing so, it will lead to a happy marriage and live happily ever after. Does that sound correct to you ? Have you done that before ?

I hear so often, 'It's like I don't know who I am anymore, after he/she left'.
Rather than feeling lost because you don't remember who you were without the relationship, take the opportunity to rediscover yourself, get in touch with your body and then recreate a more fabulous stunning YOU.

For me, I was always living in the future, believing that we would get married WHEN his job became more stable, when he earned more money, when he would have more time for me. I put effort in maintaining the relationship, despite only seeing each other for an hour each week, talking on the phone for 5 minutes a day, all in the dream of him marrying me. What a dreamer I was. I held on tightly to the memories and to the hopes for the future, not looking at what was actually happening. What I really did right was putting on makeup to work everyday and making sure i looked and felt good.

So when we broke up, i was determined to continue taking care of myself.

Tip #1 : Groom your body.
You don't have to go to the extent of getting all dolled up if you don't feel like it. Take a good shower or  baths. I always feel good and refreshed after a warm shower. Get a nice smelling body scrub and use it, gently exfoliating away dead skin cells, symbolic of removing the parts of you that feel dead. Then use a nice powder or body lotion and apply it all over your body, taking time to feel it on your skin, nurturing yourself and allowing yourself to heal.
Your body loves to be touched ! Feel how good it is to be caressed and stroked softly. Do that for your body and get in touch with you :)

Tip #2 : Ask your body what it needs to feel better.
Our bodies often have the best answers for us to look and feel the way we've always wanted. You just need to ask, and wait for the answer. Ask your body what exercise or movements it would like to have to feel better. Losing weight doesn't mean doing exercise 6 times a week for an hour each. It could even be a different thing anytime. My body tells me that I have done enough workout from gardening heehee. If it says you need chocolate icecream, by all means go ahead, but don't try to trick your body.
The way to tell if it's something your body wants is when it feels good.
If it doesn't make you feel good, try something else instead.

Tip #3 :Get whatever support you need.
I understand that it may not be so easy for some to get over a breakup. I especially managed to get over mine because of constant love and care from my sister and her fiance. So if you need support and help, talk to your friends and family, someone you can trust and will give you love.
Remember you don't have to go through this alone.

The best way to get over a breakup is when you get in touch with yourself. Be aware of your own needs and take care of yourself. When nursing a broken heart, you are the most important !

Your body is always there to support you in any way it can to make you feel better !
