h2>Dating : Why Your Ex Moved On So Fast
Well, this is a beautiful time to focus on YOURSELF.
Of course you can go on dates, have one night stands, engage in dating apps. You can do whatever you want.
Just make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.
Ask yourself: am I happy being single?
If the answer is no, you aren’t ready to start dating again. You aren’t ready for a relationship yet.
A partner is not going to make you happy.
You need to make yourself happy, first.
- Take yourself out on a date
Think of the perfect date someone could take you on, and take yourself on it.
Buy something nice for yourself. For me, I went out and bought roller skates. Did I need them? No. Did I want them? You bet.
Now I have a new hobby and something special that’s just for me. Sure it doesn’t replace the ex, but it does help shift the focus to self love.
2. Find something good in every day
This is different to the gratitude journal. I’m not saying find something you are grateful for every day.
I’m saying find something good, something that makes you happy, relaxed, smile.
For me, it’s cycling along the river.
Going rock climbing.
Eating an oreo icecream while sitting outside in the sun on a beanbag.
Hearing kookaburras in the early afternoon.
3. Feel your emotions
Have a good cry on the shower floor.
Write down your thoughts and feelings.
Be kind to yourself during this time. By that I mean think nice thoughts about yourself. Give yourself a break. You’re doing the best you can during this sensitive time.
Time really does help. I know everybody says it, but have you thought the reason it is said so many times is because it rings true?
Remember: you will get through this. You will. I know it.
