9 Ways To Reinvent Yourself After A Painful Breakup
Breakups can be painful, but the pain of a breakup can serve a positive purpose. It can be the catalyst to reinventing yourself. After a breakup, you have new-found free time and the motivation to make a change.
How do you go about making a positive change?
Consider these strategies:
1. Find a healthy weight. Breakups can be a tremendous motivator to either lose fat or gain muscle. Show your ex what they’re missing! Focus on developing habits that will lead you to your bodyweight goal. Hire a personal trainer if you can afford one.
A healthy diet, exercise and patience are all you need. Changing your weight is certainly challenging, but many people still manage to do it. Use your breakup as motivation.
2. Take a class. Take a course at a local college and learn something new. You’ll get out of the house, meet new people and learn some new information. What better way could you spend your time?
3. Learn a new skill. If you’re going to reinvent yourself, go all out. Learn to do something new that will enhance your professional or social life. You can get creative and take an acting class or art class. Work on your speed-dating skills. Think of all the new things you can learn that would enhance your life. Pick one and get busy.
