    It can be difficult transitioning from being around someone 24/7 to being by yourself, but don’t get discouraged. With time, you can learn to cherish your time alone. [1] Stay at home curled up with a book, or take yourself out on a solo adventure to the park. Spending time with yourself can help boost your self-confidence and give you the chance to enjoy life on your own terms. [2]
    • Take yourself out to eat, grabbing a table for one at your favorite restaurant.
    • See a new movie by yourself, getting a popcorn bucket just for you.
    • Roam around an art museum on a self-guided tour.

    Don’t be afraid to pamper yourself right after a breakup. You’ve been through a lot; you’re starting a new chapter of your life—you deserve a little TLC! Some self-care can go a long way, so make time each day to do something special for yourself. [3]
    • Draw a bubble bath after a long day at work and soak in a bath by candlelight to unwind.
    • Buy your favorite pint of ice cream and pop in a good movie for a cozy night in.
    • Go to bed early and turn off that alarm to give your body some rest.
    • Reader Poll: We asked 697 wikiHow readers about the self-care goal they’re most motivated to work on, and only 6% of them said following a skincare routine . [Take Poll] Instead, making it a goal to relax or try a new hobby might be more rewarding.

    This is a time for you to explore who and what you are. The arts are a great way for you to take a deep dive into your soul, putting what’s inside out into the world. You can start up a new craft, try your hand at painting, or give playing an instrument a go. Try not to think about the end product, but the joy doing the activity brings. [4]
    • Create a vision board that’ll help you manifest your dreams.
    • Roam around a local craft store and pick up whatever catches your eye.
    • Start a journal and write your thoughts in the form of poems, doodles, or prose.

    One of the many great things about being single is that there’s no one holding you back—that is, except yourself. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and start socializing! You never know who you’ll meet, so say “hello” to the barista at the coffee shop you frequent or go out on the town and chat with whoever you bump into. You may find a new friend or even someone special. [6]
    • If you’re not ready to mingle just yet, that’s okay! The single life is all about you, so go at your own pace and do what you feel is right.

    Is there somewhere you’ve always wanted to go? Take charge of your newly found independence and go wherever your heart wants. Maybe this is another country or a nearby hidden nature spot. You don’t need to travel far to find something new. [7]

    Coming out of a relationship is a hard transition. The single world can seem scary at first, but there are so many people who will be there to support you. [8] As a newly single person, you probably have more time on your hands to spend with others, so take advantage of it! Call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while, or visit a distant relative. [9]

    You don’t need to join a fancy gym or start an extensive workout plan to start a daily exercise routine. All you have to do is get up and move! A little bit of movement each day can help boost your confidence and make you feel fantastic. [10]

    • Hike a local trail to a peaceful picnic spot.
    • Throw yourself a dance party while you cook dinner.

    After a breakup, it’s easy to feel like the whole world is against you. But you can take back your happiness with a little bit of structure. Keep living life and try a new routine that helps your mind stay off your ex. Wake up an hour earlier, sign up for weekly gym classes, or schedule weekly chats with friends. [11]
    • Try your best to stick to your new routine. Consistency can help you feel fulfilled and give you a sense of peace.
    • Keep a calendar of your new schedule to help you stay on track.
    • There’s no need to jam-pack your schedule right away! Take things slowly, adding on a new activity when it feels right.

    It can be tempting to keep scrolling after a breakup, but the joys of the single life won’t all be found online. Set down your phone and experience what real life has to offer. Find what satisfies you so you can fulfill all your needs. [12]
    • Block out a time in the day to go on social media.
    • If you start to feel down while scrolling through other people’s posts, log off for the day.
    • You and your life are amazing no matter your relationship status, so try not to compare yourself to others.

    Think about what’s important to you in life. This could include exercise, hobbies, career, friendships, and family. Now, make a pie chart that includes these things, and section them off by how important they are. For example, if you want to focus 50% of your life on family, you would color in half of the circle and divide the other half amongst your other values. This activity can help you make a plan for what you want and need in life to be happy. [13]
    • When you look at this pie chart, think of how you want to show up to each of these values rather than what you want in them.

    Take this time while single to fully explore who you are as an individual. One of the many great things about being single is the independence. You must empower yourself, but how can you do that if you don’t know who you are? [14] Get to know yourself with some of these questions: [15]
    • “What do I want my life to stand for?”
    • “If I only had a month to live, what would I do?”
    • “What is something I’m really proud of?”

    • Mute your ex’s social media accounts to keep them off your feed for a while.
