When we are reeling from a breakup, the last thing we want to do is hit gym. Instead, we wallow in our own misery, or turn to stress-eating and completely forget about health and fitness. Ever heard of a downward spiral? Not good.
A breakup can leave us with feelings of sadness, melancholy and a loss of control. Don’t fall prey to the post-split spiral. Put down the pint of ice cream and take charge of your life and your health. It is, by far, one of the best ways to get over someone, and to move on with grace and dignity.
Work on being the best version of yourself you can be, and happiness will follow.
Remember what other benefits come from exercise other than getting healthier? Let me remind you:
Reduced Stress -
Whether you are playing your favourite sport, enjoying the great outdoors or simply pumping some serious iron at the gym, being active allows your body to release endorphins, a.k.a. happy hormones, which are scientifically proven to combat stress.
Gain Confidence -
Exercise is an excellent way to gain confidence at a time when you need it the most. When you see how strong you really are and what your body can actually accomplish, you’ll begin to cast away doubt and learn to love yourself again.
Getting Back Out There -
A regular routine helps us stay focused and organized. Additionally, hitting the gym, playing a team sport or attending regular fitness classes is also a great way to stay social and meet new people — so important when we are feeling lonely and blue.
Putting Yourself First -
Spending time at the gym or doing various physical activities is your way of reconnecting to yourself and treating yourself kindly. Take time to exercise, eat right, and treat yourself every now and again.
One Day At A Time -
Prioritize your health and happiness — you’ll not just see your body transform, but your perspective, too. When you are your best version of yourself, you’re more likely to attract someone who admires your positive energy and spirit.
