17 Things Newly Single Ladies Should do ASAP ...

By Lyndsie • •

When you find yourself suddenly single after being half of a couple, it's a little disconcerting. You might be heartbroken, especially if you were really into your partner or the breakup wasn't your idea. You might be relieved, especially if you initiated the split. Maybe the breakup was even amicable. All of that is just a bit irrelevant, however, because there's still a disconnect when you break up with someone and find that you're a single lady once again. Instead of feeling totally at odds with yourself, here are a few things you ought to do – just for you.

1 Get Your Flirt on

Get Your Flirt on Seriously. Detonate that charm bomb. You don't have to go home with anyone, but some casual flirting can boost your confidence.

2 Hook up with Your Girls

Hook up with Your Girls Surround yourself with your girlfriends as often as possible. They will love you, laugh with you, and let you cry as much as you need to.

3 Treat Yo' Self

Head to the spa. Get your nails done. Do something new with your hair. Treat yo' self!

4 Take a Vacation

Take a Vacation You've earned it. You need some time to get in touch with yourself again.

5 Make a New Playlist

Make a New Playlist It seems like such a simple thing, but music soothes the savage beast. Fill up a new playlist with the tunes you need to hear right now, whether that consists of cheesy love ballads, breakup songs, or really angry music.

6 Sage Your Space

Sage Your Space No lie, this helps after any negative, sad, or upsetting event.

7 Reclaim Your Sexuality

Reclaim Your Sexuality Get to know yourself again sexually, as well, especially if the relationship you just got out of did not include a satisfying sex life – or even if it did. Orgasms make you feel good, in the first place, and in the second, well, it's always good to check in with yourself, your needs, and your desires.

8 Remind Yourself That Sex Doesn't Always Equal Love

Remind Yourself That Sex Doesn't Always Equal Love And love doesn't always mean sex. You may need to learn this lesson again because of your breakup itself … or you may simply need a reminder before consoling yourself with a rebound or a distraction. I get you.

9 Reclaim Your Whole Damn Bed

Reclaim Your Whole Damn Bed Take up ALL the space. Except for what you sell with the dogs or cats.

10 Recognize What a Goddess You Are

A lots of these things a woman should do beeing in a relationship and she wouldn't have to be single. Sometimes we lose ourselves beeing in a relationship, we should be the queen of the world and than that man will love us even more. 💕 have a nice day ladies.

Is it okay if you want to mingle again? As I've been single like for an year but now it's like I wanna date someone but can't find a right guy😒

@Sabine i agree with you i was losing myself and that should never happen

Also be honest with yourself and let him go cry if you have to set him and subconsciously make yourself believe that you would be with someone eventually. Give yourself some time out and hangout with friends as article suggested. Get to know you !!!

Can we take the emphasis off alcohol? I know one too many young women who have too much trouble with it.
