Is it a mistake to get back with an Ex after a break-up? Yes. Yes it is. 10 biggest mistakes we make with our Exes post breakup.•

•

We all have that mythological Ex. The one who was “perfect”. Who we put on a pedestal, even when they likely didn’t deserve it. Usually they’re also the Ex we make most of our post-break-up mistakes with. •

•

For me, it was my second serious boyfriend. For the sake of privacy, let’s call him Bill. Bill was my longest relationship (3 years and 3 months). We had a whole Romeo & Juliet romance, and for a long time I believed he was my “Happily Ever After”.•

•

Single life has been one of my best teachers, from which I have learned valuable lessons. Lessons which could not be derived from anywhere else. One of my biggest single life lessons is “mistakes I’ve made with my Ex boyfriends”. •

•

What, how and why the mistakes were made. I’ve gathered up 10 biggest mistakes we make with our Exes that are fairly common. I’m pretty sure you have been through some of them too. •

•

Which is okay, we’re only human and it’s part of life. The trick is to learn from them and do better next time. •

•

•

How about you? Who is your mythological Ex? Did you make any mistakes with them?•

Sneak Peak:

•

I don’t know about you, but when this whole pandemic fiasco began, I didn’t believe for a second that it would last this long. I remember back in December when my friend was telling me about this crazy virus in China – I thought she was crazy for even entertaining the idea that it would reach us. Let alone the whole world. But here we are, 10 months later. Over half a year in and out of lock-down – And it doesn’t seem it will be ending any time soon. •

•

Just like everything else in life, also this lock-down has many ups and downs. Pros and cons. Like me, I’m sure that there are many other singles out there trying to cope with this whole mess alone. Being single has become one of my favorite things in life, and helped me prepare for coping with the lock-down. I’ve narrowed it down to 5 cons and 5 pros of being single during the lock-down. And how best to cope with the cons. •

How about you? How have you been coping with the lockdown? What’s it like where you live?•

The pros and cons of being single during COVID – and how best to cope and overcome them.•

•

Cons•••

•

I found that the best way to deal with most cons, is to try and divert your attention to the things that make you feel good. Focus on creating a full, productive schedule that will not only keep you busy, but will also provide you with a sense of accomplishment.•

•

1. There’s no one else to fall back on •

•

2. Dealing alone with the emotional roller-coaster •

•

3. Causes a set back in the dating scene •

•

4. There’s little to no sex life •

•

5. Too much in your own head •

•

pros•••

•

All of these following pros can be used as diversions from the cons. They are strong points of focus we can devote as much of our attention as we can. Derive positivism and affirmation out of them.•

•

1. No one else suffers the consequences •

•

2. Make your own decisions and choices •

•

3. Can up and leave without notice •

•

4. No one to crowd your space •

•

5. You can do your own thing •

•

7 steps to overcoming the cons and focusing on the pros •

•

Before beginning any of these steps, it’s imperative to remember to focus on each step at a time and build one on top of the other – As to not overwhelm yourself. When you constantly think too much ahead, of the more difficult stages, you are less likely to believe in your abilities. •

•

1. Make a decision to focus on the pros•

•

2. Buy a calendar or start a Google calendar •

•

3. Comprise a list of small things you haven’t had time for•

•

4. Insert them into your calendar •

•

5. Stay connected with your friends and family•

•

6. Stay active... go for a walk or run around the block / in the park•

•

7. Go big... start inserting all of the major life changes you’ve been wanting to make•
