5 Tips For Having Fun During A Breakup

Have you ever had one of those days when you're really tired of dealing with a breakup

? You're tired of being tired. Maybe you feel physically and emotionally drained. Sometimes, you even wonder if you'll ever feel like YOU again.

I get you, Sister! During my divorces (yes, I'm twice divorced), I wasn't even sure who the real me was ~ let alone how to get back to being that gal. Maybe you've heard that little voice inside you telling you that the real you is brilliant and amazing and funny and the list goes on.

Well, are you having any fun? Sometimes, a little fun is just what you need to start feeling like your good ol' self again. I believe fun makes life better. Why not try some of the tips below and find out?

1. Smile. I know it sounds super simple and I've said it before but it bears repeating. It's really hard to feel bad when you're smiling. Actually, it's nearly impossible. Therefore, smile away! Contemplate a happy memory or a silly time in your life ~ laugh about it. Smile about it. It feels gooooood.

2. For one day, decide that you're going to have a sense of humor about everything. Declare your own personal National Sense of Humor Day. Tell a corny joke. Laugh more. Look for the comedy in everyday life. There's lots of it!

3. Do something creative and kid like and enjoy it. Maybe you haven't colored with crayons in ages. Perhaps you used to dominate in Monopoly or skip down the street. Whatever it is that brought you happiness as a child ~ try it again as an adult. I bet you'll have just as much fun as you remember from your childhood days!

4. Turn up the volume of who you are! As Judy Garland said, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version of someone else." It's true. Make a decision to focus on your best qualities (both mentally and physically) and let them shine!

5. Stop following the rules. Oftentimes, we become so rigid in our expectations. We stay inside the lines ~ always. What if you went outside that box? What is one thing that you could do that would break one of your rules and be fun? To borrow the line from Nike, Doll ~ Just Do It! Surprise yourself with your bravado. Enjoy it. Who knows? Maybe it will become a habit.

6. BONUS TIP! I used to carry around a little card with happy (mostly super hilarious) memories that would inevitably make me crack up every time I thought of them. At moments when I needed it, I would whisk out my trusty index card and read one. Within moments, I'd be chuckling to myself. Why not take a minute right now and make your own card? It's like having your own little arsenal of fun right in your pocket ~ anytime you need it!

I hope that fun is becoming a bigger and bigger part of your life. Even as you're dealing with a breakup, it's so important to keep the "F" word part of your life ~ namely FUN! (You thought I was going to say something else, didn't you?) Wink ~ wink! So what are you waiting for? Go have some fun!

Shine On, You Fun and Fabulous Beauty!
