Week 1: The Detox Phase
- Delete or hide photos — out of sight, out of mind
- Mute him everywhere — no stalking his IG stories
- Write a letter (don’t send it) — pour out all pain
Week 2–3: Reconnect with Yourself
- Revisit old hobbies: Singing, painting, baking bibingka
- Spend time with barkada — no boy talk allowed!
- Try something new: Dance class, pottery, hiking in Baguio
Month 2: Rebuild Confidence
- Upgrade your look: New haircut, bold lipstick
- Set a small goal: Save ₱1,000, run 5km
- Affirmations: “I am enough. I am worthy. I am free.”
What NOT to Do
- Don’t rebound immediately
- Don’t blame yourself (“If only I were prettier…”)
- Don’t isolate — lean on your tribe
