in Motivation and Support
Hey guys,

My boyfriend (of 2 years) and I just broke up and I'm determined not to spend my time crying in bed and stuffing my face with chocolate.

Does anyone have any tips to stay strong or any great empowering songs for single ladies to blast at the gym. I have been playing Natasha Bedingfield - single on repeat all morning..

Please add me if your a single lady looking for support. We got this!

    I had a break up two months ago. We spent 6 years together. The first days were hard, but Im taking care of myself and feel better than when we were together.

    I'm working through the ending of a 20+ year marriage. I blast Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" and sing along when I am in the car. I probably look like a nut to other drivers, but I don't care. Remember to love yourself through all of this. Hugs to you!

    Fight Song by Rachel Patton (think that's her name) and come post in the "singles group" on this forum - in this section. It's a group who has been giving ongoing support since July. Come on over!

    It's a little older, but "I Love Myself Today" by Bif Naked is great after a breakup.

    Big Warm Hugs! I am in the same boat and I start each day with this song. Keep singing out loud...I swear it is cathartic. I follow that song with Rachel Platten's Fight Song.

    I had a little ditty I used to sing when my ex left me, instead of being broken I'd dance around, and sing "I win, You lose, You suck, Byebye.." Sounds stupid, but the old motto "fake it till you make it" worked for me! You'll be ok, chin up, FISTS up! xo

    just remember. Divorce is expensive because it's worth it! Time to enjoy your new found freedom and do things for you again!!
