Life hack #7: Stop stalking their social media profiles because it is harming YOU

[00:00:00] Speaking of social media, honestly, you should really stop stalking their profiles. I'm telling you, I know it's addictive. I know the curiosity is going to get to you. So do it a few times, whatever. But you know what? It is equivalent to emotional self harm when you go and look at pictures of your ex and look at what they're up to now or check out their new girlfriend's Instagram and scrutinize the hell out of it. It is emotional self harm. One of the best things I learned on Reddit for how some person told me that they got through this was they said it hurt their healing progress so much when they would peek on their ex's profiles like they see a picture of them with someone and it would make them have all of the heavy stages of grief return.

And they said it set them back months of healing. And so what they did is instead of a knife, cause I don't want to trigger anyone, but self harm is a thing. And instead they use a marker. And they use a black marker and they would like put a mark on their wrist every [00:01:00] time they went and looked at their ex.

So they had a visual indication that they were hurting themselves. And it is, it's a reminder that you're doing this to yourself. So, you know, these are just some tactics that i've learned that are I think real life hacks for how to progress through a break up, you know, as unscathed as possible.
