3 Reasons Why You Should Avoid Rebounds

You may find yourself hopping into another relationship after a breakup either to get back at an ex or not wanting to stay single. Rebounds can significantly affect you especially if you just broke up from your relationship. Here are 3 reasons why you should avoid rebounds and choose to stay single while focusing on discovering and loving yourself:

Rebounds put a halt on your growth
Breakups are an opportunity for you to grow but when you hop into a rebound, you do not get to learn the lessons from the previous breakup. Those lessons lead to your growth by teaching you what you need so that you stop settling for less.

Rebounds do not give you time to grief
Every breakup results in a grieving period that allows you to evaluate why your relationship failed and also to heal from the past relationship. Without you taken the time to grief and heal, you will continue to repeat patterns.

Rebounds allow you to settle for less than you deserve
You have not had the time to define your needs and may be disconnected from your feelings due to your pain. You allow your pain to drive you into the arms of someone for temporary relief. This may further mess you up and make you settle for less than you deserve.

It is essential to take time off and be alone after a broken relationship to grief, connect with your feelings, process your thoughts, heal and forgive yourself and others so that you can make wiser choices and build on yourself from the lessons learned from the past. Do not settle for less than you deserve. Take time to figure out what you need, set your standards and know your worth!
