With the holidays here, I’ve been giving you tips to help celebrate your single status so you’re not walking around feeling sad, depressed, and mopey.

But let’s be real. Sometimes a girl’s gotta feel sad, depressed and mopey.

Still go ahead – celebrate your slump this holiday season!

Give yourself permission to feel down, disappointed, and lost when the mood strikes you.

Give yourself permission to decline an invitation or two, If you’re not feeling up to being social. Sit on your couch, put on your sweats, watch a sappy movie, listen to tear jerking music, write in your journal, and/or read a good book.

Let yourself feel that slump and grieve.

Let yourself get mad, depressed, and feel every emotion you need to feel! You can’t really move through a breakup until you’ve experienced the 5 stages of grief.

While I don’t want you to live in your slump or spend the entire holiday season moping around, give yourself permission, when the mood strikes, to go to that dark place as long as you have an exit strategy.

If you don’t have an exit strategy, ask your Boohoo Crew to help. If you don’t have a Boohoo Crew, email me @ ask@LisaSteadman.com and I’ll help you get out of your slump.
