How Can I Achieve a Glow-Up After a Tough Breakup? Need Motivation and Practical Tips

Hey everyone,

I’m struggling with moving on after a tough breakup, and I could really use your advice. My ex and I are still part of the same friend group, so we see each other constantly, which makes things harder. She often mocks me, pointing out things like how I’m the only one in the group who hasn’t had sex, that I don’t have a driver’s license and never will, or that I’m the only one without one.

I know I shouldn’t let her comments get to me, but they do. For many people, this might serve as motivation to work on themselves, but for me, it hasn’t been enough to push me into action. I want to show her—and myself—that I can become a better version of who I was when we were together. I want to glow up, not just physically but mentally and emotionally too.

It’s been six months since the breakup, and I keep telling myself I’ll start making changes, but I haven’t made any real progress. I feel stuck. I don’t know where to start or how to stay consistent once I do.

So I’m asking: What are the easiest or most noticeable ways to achieve a glow-up? I’d love to hear your tips, advice, or even personal stories of how you’ve done it. I need practical steps and ideas to finally break out of this rut.

Thanks in advance for your help—I really appreciate it.
