We’ve all been there.
It’s Sunday evening, your serotonin is MIA, and suddenly… texting your ex feels like a solid plan. 🙃
But before you hit send on “hey, just thinking about you,” take a beat. You don’t actually miss them — you’re just trying to soothe your Sunday Scaries. So let’s redirect that energy into things that actually make you feel better (and hotter).

Here’s what to do instead of spiraling into regret by texting someone who probably still listens to Joe Rogan unironically:

1. Romanticize Your Sunday Night
Light your favorite candle, throw on a cozy matching set (preferably one you bought after the breakup), and cue up a “Main Character Energy” playlist.
Bonus points if you cook yourself a hot-girl dinner (even if it’s just boxed mac & cheese with chili flakes for ✨drama✨).
Try this viral satin pajama set on Amazon — it feels luxurious and looks amazing on the couch with wine.
2. Write a Delusional Journal Entry
Not about your ex — about you. Write as if you’re already the most healed, thriving, magnetic version of yourself. Here’s a popular journal to start with!
Example:
“Just got back from brunch with my hot new date, my skin is glowing, and my phone’s been blowing up with job offers. Manifesting is real and I look incredible doing it.”
3. Face Mask and Trash TV Combo
Skincare + chaotic reality television = serotonin. Put on a hydrating sheet mask and dive headfirst into Love Island, Vanderpump Rules, or literally any franchise where people cry in bikinis.
Add this cult-favorite hydrating mask to your Amazon cart — it makes you look alive even if you cried 4 times today.
4. Send Your Friends That Screenshot Instead
If you must pick up your phone, text the group chat something unhinged and hilarious. Send them a dating prompt you found that made your jaw drop. Be the content curator, not the “should I text him?” girl.
Or better yet, browse Screenshots to Show the Group Chat: Funny Prompt Responses for inspo.
5. Prep Your Dating App for a Rebrand
Don’t stalk your ex. Stalk your own dating profile.
Take new selfies. Update your prompts. Delete that “6’2 because apparently that matters” line. We’re giving ✨fun and flirty✨, not ✨resentful and spiraling✨.

6. Romantic Comedy, But Make It You
Turn off your brain and let Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts do the healing. Watch a feel-good classic or your latest comfort flick, and imagine the meet-cute waiting for you next Sunday.
My rec? Someone Great (Netflix). It’s a breakup movie but it ends with empowerment and Lizzo. You’ll thank me later.
7. Go to Bed With a Plan
It’s not about productivity — it’s about intention. Write down 3 things you’re excited for this week (even if it’s just “trying that new oat milk creamer”).
Going to bed with hope beats going to bed with regret. Every time.
Until next time…
Cheers Lovelies!
