- 1 Realize that the problem was him. Your husband probably has a hundred excuses for why his cheating is your fault. It isn't. Don't take the blame for his behavior. Understand that his weakness and his selfishness led him to cheat. It has more to do with him than with you.
2 Force yourself to go out. You may be feeling depressed and embarrassed, which makes you want to do nothing but sit in front of the TV with your favorite snack. Don't do this. Make yourself go out for a walk, be social with your friends, and have a good time. Try doing an activity that you always wanted to do, but couldn't because your husband didn't want to.
3 Get a makeover. Whether you want a haircut, some new makeup, a manicure, or a sexy new outfit, changing the way that you look can make you feel better about yourself. You don't have to spend a lot of money on this. Even something small can make a big difference in improving your self-confidence.
4 Spend time with your friends. Your friends are the ones that love you no matter what. In a time like this, they should help lift you up. Going out with friends can also prevent you from being alone and wallowing in your depression.
5 Start an exercise routine. Exercise releases endorphins, which causes you to be happier. While cardio exercise is great, don't forget to include strength training, which will make you feel strong. Core exercises are also essential because they improve your posture and make you stand taller.
6 Say Hello to strangers. When you are friendly and outgoing, people like you. You may also find that a handsome man flirts with you. In general, having positive interactions with people throughout the day is going to put you in a better mood. When people are friendly back to you, you feel more confident.
