How to Survive a Breakup - Getting over Your Ex

Breaking up really sucks. It can feel like your world has just ended. Your ex is always on your mind and you wonder what could I have done different? Why did we break up? What can I do to get them back? As lonely and painful as it is right now everything isn't over. There are things you can do to ease your pain.

Go out. Gather some of your friends together and let loose for a while. There's few things more relaxing or able to take things off your mind than a night out with your friends. While you may not be feeling up to doing anything of that sort right now you STILL need to go out and at least pretend you are. A good time will likely happen and you can stop pretending. Go easy on the alcohol though, you're still in a vulnerable emotional state and you may end up doing something you'll regret later. A late night drunken phone call to your ex is definitely not what you want to do.

Keep busy. You need to keep your mind occupied right now. Do something to distract you from thoughts about your ex. Other people will take up a new hobby, get back to working out again, or exercise. This physical activity will also work out some of your pain and aggression you may have built up inside of you. You also don't want to stop caring about your appearance now either, as break ups are prone to doing(bucket of ice cream and tissue). Stay fit and stay in shape. Another may catch your eye or you may notice them and want to look your best, so don't neglect that even through this painful time.

A benefit of these activities is that they can also help you get your ex back. They'll see or hear about you having fun with your friends and become curious again at how well you took the breakup. Keeping busy and working out will make sure you're hot when they see you again. Right now focus on you and working through the pain. You can make it.
