For some of you out there you have no idea how to handle life after a breakup. If you google this topic right now you will find tips on getting through the pain, dealing with the anger, getting rid of the memories, and on and on about how to let go and move on. I find this advice boring, generic, and most of all unhelpful. The fact is, the more you think about something, the more it expands. Duh. Now, I am not officially an expert on the subject, meaning only that I have not studied this phenomena nor have I been paid for my advice on the topic, although I will accept donations, but I have been through my share of breakups, some okay, mostly bad. Staying in the relationships- not really my thing. Can't claim to be an expert on that. But if you will put into practice the steps I am about to share with you, you will be over the heartache and feeling better than you ever have in no time at all.
1. GET LAID!!!!!!
I cannot stress to you how important this is. The best way to get over a breakup is a hookup right off the back- hands down. And I don't mean with a repeat. I mean with someone new and exciting. Take a trip if you have to! Go to Vegas (that's what I did), it is easy to find guys there who will sleep with you with no strings attached. And knowing that you will never see that guy again, you will be more likely to be open sexually which will make the sex even more hot and exciting.
2. HAVE FUN!!!!
This is a no brainer. Be outgoing. If you don't have friends make some. Challenge yourself to get out and meet new people but if you do have lots of girlfriends, let them take you out. Let them introduce you to guys. You don't have to jump into a relationship with them, but talking will only make you feel better. Dance on the stage, sing with the band, drink a little too much, all this is acceptable as long as you don't become an out of control, sad drunk.
3. LEARN SOMETHING NEW
Take the time to learn about something that you have always been interested in but never took the time to fully explore. I like to learn about Eastern Religions (read Eat, Pray, Love). Pick what interests you and then dive into it.
4. JOIN A GYM!!!!
As it is I hate to see women who don't really take care of themselves. Now, for those of you who are less fortunate than I when it comes to looks, this is going to be VERY important. Get your ass off the couch and get in shape. Not only will you feel a whole lot better, you will FEEL better. Set a goal whether it be weight loss, toning, running distance, whatever you can think of and go for it. Having something to work towards will give you much needed energy and plenty to distract you from thinking about him. Also the gym is another social outlet for you to meet new people and that is always good after a breakup.
5. SPRUCE UP YOUR LOOK
If you don't know how, learn how to use makeup to enhance your look. Buy something that makes you feel sexy, lingerie usually works for me, then wear it around the house with some heels and a glass of wine pretending that you are the sexiest girl in the world. Learn to appreciate your body the way that it is, but if you are unhappy with it, then do step one and change it. Also, look at the current trends in hair and clothes. If you don't keep up with your personal style, you can end up looking frumpy and that usually leads to looking frumpy. And don't forget to get a Brazilian wax before you wear that lingerie.
6. LOOSE HIS NUMBER
No, you cannot be friends with him. Under no circumstances. Why would you want to? You either broke up with him for good reason (don't second guess yourself) or he broke up with you which in that case you should never ever even acknowledge that he exists. So no need for his number or any of his pics, etc. you get the point-burn em'. That's not being bitter, it's being a confident, secure woman who can stand on her own and who wants a man but doesn't need one.
