This thread is intended to all our fellow forumers who are in the process of moving on from a failed relationship.
Stay Busy
If you haven't figured out what makes you tick now's the time. Try new things and fill your time with whatever you feel is a good use of it. Clean, workout, volunteer or start taking a class. Stay busy in an effort to discourage yourself from contacting your ex.
Don't Stalk
Take a break from social media. Avoid looking at your ex's Facebook page or checking up on him via Twitter or Instagram. Allow yourself the space to get over them.
Be Sad
Allow yourself to grieve. If you are sad be sad. If you need to cry, cry. But realize that once the tears stop it's important to move forward with your life. One day at a time or even one hour at a time if that's what it takes.
Surround yourself with Love and Support
When you're ready, surround yourself with people you love and who love you back. Be around people who can help remind you of your greatness in the event you may be struggling to see it.
Turn off the Television and Radio
If listening to love songs or watching romance movies is going to make you feel worse don't do it. If you need to listen to something try a "breakup anthem" that will make you feel empowered not sad and watch a movie that will make you laugh or feel inspired.
Avoid the Usual Spots
Resist the urge to go to some of the places the two of you used to frequent together or going someplace where you know you will run into your ex. Again, give yourself the space to begin the process of healing and moving on.
Learn Something
Don't let your heartbreak be in vain. Allow your experience to facilitate increased self awareness and a chance to work toward self improvement.
Remember This Isn't Forever
Remember heartbreaks aren't forever. This is just one moment in time. You will get through it.
