It's Called a BREAKUP Cause it's BROKEN.

Drowning your sorrows in the comforts of excess won't get him back -- it'll only make you fatter, drunker, and sadder.

So you’ve broken up and NOW the first thing you want to do is grab a whole bunch of fatty foods and repair your heart, bite. by. bite. All that is fine, but it won’t make you feel better for long, cause when you go to put on something cute you’ll realize those sweatpants you’ve been living in were a little more forgiving to your binge eating than your jeans will be.

Diving into a downward spiral doesn't hurt him, it only hurts you.

Whether you wake up in somebody else’s bed, on the floor, or curled up inside an empty pizza box, this behavior only momentarily derails you from your agony. When you wake up, you’ll be right back where you were the night before — still broken up, but now nursing a nasty hangover of excess or regret, and no further along on the road to recovery.

....understand that it's like putting a Band-Aid over a broken bone. It's not going to fix anything.

TIP: Don't be the heartbroken DRUNK girl

Even your closest friends can only handle so much of your bawling and reminiscing over someone who didn’t deserve you in the first place-SO SERIOUSEY- STRANGERS DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT EITHER.

Babbling off to the random girl standing next to you in line for the bathroom and screaming in her ear with vodka breathe over pulsing club music isn’t going to make you feel better, just a little more lonely.

TIP: GET OUT OF THE HOUSE

Getting out and enjoying some quality time with your girlfriends/boyfriends, whatever friends is essential. This doesn’t mean use them as a free therapy session, they can only handle so much of that before they abandon you too. So, give yourself rules you can only talk about BLANK for so long, then- moving on!

IT'S OVER FOR A REASON, even if you're in denial of what that reason is, YOU PROBABLY KNOW THE ANSWER.

It’s really hard to fool ourselves. We can tell ourselves we aren’t afraid, or at fault, or that we’re completely clueless and were completely blindsided but the truth is, whenever we’re “blindsided” we were really just hoping for things we already SAW to disappear. Either so we didn’t have to deal with them, or because we didn’t want to face pain. Go back through your memory, there were most likely signs or red flags you saw but simply wanted to ignore.

BE DARING ENOUGH TO RECLAIM YOUR INNER SUPER-SEXY-YOU.

If you call him......

he isn’t going to come running back and feel bad for you cause you’re crying. He’s going to be EMBARRASSED for you. He may even tell his friends how pathetic your feeble attempt at getting him back was.

Anyone who assesses you or your relationship as "disposable" is not worthy of your time or tears

What a slap in the face you’re giving yourself when you run back to someone who doesn’t even WANT YOU! You can do better than that!!

Busy yourself!
1. Take a Yoga Class
2. Make a dream board, things you want to do WITHOUT HIM/HER
3. Write some thank you notes
4. Take a cooking class
5. Buy new books
6. Go jogging
7. Visit your Granny
8. Plant a garden
9. Write a guide on Guidespot
10. Read some guides on Guidespot on things you could be doing that DON’T involve your ex.

I know it hurts....

A lot of the pain you are experiencing right now is auctually fear. Fear of things being different then how you liked them, fear of never finding love again, fear of being alone, fear of having to fill your time differently. We’re afraid of the unknown.

NOW EMBRACE THE THOUGHT THAT:

There is another man, woman, whoever, out there waiting for YOU. They’re feeling the same way, alone, ready for love. So, stop hanging on to someone by a thread….when someone else will allow you to have the whole blanket. ;)

The longer you stay in a BROKEN relationship, the more you're delaying the chance of finding a PERFECTLY GOOD ONE.

Don’t be the person standing in the way of finding true happiness. Happiness with someone who will love and DESERVE you. Someone perfect for you. Standing in the way of that so that you can hang on to some raggedy old thing is your own fault, and people will only listen to you cry about it for so long.

"Who wants a relationship that despite repairs always stalls every time you try to shift gears?"

TRUE THAT.

Whoever the loser was that dumped you or treated you so terribly that you were forced to dump them isn’t someone worth investing the time, money, aching, into fixing.

When you're busy reminiscing about all the "good times"

REMEMBER THIS that he did have annoying habits, and REGARDLESS of all of those, he isn’t sitting at home thinking about you; in fact, not only can he live without you but HE’D RATHER.

He was either partially or totally over it before you even knew it was going down

REMIND YOURSELF, he was already a few feet out the door before you had a clue…

...DON'T GO TOO CRAZY.

Messing up his life won’t make yours better. (ok fine, maybe it’ll make it a little bit better….)

Before you look for validation in others, try and find it in yourself.
