1. Music

The key is to listen to music that bashes your ex…not the kind that makes you cry about them and makes you apologize to them for something they did.

2. Travel

Go somewhere new, someplace you’ve always wanted to go before but for some reason, you held yourself back from it.

3. Netflix

If you don’t sit on your couch with triple chocolate gelato and watch a chick flick….or 20, did you even go through a breakup?

Basically, any movie that makes you realize that the world isn’t completely ending is perfect for this

4. Go on Random Dates

Hang out with people that you normally wouldn’t, try to surprise yourself with the types of people you could date that are totally different than the one that is now in the past. Plus new memories always make the old ones fade just a tad.

5. Be with Friends

Especially the ones that told you he was no good from the start. You will get a few ‘I told you sos’ but in the end, all that your friends really want is to be happy.

6. Focus on YOU

Instead of laying in bed feeling sad for yourself for the 4th week in a row do something that will make you happy in the end go but that dress you have wanted to buy forever, put forth the effort to help make a dream come true… in the wise words of Tom Haverford and Donna Meagle from Parks and Recreation “TREAT YO SELF”
