1. Make a kick-ass breakup playlist and spin it on repeat until you can't take it anymore. Here's a few from mine:
What Goes Around - Justin Timberlake
Forget You - CeeLo Green
Tears Dry On Their Own - Amy Winehouse
Irreplaceable - Beyoncé
Fireball - Pitball (ha, I just like it)
Something in the Water - Carrie Underwood
F*ck You - Lily Allen
Elastic Heart - Sia
She's so strange. Good song though.
2. Make a secret board on Pinterest and pin all kinds of breakup things. You'll most certainly come across things like this that will cheer you up:
 |
| Here's the complete buzzfeed, which is pretty amazing. |
3. Go order this book and read it cover to cover so you don't let the same shit happen again.
 |
| Let his words be gospel. |
4. Clean up your social media. Delete him and his family from all platforms. No contact. For realsies.
5. Call your girlfriends and go out and get blitzed. Make sure you get some hot pictures of yourself in the process, too...but you probably won't and if you end up puking on your bedroom floor instead, hey, you didn't drunk dial, so we can call that a win.
6. Do the thing you love a lot. My thing is writing, so here you go. Actually, it's quite therapeutic.
7. Remove all the things from your house that will remind you of him. Then, clean the hell out of your apartment and then go buy new stuff to make yourself feel better. So far, I've got new sheets, a new decoration for my bathroom, and a Buddha statue.
8. Workout. And then do it some more. I'll be running a 5K in no time. And eat right. Except in the event of #4, in which case you can eat some pizza and a donut from Stans, provided you have enough energy to go get one.
9. Watch season 2 of Sex and the City.
10. And when you feel like crying, look at the funny things on that Pinterest board.

| Seriously. |
What's your strategy?
