Okay, so the two of you have broken up. Isn’t it time to put those pictures away? I am not saying to toss them out, but for now, if you keep them out, they are only going to continue reminding you and hurting you. So, until you have put the past behind you, put the pictures away.

After the break up, you probably do not feel like doing anything. You just want to sit there and mourn or sit on the couch and drink yourself dumb. Why do that? Sure, give yourself a couple of days to properly mourn, but that is all you need. After that, it is time to get up off of that couch, out of that house and move on with your own life. Start back at that hobby you used to love...

You may have never liked working out before, but now is the best time to do so. Besides, imagine his face when he see’s your newly toned body. Pop in that iPod and start working it. You will not only be getting into shape, but you are also going to feel better about yourself.

Watch something you really enjoy. If you watch something you enjoy, then you are not going to be thinking about those things that make you sad. Just make sure the movie or television show has nothing to do with him.

This is something that I like doing regardless. Playing with your dog, cat, hamster, iguana, bearded dragon, goat, horse, snake or whatever you may have will be sure to get your mind off of him. Even going over and speaking with your fish is a good idea. No matter what, pets are your best friends and they will always be there for you.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
Hanging out with Your Friends is a Good Idea

When you hang out with your friends, you will laugh and have fun. Forget about why you have been sad. Go out and eat, watch some movies or even work out together. Enjoy your friends and know that nothing will come in between you and your best friends.
