    Give yourself 2 weeks to cry and get it out your system. Then get out there and get busy. You can take the get busy part however you want :) But do something

    I usually go to this mcdonalds pictured below.

    Right under the G of "Legit" in front of the arch for the "M"...is that a sprinkler system on the cart? To meet fire code regulations?

    I think it's one of the old style CFL bulbs... The shops over there always seem to have one light

    I carried on....

    I found comfort in having a consistent routine...and frankly I got so busy that a few months out I realised I hadn't even thought about him for a LONG time...

    it was refreshing to know when it came down to living life, living it in the present was much more important than living it in the past.

    I just broke up with my boyfriend of 6 years last week. I've been coping with massive amounts of wine, like a lot. This week I plan on hitting the gym harder to get some frustration out.

    Transformation/positive changes! Changing up the music I listen to, the décor of my home, even the foods I eat...which happened with my most recent breakup (divorce) and then once a lot of transforming has been done, I start dating new guys (which I did after my divorce and met my awesome now-husband) :-)

    Honestly I never really felt that breakups were that terrible. Kind of an opportunity to recreate my life.

    Working out more, sleeping a lot at times i wouldn't usually and sleeping a lot less at times i'd normally sleep like a baby. Break ups suck!

    When my BF of 10 months broke up with me, I didn't eat much for the following 3-4 months. Then when I hadn't found anyone to fill the hole,

    I kind of stop eating...... it's never good. I'm hungry, I'll load my plate up, and then I'll look at it, and just be like "ewwwwww no" and only eat a few bites. You drop pounds quick but it's not a healthy way to do it lol

    In tough break ups or situations, I would circle the wagons and make improvements in my life. That would mean working harder at work, eating better, exercising more. I knew thats how I would feel better, like an inventory and then a cleansing. Always so much in my life to be thankful for, just had to focus on that, and focus on being a better person

    Good luck
