~HOW TO REALLY GET OVER AN EX~

         ~How to really get over your ex~
When it comes to broken hearts we've all more than likely been there and some of us many times than others, and for you that haven't been there yet, well study up because it may just come in handy one day.

The first step to 'getting over your ex' is delete, burn, and trash everything that reminds you of him/her. I know it will sting at first but it will truly get you closer to being back to your old self again & not to mention feeling great! So gather up all of those pictures, his old t-shirt (or her old panties) and start the fire.

 Next delete his/her number out of your cell for good. This too will sting some but if you don't do it now then it only keeps you in false hope of rekindling the relationship then you'll be even more disappointed weeks later when you realize it's really over. Delete him from your e-mail addresses, your myspace accounts & all!

Next, You've already completed the first step so don't stop there. Go out for a girls/guys night out have a drink or two & trash talk them (we all do) it will help to talk about those pesky little things about him/her that you just couldnt stand. Like the way she snorts when she laughs or they way he never learned to put the damn toilet seat down.

Now, create a new you. But don't change your self just get a new hair do' or get your nails done, break out the old high heels. Do something to spike your confidence. Theres nothing like the look on your ex's face when he/she sees just how hot you can really be. Do whatever makes you feel beautiful.

Then, realize that you are far too good for them anyway.

Now, just when you're about to start feeling down again, get up and do the things you have been putting off. Be productive. Keep yourself busy. Clean the house, do the laundry, give the dog a bath, take care of errands whatever. This will help you to feel better and cleaning the house and throwing out clutter, or paint a room it'll make it into a whole different environment. You can use different colors to elevate different moods such as: a blue can be relaxing. & getting things better organized will leave you relaxed in your home. Clutter can strike up your stress levels especially now, when you're already emotional.

Surround yourself with loved ones or meet new people that may catch your eye. Don't go searching for a new relationship immediately. But it never hurts to see an old crush for dinner or just a long chat. Some think that nothing helps you get over an ex better than finding a new love. But thats not always the healthiest way to move on. If you must, then try to take it slow.

Try something new. What better time than now to go on a weekend road trip with a friend or go see a new movie thats funny. Laughter can change your entire day around. Anything that you've always wanted to try but just never got around to it. Now's the best time. Some people enjoy adrenaline rushes (although not for me) you may find it very helpful in a time like this.

Adopt a pet. Of course only if you are an animal lover. Having someone new to love and care for and someone to give you the love you need can make things alot less lonely at home & especially when it's time for bed because for most, bedtime is the hardest while going through a break-up. Find yourself the perfect pet. A cat, dog, bird, or start small like with a guinea pig or which ever you prefer. Dogs are good with people. Cats, not always because they like for you to do for them. But remember if you come to see that a pet is not right for you then always find him/her a new loving home.

Don't spend hours thinking of what could have been. Try to limit yourself from the many thoughts and reminders of him/her. Don't allow yourself to sit and day dream about them. When you catch yourself doing that, then get up and do something else or call a friend.

Live. Go visit family that you havent seen in a while, or friends. Set up an online account and re-connect with old friends. You can always pass time by catching up & it'll help you keep your mind off things.
