10 Things You Can Do After a Break Up To Feel Awesome

1. Don’t go crazy.

Yes, you’re going to have a lot of free time on your hands. But look at the bright side, you have so much time to do the things you love. Don’t cut your hair off, don’t go having sex with anything that walks, and don’t drunk dial your ex all night long.

Lonely moments are inevitable when you experience a break up, even if you’re the one that ended the relationship. Your mind will convince you to go crazy, but try to avoid the urge by reasoning with yourself. You’re better off being single. No, no, really, you’re better off being single. Come on, you know you’re better off being single! See, it’s working already…

2. Don’t feel sad.

This is dumb, but completely inevitable too. When you break up with your sweetheart, you’d start to love sad, heart wrenching songs, and beautiful views of empty walls and half empty glasses. Stare at walls for a while, and then walk backwards slowly until the hypnotic effect of the blank walls wear away. Read books instead, or play silly games on your tablet.

3. Remember the no contact rule. 

We love breaking rules, especially the no contact rule after we break up. When you were in the relationship, you were happier avoiding your lover. But now that you’re mentally restricted from contacting an ex, there’s a chance that you’d feel extremely affectionate towards your ex. Heck, you may even miss your ex. But the no contact rule exists for a reason. Follow it.

4. Keep yourself occupied doing things you love.

It’ll reduce any chances of getting caught in a haze of confusion, love and lust. Everytime you miss your ex, slap yourself across the face. If that doesn’t work or your cheek turns patchy red, get out and shop, or watch movies or play engrossing games that can force time to fly past you in a hurry.

5. Take some time off from love.

But flirt a lot. Avoid falling in love. Remember, love’s a trap that eventually leads to unbearable pain. Believe in that idea for the moment. What do you like about a relationship? The flirting and the groping. So go out there and do both of that. Just don’t fall in love just yet.

6. Do the things you’ve always wanted to do.

Yes, you were so happy when you were in a relationship. But really, how many things did you sacrifice? You gave up those late night wet texts to your cute friend, gave up grinding with other sexy people, and gave up a lot of things you loved doing. Now that you’re free, stick your ass or front up against someone sexy on the dance floor, indulge in the things you love and get your own life back out of the closet.

7. Avoid places and activities that make you miss being a couple.

You want to get away on a vacation? Don’t go to Bora Bora or Hawaii. Instead, head to Ibiza. If you can’t fly at your whims, go around town carefully avoiding all things that look like couples and red hearts. Just so you know, red hearts have buckets of blood in them. Eww!

8. Pick up on old conversations.

I mean, the naughty ones. Who was that hottie who almost made you orgasm while texting late at night? And where’s that crush of yours who is dating an ugly hag? Get in touch with all the right people who make you feel all sexy and fuzzy inside and continue the conversation where you left off. 

9. Party.

Nothing beats the wild, sexy rush of sweaty parties. There’s groping, grinding, liquor flowing and sexy people dry humping. Can life get any better than that, especially for a single person on the flirty prowl? Down a few shooters and dance like there’s no tomorrow. And party like you’re still eighteen. Just a word of caution, avoid getting so drunk that you wake up with something you’re not going to be proud of.

10. Have a fling or a rebound.

Nature’s best remedy for a broken heart. If you’re wondering what to do after a break up, go on out there and put yourself out in the market for a fling thing. Having a fling can bring back all the fuzzy buzz of infatuation and flirty love, and that’ll definitely make you forget your old love. A fling or a rebound relationship is the hair of the dog of the dating world.
