3. Quit/cut back on smoking and/or whatever alcohol or drugs you were abusing at the end of your relationship as a way of asserting your power over your ex-.
4. Do NOT lie around the house and mope. Force yourself to go out and fill your head with interesting and exciting experiences. (Take up a new hobby-there never was a better time to learn how to underwater basket weave or weld than RIGHT NOW!)
5. Learn/Start again doing something creative with your buddies, like start a band, or learn to knit.
6. Get a haircut. (Nothing says ¡°Fuck you!¡± to the ex like them a hot new ¡®do)
7. Change your mode of transportation. This enables you to change your patterns of rumination.
8. Set some professional goals. Improve your economic standards! Focus on work for a while!
9. Flirt with people of the type you don¡¯t normally date. This enables you to get your flirting skills back up to date, feel attractive, and improve your self esteem in a risk-free way.
10. Generally dress in a way that makes you feel good. At the end of relationships, people tend to dress like slobs.
11. Buy a vibrator or self-love toy.
12. Start pursuing that dream that you put off.
