My theory is getting over an ex is exactly like ripping off an old bandaid. Its hard to do and the glue overtime gets stronger.
1. Move on
Go on the rebound. Get them out of your head instead of sitting at home, go out.
You may think you need time but that just gives you time to mourn. Just go have fun and soak up all the endorphins that you can.
2.Drunk Cry
This is an art form that is part of the 10 step plan. Have a big sob fest. Cry out all the feelings. The anger and love and sadness. Get it all out of your system like a fucking juice cleanse. Exert.
3.Terrible Romantic Dramas
Literally, watch anything that indicates it could possibly be worse. I’m talking about the Titanic, there is death and it’s not a happy love story.
Don’t watch the quirky ones where it all works out. Like some 1920s depression love story drama. Anything that will make you feel like it wasn’t that bad and it could be worse.
4.Girl Boss
Feel like RiRi at her finest. Buy some wine, feel yourself, go to the gym if you’re about that satanic bs. Go out and buy a suit jacket, put on some highlight.
Glow to the gods. My grandma always said if you feel bad, buy a lipstick girl. Work on your career or your social life or just yourself. Go to the spa, feel fabulous. You got this!
5. Eating ALOT
Pig out. Sit down on your couch and eat your feelings, it is contradictory to above but damn dating is hard. Grap some vegan ice cream sit down and listen to the backstreet boys.
Be a queen. It may be gross but chocolate is the way to mend. And pizza. And beer.
6. Negatives
Just think about all the things they did wrong. Get over your ex by thinking about all the negatives. Like even the smallest things, like if you got Bronchitis and they wouldn’t bring you soup. Think about that. Think about all the things that made you cringe. Or maybe he forgot your birthday. All the things that you forgave rehash.
7. Don’t text
Don’t obsess and text them all the time. When they block you they make that a little easier. This sounds easy but that little voice in the back of your head will always wonder what they are doing.
And it leads to hope. If you broke up, you broke up. Don’t delay the process, a quick break hurts less and is efficient.
8. Freedom
And now you have freedom. Go to wine night and girls night and be active. Try yoga or binge watching a new show with a lead that is the opposite of your ex.
Getting over an ex is hard but think about all the possibilities. All the things that you can do now.
9. Purge
Dump the stuff. It may feel wrong but it is a necessity. Say he left behind a super cute graphic tee, make it a crop top and get over your ex.
Revamp or purge. This means presents and clothes, that necklace that you always wear time to throw it out. Start over. Old habits die hard.
10. Social Media Cleanse
The final stage is acceptance. That means showing your followers it is over as hard at that is. Get over your ex with a simple delete.
Delete the photos even the special album that you have saved. Everything that is online that leads a trace of them get rid of. That means gushy comments too. Everything.
