30-Day Breakup Guide [PDF]
Change your cell phone's wallpaper so it has nothing to do with the ex. Tell your friends. Meet two gal pals at your neighborhood bar, throw back a few cocktails, and let them tell you it'll all be okay. Collect your friends' advice and kind words in a "Breakup Bible".
Take a trip to somwhere - even grandma's house will do. Go grocery shopping, buying exactly what you and you alone want to eat. Remember the Pirate's Booty. Box up his crap. Buy a new "look at me" dress. Re-read a book you loved. Baby-sitters Club, anyone? Stop watching crap reality show reruns and change your perspective by taking in art produced by a woman. Start a "Go To Hell" fund.
Embrace your girly-girl. Write a letter to your best friend. Remember how free and easy life used to be by chatting up a little girl. Host a ladies only night. Sign up for a class. Pull out that dust-covered toolbox and fix something yourself. Cook dinner. (Listening to Billie Holiday while doing so has been known to help the process.)
Call your dad. Skip the chick flicks and watch a movie a kick-ass female lead instead. Give blood. Just don't pass out. Get a new 'do, or at least a little trim. Picture your life 25 years from now. What do want to be like when you're older? Go to a movie by yourself. Downing an entire box of Junior Mints is optional. Masturbate.
Let yourself get MAD about how you let your ex treat you. Then promise yourself it won't happen again. Treat yourself to a massage. Get a plant remember to water it. Go to brunch alone. Start making eye contact with cute guys, because it's time to move on once and for all.
