Execute The Ex Thoughts!

You're sitting at home watching repeat shows of Friends with a box of chocolates on your knee wondering how you will ever get over him, whether you will actually be able to find love again. Well with these tips, you can start forgetting all about your ex and start to enjoy being single !

1. Remove The Scent

The first thing to do is remove anything of his or anything he gave you from your surroundings. I don't care whether the necklace is real Gold and is really pretty and special - he gave it to you therefore you holding onto it will be like holding onto the past or that sick-smelling blanket you used to be inseperable with as a baby - let it go. As the saying goes, out of sight - out of mind.

2. Responsive Responsibility

Whatever either of you has done, whoever has broke up with who - make sure you keep on even terms with your ex. It will help you both to get over eachother if you don't argue and refuse to speak to eachother. You don't have to organize elaborate dinners - just be polite, say hello when you see him and act neutral. If you can at least try to act like friends towards eachother, it will push the thought of your romantic relationship away.

3. Social Scene

Getting out with your friends is a great distraction and a great oppurtunity to forget the situation and let loose ! Even if you don't feel like it - going out for a couple of hours will help clear your head and you will find that your pals will be supportive, try to cheer you up and encourage you to let your hair down and have FUN without him !

4. Hitch up them knees ! Higher ! HIGHER !

You may or may not believe it, but getting out for an hour or so every day and getting yourself moving can lighten your mood ! Excercise releases endorphins which can block sensations of pain and produce overall feelings of euphoria. Hang on, not only are you becoming more happy, you're also becoming more fit ! And plus, a more toner body means more attraction to more guys . . . . .

5. Grading

Evaluate yourself and your behaviour throughout the relationship. DON'T think about his actions and what he did - concentrate on what your character was like. If you can pick out flaws and find things you think you handled well, this can then help you to develop yourself as a person. You can learn from your mistakes and then in your next relationship, you may have a better idea of what to do in each situation. If you are happy that you did all you could , focus on the positives and tell yourself that if you done your best, that's all you can do.
