My personal letter to those experiencing a Heart-Break

Here are 4 ways to move on while retaining your dignity.
**1. Out of sight, out of mind.** Let their face start to fade from memory by severing social media connection. Torturing yourself by cruising their Facebook page, twitter feed, or Instagram account is like rubbing hot sauce in your eyes. Who tortures themselves on purpose? Heartbroken people do. Stop it now.
**2. New music, no memories.** Playing the music you experienced together is not only torturous, doing so reinforces that you’re alone now, over and over again. It’s time to discover new music that holds no connection to your ex. Make an upbeat playlist and start to let your mind clear itself of your musical memories together.
**3. Inhabit new territory.** Home is where the heart is, and unfortunately yours is broken. Change things up in your living space. Now’s the time to move the furniture around, buy yourself some new sheets, and for your sanity’s sake, throw away or return any forgotten items such as toiletries and clothing. They may not remember their leave behinds, but your heart will and it only prolongs the pain — I promise.
**4. Explore your future versus frequenting your recent past.** Seek out a new coffee shop, gym, and grocery store. Running into your ex by accident isn’t fate; it is calculated desperation that leads back to misery. When we change up our routine, we open the door for new people to arrive. If you’re not ready to meet someone new, I’ll bet you are ready for the pain to subside, so venture outside your box.

Acknowledge that you have dreams, and there is nobody in life that is going to help you get there. You are on your own.
