You will be tempted to visit your ex's social media sites from time to time, especially if you are not taking the breakup well. Emotions are running high and you

could do some things that could be counterproductive. If your former flame cheated on you and then left you, you might want revenge. If the relationship was abusive, you might

be tempted to take your ex back. At any rate, putting some time and distance between you will allow you time to gain some perspective.

It is normal to take a trip down memory lane when you start to miss your former partner. You could get caught up in nostalgia and fall back into old

habits. To be sure you stay focused, write down the reasons why your relationship ended. No need to stay where you are not wanted. Learn your lesson and keep it

moving.

Nothing cures the breakup blues like spending time with some of your favorite people. It could be awkward if your friends hang out in places you and your ex used

to frequent, but this is a great time to venture out. Try a new restaurant or hit the gym together. You'll be glad you didn't stay holed up like a

hermit. Life goes on. Don't get left behind!

The best revenge is living well. Let's face it. You make a lot of compromises in relationships, so spend some time doing things that have always made you happy. Consider

taking a trip or picking up an old hobby like writing, painting, or gardening. Use this time to explore the things that make you, you!
