1. Throw a small party. The fun of letting loose and being
surrounded with your close friends can make anyone feel
better.
2. Gather everything that reminds you of your past love and put it
in a box specifically for this. Then give it to a friend or store
it somewhere where you won't see or think about it. When you're
ready you can either throw away the box or keep it for memory's
sake.
3. Start a new exercise or well-being plan. It never hurts to take
time to look good!
4. Start a daily journal, even if it's on your computer. Somewhere
everyday take the time to jot down whatever comes to mind. The idea
in starting a journal is not to write cleverly or even about
anything important. Just write (or type) whatever comes to mind
even if your journal starts to look like this: "Went shopping
yesterday for a new book oh yea need to e-mail Susan, the flowers
on that window sill need watering." The point of your journal is to
clear your thoughts. In a few weeks you will be able to read your
entries to discover new things and trends about yourself.
5. Join a new interest group. It's never to early too meet new
friends and, at least this way, you'll already have one thing in
common.
6. Learn something new. Take a foreign language or art course, or
buy a how-to computer program.
7. Pick out an inspirational book or movie to read or watch
whenever you start feeling down or depressed.
8. Take yourself out on a date, even if it's a night alone watching
your favorite programs and eating your favorite foods.
9. Do the things you said you always wanted to do when you were
with your partner but somehow never did.
10. Get a new look.
11. Pick up a calendar and fill out the next 3 months with social
events you'd like to attend or things you'd like to do. Browse your
city's web site or the entertainment section of your local
newspaper to find out ideas, dates and times.
12. Spend a "comfy" day. Get out your favorite comfy clothes,
pillow, blanket, etc. and just spend the day relaxing doing
whatever you want!
13. Get a pet or plant to take care of.
14. Rent a few romantic movies or read a few romance novels to
remind yourself that love does still have happy endings.
15. Write a goodbye poem or letter. Then stick it in a bottle and
throw it out in the sea or attach it to a helium balloon to be
carried away.
16. Do something you wouldn't normally do to celebrate your
"singleness."
17. Redecorate your space. Start off by cleaning out everything and
throwing away anything you don't use or need anymore. Make a few
self-indulgent decorating additions like a few candles, a favorite
painting or fresh flowers!
18. Visit a new city. Pick some place you've always wanted to go or
some place closer to home to save money.
19. Spend time with your friends.
