How to get over a breakup

    1. Let it out

    0
    I would find myself getting emotional at random times, but I let myself sit with the pain and let it pass rather than try and suppress it.

    2. Stay active - gym, dinners, work, friends, meetups

    0
    Make your life about something other than your relationship

    3. Meet new people - make new friends

    0
    Expand your friend circle. Plan dinners out, go to parties. The more people you meet the more fun you will have and you could even meet your future partner, if that is what you want.

    4. Life plan - look at where your life is now and where you want to go

    5. Learn a new skill

    0
    People are attracted to people that are interesting and living an awesome life.

    6. Make yourself attractive - food, exercise, shower, clean clothes, clean home

    0

    7. Do not make any big changes for at least 6 months

    0
    You are vulnerable right after a breakup. Think things through before you make any big changes. And think about the changes that are right for you and you should make

    8. Make a big change after 6 months - a new job, city, vacation

    0
    A change of environment will change your mindset

    9. Volunteer - give back

    0
    When I am down I remind myself to go volunteer to try to give something I have back to the community. Someone can always use your help.

    10. Start dating again

    0
    It can be formal dating, but also informal. Start meeting new and different people, do not get deep and heavy right away. Find someone that sparks your interest and then try and become friends with them before you get truly romantic.

Great new list
- Exercise classes - spinning, crossfit, jogging
- Professional orgs - Just joined a local group called Tech Titans that meets to discuss tech =
- Toastmasters
- Volunteering - Susan G. Komen, Homeless shelter, SPCA.
- Coworkers
- Create a meetup or event on a topic you can teach about
- Apps - dating etc.
- Bars/restaurants - go by yourself and see if you can introduce yourself to people. Ugh that sounds hard as an introvert.
- Music concerts
- Church/religion

Interesting read! This is helpful for people who want to move on. For #1, how do you let it out? like do you talk to friends? or what kind of outlet?

How to let it out
- Talk to a friend about how you feel
- Write down what you could have done better in the relationship
- Call your ex/meet in person and get closure - tell them goodbye and then do not see them for a while
- Meditate alone
- Cry
- Physically workout and sweat

Cool. What's skill have you learned recently?

Random, but the skill of being proactive and setting up meetings with different people and asking them questions about their work so I get more knowledge and then me sharing any knowledge I have that could help them. I want to be as helpful as I can to as many people as I can be.
