Hit the gym

You never know — you might meet a hottie at the gym too.
Update your do
It’s the classic post-split ritual, but there is something liberating about changing your hairstyle after a breakup. Just don’t do anything drastic like lopping off all your locks, as you may wind up regretting it down the road. Keep the change simple, and you’re sure to feel refreshed and satisfied.
Clean the house
If ever the timing was right for a spring cleaning, this is it! Start with your wardrobe and cabinets, and move through to the living room and kitchen. Getting rid of your old crap and his old crap at the same time is the ultimate cleanse!
Remember why it ended
After a relationship ends, it’s easy to idealize it and remember only the things you miss. So sometimes writing a list of his negative qualities and why it wasn’t working can keep it all in perspective. Plus, it gives you a solid reminder to turn to if you feel tempted to call or text him.
Get rid of his stuff
If he’s left any of his things at your place, pack them into a box, and ask a friend to deliver them for you. Claiming your space as your own again can be very healing. And the closer you are to feeling like yourself again, the closer you are to finding someone who will truly make you happy.
