Hang out with friends and don't be alone. Keep busy and hangout with new people. Never know you might find someone else better

Eat a giant tub of chocolate icing, or another of your favorite foods, allow yourself X number of sad songs/crying; and when the allotted number is up, agree to yourself you won't be sad anymore.

Put on your best outfit - that outfit that makes YOU feel good about YOURSELF and smile. Then get your best friends around and have some quality time with them - whether it's going out or watching a really terrible film that you can't help but laugh at! Chocolate also helps.

There's a saying -- the best way to get over someone is to get under somebody else -- but sometimes it's better to take some time off of relationships and focus on yourself and whatever nurtures you and expresses you. (I've tried both methods, different times...and they both worked LOL)

Keep yourself busy, find other ways to make yourself happy. Learn about yourself and figure out what makes you want to live every single day. Break ups are hard but believe me, it will get better

Distract yourself, remind yourself why this breakup is for the best, surround yourself by people and crying is always okay.

Getting over a breakup is tough. I feel the best way to move on would be to exercise regularly, be mindful about decision you make, eat healthy and take time out for you to breath relax and just be calm. Time will heal all

Some ways to get over a breakup is to go out with friends to take our minds off of it, talk with friends and family to let it all out, and write down our feelings in a journal.

Talk about it to someone. A friend, parent, or even a professional person. It never hurts to talk about it. Do something that makes you happy, even if you're feeling a little blue.
