Listen, if there's one thing I can tell you all, it's that breakups are HARD! Especially when you were so invested in the relationship. But the hardest part is the aftermath of it. The common stages of post-breakups are denial, anger, sadness, (possibly jealousy or competitiveness), acceptance, and then hope to move on. It's totally normal to miss your ex after a bad breakup. You go through stages when you try to one-up on them by meeting someone else (while still stalking their social media), but then you eventually feel sad and miss the good times you guys used to have. Let me tell you something, DON'T pick up the phone and follow him back or text him.

The one thing that we all need to realize is our self-worth. I understand how hard it is to let go (especially, if you're stubborn like me). Letting go of the relationship is actually the hardest step. It is important to know that you will definitely find someone better. If that relationship wasn't meant to be, then it clearly wasn't meant to be. You will get over that person. With the right friends and positive attitude, you will get over that person in no time and you will feel like a boss. Here are some of the things you can do in order to forget about that bad breakup:

1. FIRST OF ALL...delete that fake account and stop with the sub-tweets sis. He doesn't care!

Having a fake account or asking a friend to stalk their page is one of the most unhealthy things ever. if you're always checking to see if he's doing better than you then he probably is. You are wasting your energy thinking about someone who probably doesn't feel the same. I know it hurts and you're just itching to see what he's up to but it's not worth it. Also, stop making tweets or posting subliminal comments about them on social media. Don't even bother posting and just go to sleep sis, he doesn't care.

2. Head to the Gym (Try a kickboxing class especially!)

There's nothing better than a good workout! The treadmill is your best friend! Running to your favorite songs helps you clear your head and have some me-time. After ending my toxic relationship, I got familiar with a punching bag at my local gym. Trust me, it WORKS! At the end of the day, I lost a lot of weight and gained my confidence back. Having a revenge body is amazing, but it's not to look good for your ex. It's for yourself!

3. SHOPPING SPREE!!!!!!

I don't recommend you maxing out your dad's credit card, however, what I can say is that shopping is the BEST therapy there is! Nothing is more rewarding than buying new shoes and outfits for a night out or to feel like a new person. Once again, be careful! Amazon is my personal favorite. Pretty much 90% of the time, I browse through items and add them to my cart without the intention of buying.

4. FOOD FOOD FOOD!!!!

Everyone knows that comfort food is the best type of food. Eat whatever you want and don't listen to what anyone has to say. If this tends to be your weakness, try the other option of going to the gym instead. Do whatever makes you feel happy! But to be honest, Pizza always makes my day, no matter what mood I'm in.

5. Hang out with some good friends!

Whether you are with friends or family, laughter is the best medicine there is! I know I can definitely count on my good friends to make me laugh and forget about my problems.

6. Binge-watch your favorite shows!

Listen, put me in a room with some Game of Thrones and you won't see me until dinner time. Try not to go for the sappy-romantic movies.

7. DELETE THOSE PICTURES (I KNOW YOU STILL HAVE THEM GIRL)!!

I don't care if you looked like a snack in the picture. The picture is automatically trash because you're posed up next to a garbage can. Get rid of that picture sis and start embracing your bad b**** energy!

8. Go to a bar and order your favorite drink....RESPONSIBLY!

No, not the kind of drinking that will make you drunk text your ex. Instead, grab some girl/guy friends and go to a bar and have a couple of drinks. You might meet someone new at happy hour. Just don't drink to the point where you'll be in a bush at 3 AM talking to plants.

9. Clean your house/apartment!

Well, you probably needed to do that anyway girl. Not only that, you can maybe move some furniture around and give your apartment a new look. Re-organizing your belongings always helps with stress. Clearing your mind and getting rid of the negative energy allows you to focus on what's really important.

10. Do some community service.

A lot of people think that community service is a chore. It's actually pretty fun if you're around some positive energy and good people. Who knows? You might make new friends! Like I said earlier, cleaning and benefitting the community is great and takes your mind off of the stress.

11. Go to a concert/music festival!

I'd rather cry over Beyonce and lose my wig than cry over a no-good ex. This one is self-explanatory. Hopefully Beyonce gives you her towel! Also, being around everyone else who is happy and full of hype helps.

12. Donate their clothes to Goodwill!

I'm pretty sure he/she gave you his hoodie to keep! It's always good to get rid of things that remind you of him/her. Besides, Goodwill is the best place to go if you want to feel good about yourself. You're helping those in need! And sis, don't even bother returning those clothes to your ex. Going to meet them in person is possibly the WORST idea ever.

13. Plan a spa day or practice some SELF-CARE techniques!

One of the biggest problems after a breakup is that you don't have the motivation to do anything anymore. Sometimes, we slip away from our daily routines and give up. What's most important is practicing self-care. This can be giving yourself a facial, getting your nails done, going to a hair appointment, watching relaxing videos, making your own lip-scrubs, and much more! I also recommend going to your local massage place and getting a 60 minute massage. Anything that makes you feel like the best version of yourself is key!

14. BOSS UP and know your worth!

Learning to love yourself is the most important key! Don't ever forget who you are! You will definitely have obstacles in your life but should you ever settle for them? Hell no! You don't have to be in a relationship to feel whole. Sometimes, you need to be single and work on you!
