26.) Make a list of all the bad things about the relationship when you are reflecting on the breakup. All too often, for the one left behind, he or she focuses too much on the good things.

27.) Write a letter to your ex but DON'T SEND IT>>Purely for your own healing.

28.) (Related to #21.) Set short term goals (run a marathon, or a mile if you've never run before, finish that book, save up six months' rent, get a 3.8 or higher GPA this semester, an A on the next exam, etc.) and concentrate your energy on achieving that goal.

It will not only distract you but you will feel sooo great and such a sense of accomplishment when you achieve it.

number 1 for me would be to work out your part in why the breakup happened so that you do not repeat the same pattern in the future.
