Some great suggestions
Lets add to it

21. Make some plans for YOU for the near future
22. Book a holiday, everyone needs something to look farward to
23. Get closer to friends who have been on the 'fringe'
24. Go swimming
25. Make a myspace site and fill it with photos of time before/after the ex. Pump yourself up on the site, 'self love'

Anymore suggestions?

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 so 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.
