Calling all breakup survivors! Whether you just got dumped, are healing from an old breakup, or are somewhere in between, this tip’s for you. I recently told you about a site called first30days.com that chronicles the first 30 days following a major life event. Well, in keeping with that theme, every day for the next 30 days I want you to mark your calendar. If you go all day and all night without contacting your ex in any way, and that includes cyber stalking his or her myspace page, driving by their house, texting them, then give yourself a gold star (or smiley face, etc.) for that day. If you break down and contact your ex, highlight that day as a setback and pledge to do better the following day. The goal is to get 30 consecutive days of gold stars on your calendar. If you can achieve that, you are well on your way to recovery. If you have setbacks, that’s okay. Just keep going. The goal is to hold yourself accountable for your healing and encourage yourself to move on. Good luck!
