nding a relationship or being dumped is never an easy thing to go through. Not only do you have to suffer from the initial confrontation or rejection but the lingering feelings of loss and emptiness can remind you daily of your old partner. It is never healthy to repress your feelings but that doesn't mean you can't do everything in your power to move on and be happy!

Understand why it's over - If there is any doubt in your mind about whether or not the relationship is on or off then you need to talk to your partner. Before you will be able to move on with your life, you either need to reconcile or get closure on why the relationship has ended.

Cut off communication - Those lonely nights make it very tempting to reach for the phone and confess your undying love for your ex, but you must be strong! Make your life easier, block him or her on facebook and twitter and delete their number from your phone. Hearing about their life and seeing their new pictures tends to make moving on that much harder.

Remove those old reminders - When you have been in a relationship with someone for any serious amount of time then you will have no doubt picked up a few mementos. Remove all pictures of you and your ex, any knick knacks like stuffed toys. Remove anything that invokes a strong feeling about your ex. It's easy to get stuck on good memories after some time has passed!

Re-assess your life - Use this time to reflect on what you want in life and how you can get it. Think about what went wrong with your partner and what you need to be careful of next time. Don't think of this change in your life as a failure because it is a learning experience to grow from. Eating healthy and exercising more is guaranteed to put you in a better head space and will aid in taking your life in a positive direction.

Take New Hubby- Take up a new hobby, travel overseas or just sit at home and watch the full DVD series of your favourite TV show.

These are just a few ideas to get you started on your path to recovery. Although it doesn't seem like it right now, and it sounds cliché, watch out there may be a special person out there that would be more than willing to take out a magnificent person like you!
