The Rules of Break Up

Hey readers. How we all doing today? Today was an alrite day, uni and music lessons, really quiet. Some rocking and shocking events in terms of scandal and gossip but apart from that, it was a pretty nice day.

So recently, a couple of my mates have gone through some breakups after a couple of serious relationships. Being quite the unattached bloke myself, I've taken a couple of notes from everyone's interactions with people, and iv come up with a few tips on dealing with a break up. These are FAILSAFE ways to bounce back from a relationship, and feel much better as soon as you can.

A simple framework of 5 steps, should have you feeling fit and fine as soon as possible.

1. Write down ten reasons why you're better off without them. come on quit crying, wipe them away.  Get out a piece of paper and write down all your emotions. It may sound corny but it works.  Write down ten reasons why you can survive better without them, how your life is just going to go on fine without them, and that theres more waiting for you out in the world.

2. Get a good night's sleep. Again it sounds like its straight out from a movie script, but it WORKS.  Sleeping lets you relax, and you can release all that tension and pain in the shoulders from the crying, also sleeping it off is a good remedy for everything.

3. Go on a "rebound" date.  By this I dont mean go out and hook up with just some random, thats just whoring yourself out there when you're emotionally unstable. No, what you should do is go out and hang with your closest friends, the ones that know what will get u going again.  Maybe go out to watch the footy if you're a guy, or if you're a girl go shopping! Just hang out with your friends, the ones you had given up to hang with your now ex, coz mates are always there for you.

4.. Eat some icecream, preferably chocolate icecream. Chocolate is scientifically proven to elevate mood and happiness, as is ice cream.  This is because it acts as a cannibinoid mimic, increasing anandamide levels and the production of dopamine.  Dopamine is the feel good hormone, which is spiked in production when cannabis or cocaine is used.  Chocolate ice cream has a similar effect, it elevates your mood.  Dopamine is essential to feel good, so why not get high in a legal way when you're feeling down :) also, chocolate icecream tastes damn good :P

5. Whatever you do, don't go NEAR "The Notebook". this speaks for itself I think.  Watch the Notebook and I guarantee you will be in tears and feeling like a sack of cowdung by the end of it.

So there you have it, the secret to getting over a breakup! Those out there, I hope you find your way back into the playing field soon. for those pretty girls that need a shoulder to cry on, mine's always available ;) jokess haha. Remember, all's fair in love and war, just make sure that no matter what you always come out strong, smiling, because the one for you will come.

Keep smiling readers :)
