This is important and often the hardest part. No social media. No texts. No emails. No calls. No contact. Period. None of this subliminal posting either. Its just pointless to post up "I'm a survivor" quotes and other such nonsense. Delete his number, his pictures, his texts. You must do this right away. And don't play slick...no receiving calls or texts either. No matter how heartfelt and sweet they may seem. Do not do it. Refer to #1 for courage.

 

Make a list that you will never lose. The perfect man list. This is how you will start again.  What do you want from a man? Dust off your bibles, ladies.... find out what God defines as a real man. Here's a few from my list that you can use to get started.

Protection, Affection, Romance, Faith, Children...Be specific.

Go out. Paint. Karaoke. Swim. Take a class. Watch a fun comedy. Bake. Volunteer. Hell, even clean up if want. Whatever you decide to do, do it. Make a choice to have fun right now before your in a new relationship. Celebrate yourself. Remember #1? You're worth it.

 

Go shopping. You need those endorphins right now. Besides it occupies your time. Buy something to commemorate your experience. Buy a watch, new shoes or a painting. Doesn't really matter so long as it means something to you. This seals the deal. Make it something valuable and sustainable. You want to remember this crappy feeling so you wont repeat it.
