    This should go without saying, because it\u2019s natural to express these emotions when you\u2019re heartbroken. Just make sure your drinking enough water and have enough sad music on hand, I suggest Taylor Swift\u2019s RED<\/em>, folklore<\/em>, and evermore<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    1. Rediscover Your Self Worth and <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      understand that you will love someone else just as much, if not more, than the person you are currently heartbroken over.<\/p>\n

      This step does not require some fancy weeklong spiritual journey to Thailand, or reading a thousand self-help books, although if you have the time and resources by all means.<\/p>\n

      Start incorporating more black into your wardrobe, as a way to mourn the person you once were. In addition, listen to Taylor Swift\u2019s Reputation <\/em>when you enter this phase. There is no greater power than wearing a black turtleneck, black jeans and listening to \u201cI Did Something Bad\u201d.<\/p>\n

      Realize after some time that you are worthy of being loved as you are, even if the person who broke your heart doesn\u2019t love you back.<\/p>\n

      Start listening to 80\u2019s heavy metal, hair metal, glam rock bands. As a 24-year-old woman, I have never felt more confident than when I listen to Paul Stanley, lead singer of the band KISS sing \u201c\u2019cause girl I was made for you, and girl you were made for me\u201d.<\/p>\n

      Pick up habits that you wouldn\u2019t otherwise have thought of. 6:30am cycle classes, hanging out with the girls at your work outside of work, re-learn do things on your own.<\/p>\n

      You will go through phrases when you want to talk about it, then you\u2019ll want to avoid talking about it for the sake of those around you, then you\u2019ll meet a new therapist and start talking about and realize that talking about it wasn\u2019t doing you any good and wow, I don\u2019t have to feel miserable and sad all the time. I can actually be happy and live my life for me.<\/p>\n

      You will start to set boundaries, necessary and painful ones. You will begin to untangle yourself from the relationship that caused you heartache and find the strength to take a step back.<\/p>\n

      Begin making plans to pack up your whole life and make small preparations to leave your old one behind, physically and metaphorically.<\/p>\n

      1. Develop an unhealthy love for a Rockstar that is your dad\u2019s age\u2026 <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
