Moving on in the age of Instagram and Facebook can feel like an impossible task. This is why, post-breakup, your ex’s profiles should remain off-limits. To keep you from wandering away from your feed (and onto their page), try performing a thorough online exorcism in the weeks after a breakup, which means unfollowing them on Facebook, Instagram, muting them on Twitter, and untagging any photos of the two of you together.

After a breakup, you need to focus on yourself — your goals, your priorities, and your happiness. Getting right back into the dating pool might seem like a good distraction, but right now, it’s more important to give yourself the space you need to heal and reconnect with yourself as an individual.

So you two weren’t a match. That’s totally OK! Just don’t beat yourself up if you see that they’re happy with someone else. Don’t go stalking their profiles. Their happiness says nothing about your worth as a person — all it says is that they’ve found someone they are more compatible with, which you’re more than capable of doing, too.

In the early stages of a breakup, the best thing you can do is to let yourself feel it all the way. Wallowing for weeks or even months, isn’t healthy or productive — but neither is minimizing or ignoring the very real pain you’re feeling. Be compassionate with yourself. Process all your emotions, don’t try to push your feelings away.

When you’re depressed, cooking a healthy meal, heading to the yoga class you used to love, or hitting the sack by 10 p.m. can seem like giant undertakings. But those very necessary acts of self-care will — not may — will go a long way towards making you feel better. At the very least, the sense of accomplishment will give you a boost of confidence

It is possible to be friends with an ex. But first, be sure to give each other space at the beginning. You need to fully separate and move past the pain of the split. Once you’re both in a healthier place and you still feel the urge to reconnect, think as critically as possible about your dynamic before you jump into a platonic friendship.

If you find yourself slacking off because you’re either too distracted or too upset to focus on the tasks at hand, it’s time to take action. Opening up to a trusted colleague or supervisor, if you feel comfortable doing so, can help. If your office support system isn’t enough, it may be time to seek professional help.

That old sweatshirt may be cozy, but the memories attached to it probably aren’t. Toss it, and any other mementoes that bring you more pain than joy. Do not revisit an old spot. This is the geographic equivalent of holding onto the sweatshirt. Don’t specifically go out of your way to seek out a memory that will only hamper your healing.

Not just the drunk “I miss you” texts, stop sending him the sly “happy birthdays” too. Do whatever it takes to avoid falling into this trap. Hand your phone to your friends, or better yet, just delete their number. Make the break a clean one. Don’t keep calling up in the hopes of finding the closure that you may or may not get.

You are going to regret that ‘edgy’ haircut and that cringe-worthy tattoo once this phase is over. Plus, all the pictures you get during this time will forever remind you of the bad decisions you made in life. One, getting a haircut. Second, dating him.
