Take the sting out of breakup

[chinee]

1. Don't see or talk to him for 60 days
You've heard of detox, right? Well, think of this as "he-tox." We don't care if he still wants to be friends, if he has anything of yours, or if you were freakishly fused together in a welding accident, there should be zero communication for the whole two months. After that, when you've regained some much-needed mental and emotional clarity, you can then revisit whatever issues there are between you both.

2. Toss stuff that reminds you of him
It's crucial that you transform your place into recovery central. That means saying buh-bye to anything that brings him to mind. Be firm but reasonable. Right now, you should only worry about you.

3. Enlist a breakup buddy
Recruit one of your best pals or a family member or even a co-worker you're close with to be your breakup buddy. Your BUB's new job? To talk you down when you're stuck by uncontrollable urge to call your ex or stalk him. When you approach your Breakup Buddy, tell her that she'll have to devote time and energy in helping you stick to your recovery program. :)

4. Get your ass in motion
You need momentum to move through the breakup process, so instead of moping around feeling sorry for yourself, get out there and kick butt..literally! Try Tae Bo, martial arts, or some other strength building sport. Exercise is one of the best ways to jump-start the healing process. If you can't make it to the gym, it's okay too, just find something that requires going outside your house. ;D

5. Don't wear your breakup on your sleeve
When you are bummed out, you sometimes tend to let your appearance slide. One rule of thumb is to never leave the house sporting something that would make you want crawl under a rock if you happened to run into your ex. By dressing in a way that makes you feel like a sexspot, you project the confidence and togetherness that you're working toward. It's a fact that if you look good, you're much more like to feel good. And an accidental bump-in at your hottest would be so worth it! ;D

6. No backsliding
Picture this: You get to day 16 of the 60-day rule. You've returned all his stuff, your breakup buddy is on the speed-dial, you've been hitting the gym regularly, and you look hot. But then you pass that cute little cafe where you had your first date. Next thing you know, the two of you are knocking boots...and you're left struggling with some serious morning-after remorse. Sure it's tempting to hook up one last time. Maybe you convince yourself that you need carnal closure. But that kind of relapse doesn't just put the brakes on your progress; it sends you reeling to the bottom of that hellish pit of pain you've been working so hard to claw your way out.
However, if you do slip, don't beat yourself up. No matter what happened, you can still get back on track. Just start over at day one of the 60-day "he-tox," and aim to do better the second time around.

It's a common reaction among newcomers to the Bay Area, where the typical home costs three or more times the national average and $750,000 fixer-uppers are not unheard of.

Some scrape together money from family and friends in order to grab a toehold in the market. Others eventually pick up and move to less-expensive states like Arizona or North Carolina. Many remain renters
