Breakups are never easy. In fact, the downright suck!

Aside from spending time with friends and going out, sometimes we want to be alone in order to fully process and heal from the split. It can be impossible to think of fun breakup tips to help mend your broken heart, but that’s why I put together my own personal breakup survival list that helped me get through this difficult time.

From my heart to yours, here’s my 10 fun breakup tips to help mend your broken heart:

Fun Breakup Mend a Broken Heart Tip #1: Smashy Smashy Plate

Buy a white plate (it doesn’t have to be fancy or cost a lot) and use a black sharpie to write everything that annoyed you about your ex. Once you’re done, find a safe place to smash the crap outta it! Who doesn’t like to break things? (Please be responsible with disposing the broken pieces).

Fun Breakup Mend a Broken Heart Tip #2: Favorite Candy/ Ice Cream

Have a calorie fest! It’s okay to stuff your face with candy and ice cream! But give yourself a limit.
I only allowed myself to eat all the junk food I wanted for one whole day. Then, I focused on eating more healthy alternatives, such as fruit and vegetables. Foods that have natural sugar will still give you energy, boosts your mood, and is good for you. After all, the important thing here is to take care of you.

Your diet and body, shouldn’t have to suffer because of some idiot who broke your heart.

Fun Breakup Mend a Broken Heart Tip #3: Booze it Up.

Sometimes you just need to drink. Vodka. Whiskey. Gin. Wine.
I honestly didn’t start drinking until after my first breakup! For me, it was just a phase and I’ve pretty much stopped drinking completely now. If you’re going to drink, do it responsibly and know that it’s not going to solve anything in the long run. It may make you feel good temporarily, but you’ll feel like shit the afterwards.
I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m just saying, you’ve been warned.

He’s Just Not that Into You
A Walk to Remember
Crazy, Stupid, Love (Topless Ryan Gosling always helps)

I absolutely LOVE Lush products! Treat yourself to some bath bombs, bath melts, bubble bars… you name it, you deserve it! Burrow yourself under a blanket of bubbles, relax, bring your favorite magazine or book, turn on some spa music, and allow yourself to drift into a luxurious bliss.

Fun Breakup Mend a Broken Heart Tip #10: Keep your Mind Stimulated

I know it can be hard to focus on anything else if the only thing you want to do is wallow in your sadness. Sometimes, it’s okay to wallow, just don’t get stuck in it. But believe me, the best way to change your mood, is to change what you’re thinking about. Try to focus on something more rewarding for you. Read a book, buy some girly magazines, or learn a new language. Anything that will keep your mind occupied and invested in your mental well-being.
