Post-Break Up Routine
Everyone has a post-break up routine. In Sex & The City, Carrie called up her fuck buddy. I have friends who swear off dating for a few months and other friends who sign up for Match the next day. Some girls eat ice cream, some girls eat nothing. (You get the point.)
My post-break up pattern, the best I can tell, is to do the following immediately after a relationship ends:
- Cut and color my hair (salon appointment already booked)
- Travel (on Monday I booked tickets for Morocco for March!)
- Get three steps ahead at work
- Kill it in the gym. (I admit I am already a gym fanatic but after a break-up I tend to channel all my emotions into my fitness routine)
- Keep myself occupied with friends. I don’t think I’ve been alone for the last two weeks…
- Clean my apartment. Like really clean my apartment
- Purge my closet of anything that I am not excited to wear
- Take care of all those lingering tasks and errands I’ve been putting off (for example, detailing my car and organizing the files on my harddrive)
- Tarot (what, it’s fun!)
Last night I made a very long to-do list for these things to accomplish in the next few weeks. Once I get all of these checked off, I will feel ready to date again. I have an urge to just sign up for OK Cupid today but I know that I need to take some time first to “secure my base” and get my act together. Putting yourself back out there when you’re just all over the place doesn’t do anyone justice.
I’d love to know: Do you have a personal post-break up routine?

Mines very much like yours. I always change my hair in some way and clean up my life but I also clean up myself. Often change my outlook…

Cut and color is definitely on my list. And cleaning everything. Just a lot of purging.
