Cupid’s Advice:
Breakups are rough for everyone, and sometimes nothing heals a heart like a pint of Ben & Jerry’s and a John Hughes flick.  Cupid points to some creative ways to turn your heartache into a positive and have a little fun while getting over your ex:
1. Work out: One of the best stress relievers is a good work out. Â Try anything from jogging, to yoga, to rollerblading as long as you enjoy it and are up and active. Â Exercise releases loads of endorphins for a natural pick-me-up to make you feel great.
2. Express yourself: As sappy as love poems can be, writing them really can lighten your emotional load.  If you’re not a writer, no worries.  You can turn to any art form, be it painting, singing or photography.  It’s a great way to turn your breakup into the inspiration for a masterpiece.
3. Treat yourself: Breakups can be a huge blow to your self-esteem, and it’s important to remind yourself that it’s not all your fault.  Breakups are a two-way street.  So treat yourself to something you really enjoy.  Go to the spa for a day, or buy that awesome pair of shoes you’ve been saving for.  It may even be time for a vacation.  Do what makes you feel best.
