10 Things to do after a split:
Are you suffering from a bad case of a broken heart? Yes, love gone awry can be very painful, but it's also a great excuse to spoil yourself rotten! RACHEL A. SUSSMAN, who wrote "The Breakup Bible," suggested ten things to do after going through a split.
   1. Strip Your Sheets. Start fresh in the bedroom and get rid of old energy.
   2. Get Sweaty. It's tough to cry when you're getting loose during a Zumba session and it will boost your mood. Try Pilates or yoga at night for relaxation.

   3. Indulge at the Makeup Counter. Don't underestimate the power of updating your look --you might feel sexier than you have in years!
   4. Obsess Over the Breakup... for 15 Minutes. Let yourself freak out if you must, but schedule that time and stick to it! You'll slowly gain control over the situation.

   5. Go On a 30-Day Cleanse. No, you won't have to drink lemon, cayenne pepper and honey, but you will have to say buh-bye to your lost love for a full 30 days. It may be rough, but you'll get over things faster with zero contact.
   6. Hit Delete. Unfriend him, unfollow him and delete him from chat lists --a reminder about Mr. Wonderful every time you log on is the last thing you need.

   7. Let Your Friends Know What You Need. Be vocal about what you want --whether it's a pint of Ben & Jerry's or a sebbaticle from the opposite sex.
   8. Boost Your Ego. Do something scary like speed-date, snowboard or try a tough new recipe for a quick boost of confidence.

   9. Have Face Time With a Furry Friend. Interacting with animals has been proven to help heal emotional wounds. Don't rush out and adopt an animal, but do volunteer to watch or walk a buddy's canine companion.
   10. Take a Fabulous Trip. The key is not to go too soon --wait until you're done feeling cruddy so you can enjoy the feeling of freedom far from home. (Lee)
