    But seriously, all you need is time...

    It helps when they're divorcing you and trying to take your kids and your $$$.

    It tends to give you less time to worry about things when you're in the middle of fighting for custody and trying to keep her from taking your assets.

    Have Gene Ching kick you in the sack.

    When I finally got kicked to the curb by my first big love I went out and bought a candy apple red guitar to celebrate. I still have and play that guitar. Life is good.
    I quit after getting my first black belt because the school I was a part of was in the process of lowering their standards A painfully honest KC Elbows

    The crap that many schools do is not the crap I was taught or train in or teach.

    Dam nit... it made sense when it was running through my head.

    Allow yourself to re-introduce yourself to yourself.

    a phoenix crashes and burns and is reborn from the ashes. You are the phoenix.
    Work on yourself. Start running every morning,adding sprints. Do the Body For Life total transformation. Buy some nice clothes for yourself, and a bottle of your fave cologne. Splurge. You deserve it. By summer, you will be awesome.
    Re-connect with friends that fell by the wayside when she took over your life.
    Move on. Another chapter in your life.
    Of course, there is also adultfriendfinder,fling,bootycall, and such to fill in the gaps....

    24 hour rule. give your self 24 hours to completly immerse yourself in your sadness, regret, anger whatever after 24 hours slap a smile on your face and go about your business.

    if its a really long relationship than i say you go through all the seasons single. one full year. in that time redefine who you are as a single person. get new clothes, a new workout, new hobbies a few new friends. no matter what don't contact the ex. just try to have as much fun as you can and embrace the freedom of only being responsible for yourself and having little to no accountability for the dumb **** you want to do.

    (unless there are kids involved in which case i have no advice)

    sometimes, we have to break up the old, so that we may build something new.

    long hours of physical exertion coupled with mental reflection.


    To me, when in the past i have gone through a break up, often times i am emotionally over it very fast. The total change in my life and the void that seems to be left is what gets me. (really depends on the severity of the relationship) Once life re adjusts to being without that person there, the poor mood is completely gone.

    Recognize your emotions for what they are - delusion and attachment. Breath. Move on. Enjoy.

    I have to admit that best thing I ever got out of the whole martial arts thing was a good healthy sense of detachment. Learning to recognize the nature of the mind and the ability to stay calm in any kind of storm.

    Coming from some fairly high-strung (in a non-annoying way) genetic stock, this was a true blessing. When I was really young, I'd get all torn up. Until about my Junior year in HS, I realized my perspective was totally stupid. Somewhere by my mid-twenties my free-fighting mindset crossed over to my daily life.

    This is perhaps the best value of a combat sport and a good coach. You can do combat sports without acheiving this, but training with people who get the psychology of it all - it's priceless, man.

    Being detached has also helped by making my choices good. I'm the happiest married guy I know - because my resoning for choosing the relationship were based on objective factors - not any fleeting delusions.
