Updated on March 10, 2012

A recent Twitter trend called #WhatNotTodoAfterABreakUp has taken the Seattle tweetersphere by storm. It appears, that someone has started this hash trend, and after I came upon it, I was suddenly inspired to share some of the tweeters advice.

What you should do..

  • Take the time to grieve.
  • Find a good outlet for your emotions (like exercising)
  • Talk to a grief counselor
  • Snack on some healthy snacks
  • Do something just for you
  • Start a new hobby
  • Take a well needed vacation
  • Join a support group
