There are many factors that can help you quickly recover from any breakup, casual or messy. The best therapy has little do with antidepressants, binge eating, or crying yourself to sleep every night. No, you can wash that (wo)man right out of your hair in no time, provided you do the following:

1. Remove any trace of your ex (pictures, clothes, gifts) from your house.

2. Write a list of everything he or she ever did to annoy you.

3. Go out with someone new, every week.

4. Get together with the girls/boys for a wild night out.

5. Look the other way if you spot your ex with someone new.

6. Throw yourself into your work.

7. Change your look by cutting your hair or getting in shape.

8. Take him/her off speed dial.

9. Sever all ties with his/her family and friends

10. Prohibit your friends from mentioning your ex.

11. Find a new favorite restaurant the two of you never frequented.

12. Have a good time! Above mentioned are just some minor tips that hope will ease the “pain”. However the best medicine is still time I guess.
