Cry. Don't act like you don't care. Let it out, you'll feel better. Don't cry too long though. Cry like you just watched a movie that makes you feel warm inside.
2. Shower. Laying in bed in the same clothes with ratty hair and day-old smeared makeup will not make you feel good. Take a long shower and wash yourself off.
3. Get out of bed. You can lay in bed the first day you're broken, but then you must tear yourself away from the ***** sheets and messy comforter. Sit on the couch instead. Anywhere but your bed.
4. Go outside. Take a walk. Look at the sun, clouds, lightning, whatever. Just don't stay inside. Get out there, even if it's just to get the mail or get something from your car. Let the fresh air touch your skin.
5. Breathe. Don't forget to allow yourself to breathe. You need to heal.
6. Smile. Even if it doesn't feel natural and you feel like you shouldn't be able to smile yet. Don't keep yourself from enjoying things just because you've been hurt.
