After my 10 year relationship ended this Sunday, I have completed a full week of workouts, done yoga every day, bought some new clothes, and got my PMP today!

Hope this is inspirational. What will you do to overcome your tough spot?

Do not get fooled by the initial high- you have to keep going this way each day!

Sorry to sound negative but i can't help recall how the first month after my breakup was the best because of the sudden rush of 'freed energy'. Overtime I lost the rythm and my post-breakup trauma hit me three months later. You stay cautious and beware of your mind trying to bring you down later on.

Best of luck :)
