First is acceptance. And dealing with that shit. All breakups are painful. You'll feel a whirlwind of emotions and sometimes, they will come out and when they do, let them. Be as emo as you want. Just don't go overboard and post random shit on your Facebook wall like "So alone, want to die" (or worse, hurt yourself. That's just dumb.) It will feel awful. It will feel bad. That is expected. It is important to let yourself feel all these emotions (aka 'the feels') to help you heal. I know this sounds cliche but this will make you stronger overall. Once you've accepted this then you can begin getting rid of things that remind you "strongly" of your ex (like pictures and personal accessories) I don't know if it will speed up your recovery but I'm pretty sure it will help.
Second: Distractions. Keep yourself busy to disrupt your minds' thoughts. Work can be one thing but what I really mean is drown yourself in your hobbies. If you don't have any, then it's the perfect time to think of one or if you're bored with your hobbies, time to take up a new one. Do these things to keep you
Third: Support. Look to friends and family for support. I don't know how to stress this enough. A simple hug, tap in the back or long talk goes a long way. This people will always be there for you (I hope) and will help you in any way that they can. If you have neither (or just looking for additional hugsies), then this place helps http://thenicestplaceontheinter.net/
Lastly, keep your head up. And the best thing? Your significant other is out there, still waiting for you. New possibilities! Don't be sad and be excited on this fact.
