30-Day Heartbreak Survival Plan

Lost, confused, seeking relief after a breakup. Use this 30 day, daily roadmap to help you heal, rebuild, and begin moving forward after a breakup.

Week 1: Stabilizing & Coping (Immediate Relief & Emotional Processing)

  • Day 1: Reach out to someone you Trust or find a therapist. Be open about how you are feeling and implement a no-contact rule (if possible), tell your friend to support you with this. If you have the urge to text the ex, send it to your friend instead (obviously give them a heads up).

  • Day 2: Identify your attachment style and how it influences your breakup response. Read my blog to understand that more.

  • Day 3: Do a social media cleanse—mute, unfollow, or take a break.

  • Day 4: Journal about what you’re feeling without judgment.

  • Day 5: Find a self-soothing technique (deep breathing, grounding) on Youtube, meditation on Heartbreak, or simple mindful breathing.

  • Day 6: Create a "Breakup Playlist"— find songs that might validate emotions and and a separate one that uplifts you.

  • Day 7: Engage in a self-care activity (bubble bath, workout, favorite meal, hike).
