Summarize the following:
If you don’t take time to process your relationship, you will not be emotionally available when you start going on dates. The grieving process is important, and if you don’t follow it through, you may end up comparing your new date to your last partner.  You also want to ensure that you’re not bitter about how your last relationship ended. If you are, you may project this bitterness onto the new person or make them feel like you have too much emotional baggage to handle, making successful dating very difficult. Instead, work on forgiving your last partner. Forgiveness is the exercise of letting go of what you cannot change and not demanding justice for a wrong. It doesn’t mean letting someone treat you like a doormat. To gain closure and give yourself license to explore your identity again, you must fully believe the past relationship is over. Do whatever you need to do to prove that the relationship is truly dead.  If you were dumped, meet with the other person to hear her reasons for breaking up with you or watch her in a new relationship. If you’re the one trying to get out of the relationship, stop all contact with the former partner, move to a new location, or recall how much she damaged you or held you back. Studies have shown that your body actually experiences physical pain after a long-term relationship ends. This is because couples often end up dictating one another’s biological rhythms. This means disrupted sleep, loss of appetite, and change in rates of temperature and heart rate. After a breakup, keep your physical body in good shape even if you don’t feel like it. As you take time to forgive the other person and get used to being without him, your physical body will adjust. More than physical recovery, mental recovery is key for moving on. A breakup affects the way you perceive yourself and your level of self-esteem. Studies show that clearly defining who you are after breaking up with someone is the most important part of being able to move on.  You may not remember who you are without the other person. Re-identifying yourself is the only way you will be able to present a whole person to a new dating interest. Try “dating yourself” by going out to restaurants alone, seeing movies you like, and attending events you enjoy. You may even start to enjoy being single because you get to do things your former partner didn’t like. The more you focus on longing for your last relationship and regret how it ended, the worse your future will be. To move on, you must practice self-compassion. One study showed that those who practiced self-compassion directly after a divorce were coping much better nine months later than those who did not.  Practice being kind to yourself by having positive thoughts about how your relationship ended. You can say something like, "I'm not alone in this; I am not the only person to go through this. We had some good times, and I can take those with me, but it's best for the both of us if we move on." Focus on how it’s best to forgive the other person rather than blame yourself for how it ended, or playing the “what if” game (repeating alternate scenarios in your mind). No matter how it ended, choosing to learn from the mistakes both you and your former partner made will help you be more successful in the next relationship.  Common relationship errors include taking your partner for granted, not paying enough attention to her, gossiping about your partner to others, and constantly questioning the relationship.  Examine yourself closely for mistakes you made and determine not to repeat them. One way to help yourself forget the last relationship and focus on the present is to build a network of close friends. Even if they are friends you had before the relationship, these friends should be on your side and ready to help you find new love.  Friends can distract you from your pain by talking about other things, taking you on outings, and so on. Friends can encourage you when you are tempted to beat yourself up for how things went in the relationship.

summary: Recognize the importance of healing before moving on. Get closure. Acknowledge that you need physical recovery time. Acknowledge that you need mental recovery time. Avoid blaming yourself. Learn from the breakup. Surround yourself with friends.


Summarize the following:
Set the piece of paper on a flat surface in front of you so the long edges are on the sides. Fold the paper in half lengthwise so it looks like a hot dog bun. Make sure the edges and corners line up before you crease your fold. Make sure your piece of paper is vertical before moving on. Grab the top right corner and fold it toward you. Line up the top edge with the left side of the paper underneath. Press along the folded edge to crease it. Your piece of paper should look like a rectangle with a triangle on top. Take your time to make sure the edges are lined up when you fold your paper. If you crease the paper and the edges are misaligned, your spaceship may not fold together as easily. Take the top corner of the triangle and fold it over onto the piece of paper. Line up the folded corner with the top right corner to make a smaller triangle. Press down along the fold to make a crease. The edge that you folded over should form a straight line on the bottom of the triangle. Rotate the paper 180-degrees so the triangle you just made points toward you. Fold the top right corner so the edge lines up with the left side of the paper. Then, fold the point of the triangle down so it’s lined up with the top right corner. Make sure to press along the folds to crease them. Undo the triangles you just made and flatten the paper out again. You should see creases forming an X-shape on each side of the paper. If the creases aren’t visible, try folding the paper again and press down harder along the edges. With the piece of paper vertical, grab the left and right sides of the creases with your thumb and index finger. Pinch your fingers together and pull the top edge of the paper over them. As you fold, the sides will collapse inside and a triangle. Turn the paper around and do the same to the other side. If you have trouble pinching the sides in, fold the top edge of the paper so the crease goes through the center of the X. Unfold the paper and try pinching it again.

summary: Fold a piece of letter-sized paper in half lengthwise. Bring to top right corner toward the left side of the paper. Fold the point on the top left toward the top right corner. Turn your paper and repeat the folds on the other side. Unfold the paper to reveal the creases. Pinch the sides of each X to form triangle bases.
