Think of a few activities that you find interesting and enjoyable. Keep a mental list of things to do when you start to obsess. If you have a list of go-to activities in mind, you can quickly redirect yourself when necessary. Examples might include gardening, reading a good novel, listening to music (that doesn’t remind you of the person), playing a video game, playing an instrument, drawing, painting, or exercising. Think of a project you’ve put on the back burner recently. While it doesn’t need to be related to the person, it might be something you’ve put off because of obsessive thoughts or actions. Finish that project, and think about how it represents your ability to move past your obsession.  For example, perhaps you haven’t been practicing the piano or cleaning your room. Maybe you've been falling behind on projects at work or school. Accomplishing a task, especially one you’ve been putting off, is a great way to cultivate a positive, self-empowering state of mind. or try relaxation techniques. Wear loose clothing, play soothing music, and sit in a comfortable position. Inhale deeply as you count to 4, hold your breath for a 4 count, then exhale slowly as you count to 8.

If you have any flexibility around your moving date, use the "flexible date" feature with online booking sites to figure out when the cheapest flights are. Look into how much baggage an airline allows you to bring along. In some cases, you can bring up to 100 lbs of luggage with you, and additional luggage can be checked at a reasonable price. This can be useful if, say, you want to bring your computer with you for fear the movers may ruin it. You can wrap a computer tightly in bubble wrap and pack in a suitcase as part of your luggage allowance. There are many different options. Be sure to do your research and write down all quotes. Once you do the math, you'll be able to assess what will work with your resources.  Plan ahead if you need a hitch! If you need a hitch for your vehicle, make sure they will have hitch in stock. Sometimes you have to order it and it takes a few days before it will arrive. If you rent a moving truck, how much will it cost to rent the size you need, and how many days and miles will that rate cover? If you have a vehicle, how much would it cost to pull the vehicle with a tow dolly? It might also be cheaper to do things the other way around: Drive your vehicle and tow a trailer. How much will that cost? Find out how much it'd cost to hire a full-service moving company (this might be easier on your back and your possessions in terms of loading and unloading, see Warnings below).  You can also look into "self move" services, which drop off a containing unit, let you load it at your leisure, and pick it up and transport it for you. There are sites where you can describe your needs and people will make bids as to how much they'll charge to do it for you. As with all your research, you want to ask how much it'll cost, how long it'll take, and how you're guarded against damages. Books can often weigh a personal vehicle down significantly. Fear not! They can be shipped through the USPS at 'media rate'. Another often ignored option is using the greyhound shipping service which offers a huge discount to students. Both options allow you to pick up your items as much as 2 weeks later which is useful if you don't know where you are moving to! Do you trust that you can drive it over two thousand miles without worrying about it breaking down on you? Does it need any major repairs before it can withstand such a trip?  Most automobiles, reliable or not, should receive a major maintenance visit to the mechanic (with special attention to radiator, transmission, and brakes) before embarking on a cross-country trek. The cost of the maintenance could save thousands (literally) in emergency repairs, towing, etc. If you're considering pulling a trailer, does your vehicle have enough horsepower to pull it across the distance and landscape you're looking at? Driving across a country often means driving across different elevations, climates and terrains. Can your vehicle make it up and down a few mountains? Are the brakes in good shape? Does it have a tendency to overheat? Do the air conditioner and the heat work? Check the weather. Weather.com and similar websites can actually give you the weather of your travel route. Consider things like mountain passes, if possible avoid them or be prepared to put chains on your vehicle if the situation requires it. Map your destination online and don't leave home without a current Road Atlas. Decide if investing in a satellite navigation system for your car is within your budget.

The datum is an arbitrary starting point placed on one end of the see-saw. You can place the datum on one end of the see-saw or the other. Let's say the see-saw is 16 feet long. Let's place the datum on the left side of the see-saw, close to the first child. Let's say the children are each sitting 1 foot away from each end of the see-saw. The center of the see-saw is the midpoint of the see-saw, or at 8 feet, since 16 feet divided by 2 is 8. Here are the distances from the center of the main object and the two additional weights form the datum:  Center of see-saw = 8 feet away from datum. Child 1 = 1 foot away from datum Child 2 = 15 feet away from datum
