Think about all of the costs associated with running your business and how long you think it will be before you start turning a profit. Typically, new businesses don't make money until after the first year. You will probably need to invest a lot of time and money before the business starts showing returns. These costs include rent and utilities at your location, equipment costs, supply costs, advertising fees, employee salaries, among other things. Go to your bank and see if you can get approved for a business loan. You will need to provide the loan officer with a detailed business plan including expected costs and the eventual rate of return as well as projections regarding eventual profit. Additionally, look into grants and loans from the Small Business Administration. Check out Get a Business Loan, Get a Small Business Loan, or Get SBA Small Business Loans for more information.

It can be tempting to push away the pain and negative thoughts with junk food, excessive shopping, alcohol, or drugs, but these "quick fixes" won't lead to lasting growth. They'll only set you back further. Instead of engaging in destructive habits to cope with your feelings, do constructive things, like exercising, eating well, and leaning on friends. Bottling up your feelings can prevent you from moving forward. Try shouting, crying tears of frustration, or any other form of expression when you're overloaded with emotion. Allow yourself to feel whatever comes along. Try not to judge yourself. Set a deadline to allow yourself time to grieve the relationship properly. This could be 2 days, 2 weeks, or 2 months; just permit yourself to not be okay for a while. During this time, you might feel anger, confusion, or even relief. Once your grief period has elapsed, try your best to re-engage with your life and the world, even if that's just going to a friend's house for an afternoon. List their bad traits as well as any reasons why the breakup needed to happen. Doing this helps break the mirage that you lost the greatest person ever. It also helps you to maintain some objectivity moving forward. Make a list of the "bad side" to your ex, so you don't only focus on the good. For example, you might list hardships you went through together, such as if they cheated, lied, or failed to support you. You can't just erase someone you cared about deeply, so don't assume the love for your ex will just disappear. Instead of getting mad at yourself for still caring, channel those feelings positively. Send well wishes to your ex whenever they cross your mind. For example, if you are overcome by memories of your ex, you might say aloud, "I wish him/her a healthy, happy life." Breathe in deeply, exhale, and continue with your day. Don't beat yourself up if you still love the person long after the breakup. That's okay, but that doesn't mean you should have stayed in a relationship that didn't work. Go into vivid detail about what led up to the breakup, how you felt, and anything you want to get off your chest. Try to identify the role you played and strive to be forgiving of your ex for their part in things, too. You can mail the finished letter if you want, but you can also set it on fire or tear it to shreds. Making peace with what happened in your relationship can help you move forward. Acceptance can also help you learn important lessons that you won't have to repeat in the future. It takes time to move on from someone you love, so try not to be hard on yourself. Simply take things a day at a time. With time, your feelings will start to lessen and you'll feel more positive and hopeful about the future.

. One of the best things you can do for your lips, in fact for your skin in general, is to make sure to drink a lot of water. Water not only hydrates your body, it nourishes your skin and promotes new cell growth. In fact, dry lips can be a sign that your body is not getting the amount of water it needs. Although it might be counterintuitive, wetting your lips by licking them with saliva actually causes drying. If you tend to bite your lips when nervous or without realizing it, try using chewing gum to satisfy an oral fixation. Biting your lips causes cracking and can create open sores that may need to be treated with antibiotics. Foods that contain vitamins B and C are especially good for your skin. Consider taking a supplement if your diet lacks these vitamins. Omega-3 fatty acids are also extremely good for your skin and can be found in foods like fish, avocado, and almonds. You can also take a daily Omega-3 supplement.
