Turn your clocks over or put them in a closet or drawer where you can't see them. Set each clock for a slightly different time. When you check the time, you'll have to remember how you adjusted this clock. This will help you redirect your thinking away from the passage of time. The same is true for electronic devices like cell phones and computers. If you want to use your cell phone or computer, switch the time zone. Just don't forget to change it back. The less you think about the time, the sooner it will pass. Visit friends. Go to the movies, or do something as simple as taking a walk or drive. Sitting at home will increase the temptation for you to watch the clock all day. Instead, go out, even if you only go out do something like returning an overdue library book or stopping by the ATM. Invite your loved ones over or go to them. Play board games, talk, go out to eat. Whatever you do to pass time, it's often easier to get your mind off of waiting when you have other people there to talk to and interact with. Exercise releases endorphins that help you feel happier and more relaxed. You don't necessarily need a gym membership, but it may help to at least leave your house to exercise. Meet some friends to play basketball, go for a run, or take a bike ride.

One-sentence summary -- Avoid watching the clock. Get out of the house. Spend time with family and friends. Spend time at the gym.

Buy a charcoal mask from a well-known skincare or makeup brand. Look for charcoal masks that contain activated charcoal, soothing agents (such as aloe vera), and essential oils that can calm the skin. If you choose to make your own homemade charcoal mask, avoid using superglue. Superglue contains ingredients that can cause the mask to harden, which will damage your skin when you remove it. Whether you're mixing your charcoal mask or purchasing a mask mixture, check your skin for allergic reactions or irritation before you apply it to your face. Apply a little of the mask onto your cheek or the underside of your wrist. Wait 10 minutes and check for signs of irritation. Signs of allergy or irritation include redness, swelling, hives, or itchiness. If you're concerned that your hair might swing into your face while you have the mask on, use a hair tie to pull it back. This will prevent your hair from sticking to the charcoal mask. Use your favorite gentle cleanser to wash your skin. Washing your face removes dirt and oil on your skin to prepare it for the mask. To open your pores, you should also apply a mild exfoliant and rinse it off before you apply the mask.

One-sentence summary -- Select a high-quality charcoal mask. Test your skin for a reaction. Tie your hair back, if necessary. Cleanse and exfoliate your face before you use the mask.

Whether your boyfriend decides to end things or not, it's important for you to have a clear headspace. Each day, spend some time in meditation to help organize your thoughts. Sit down for at least ten minutes uninterrupted and focus on your breathing and your body. If you've never meditated before, use an app like Calm or Headspace. In taking care of your mind, don't forget to care for your body. Be sure you are exercising at least three times per week and eating a diet rich in veggies, fruit, and lean meats. Get on a good sleep schedule to ensure eight hours of sleep. If you can't get to the gym, take a thirty minute walk after dinner. Exercising, eating well, and getting enough sleep is important or both your physical and mental health. If you do all of this, you may feel better all around. Your friends can be a great source of support during this time. Spend some more time with them instead of focusing solely on your boyfriend. Remember that you have a life outside of your relationship! Call your friends up to go to the movies, go shopping, or go out for drinks. If you don't have any friends, consider picking up a few classes that you do by yourself, such as dancing, martial arts, or painting. Explore and develop your life outside of your relationship. If your boyfriend should decide to break up with you, these things will still be there. Be sure you're still getting to work on time each day and doing a good job. If you enjoy things like horseback riding, reading, or dancing, continue doing those things, too. Focusing on a hobby is a great way to occupy your mind after a break up, and it may help you feel better because you won't have time to focus on the emotional pain. If you have been nothing but a good partner to your boyfriend, but he lies, cheats, or abuses you, get out! Getting out doesn't make you a quitter, it makes you wise. Pick a good time and let him know that it's over. You'll find someone who loves and appreciates you! You can say, "Even though I love you, it's time we end this. I've been trying to work it out, but I don't feel like you've treated me well. I wish you nothing but the best." You should also get out of the relationship if he shows little to no interest in you or working things out.
