Q: Every player has to pass his or her paper on to the right-hand neighbor, and all have then to write on the top of the paper which has been passed by the left-hand neighbor: (2) "the name of the man;" after having done this, the paper must again be folded and passed on as before; this time must be written (3) one or more adjectives; then (4) a woman's name; next (5), where they met; next (6), what he gave her; next (7), what he said to her; next (8), what she said to him; next (9), the consequence; and lastly (10), what the world said about it. When everyone has written what the world says, the papers are collected and a spokesperson proceeds to read out the various papers. As an example, an end result can read something like this: (1) The horrifying and delightful (2) Mr. Brown (3) met the charming (4) Miss Philips (5) in Lincoln Park; (6) he gave her a flower (7) and said to her: "How's your mother?" (8) She said to him: "I'm sick of eating hamburgers"; and (9) the consequence was they won the hot-dog eating competition, and the world said (10), "Just what we expected."
A: Have the players sit in a circle; each person is provided with a half sheet of notepaper and a pencil. Have each person write on the top (1) one or more adjectives. Fold the paper over, so that what has been written cannot be seen. Keep passing the papers. Be careful that every time anything has been written, the paper is folded down and passed on to the player on your right.

Q: Exercise really does nourish the body, mind, and heart. Whether you enjoy exercising initially or not, keep with it. Make exercise a new habit. Your body will become stronger, your brain will actually work better, and you'll nourish your heart. There are plenty of gyms that offer monthly memberships now, meaning you get all the perks of a gym without a lengthy contract to bog you down. Get out there, be social, and enjoy your life. Take this opportunity to reconnect with people and activities that bring you joy. This is also an opportunity to discover new social activities that you have been meaning to look into. He will likely hear about your new social life, or he may even see photos online, and he'll see that you're living your life without him. See your friends Go to dinner Go to the theater Go to festivals make a day trip of it Join a meetup group Join a hobby club Don't go overboard with pictures of you going out, as it may give the appearance that you've lost self-control because of your breakup. There's an idea that you attract what you think, and if you think positive thoughts, you'll attract positive energy in your life. More than that, by practicing positive thinking, you'll learn to quiet all those negative, self-doubt thoughts that tend to creep up when you least expect them. Positive thinking is a habit that takes work, but is well worth the effort. Start small. Think about a negative thought that you tend to have and how you could make it positive. Then, the next time you have that negative thought, push it away and replace it with the positive thought instead. For example, you might have a recurring thought that you're just not as talented as everyone else and that you'll never be successful. Counter that negative talk. You are merely expressing fear and anxiety, not a true fact. Instead of letting your fears and worries run rampant, correct your fearful thinking. For instance, you could say, "Everyone has a talent. I just have to discover mine." And, "There are many ways to be successful. I have succeeded in many aspects of my life already. I will find ways to be successful every day, and I will continue to find ways to improve." You have strengths and you need to focus on them. Focusing on what you do well will encourage you to continue thriving and succeeding. Your success is yours and it is something that nobody can take from you. You build strength by exploiting your own talents and, as with anything, the more you do it, the better you'll become. And your continued growth will only open up more opportunities for personal growth and advancement. You might consider your professional strengths, or your personal talents, or even your artistic abilities. Combine strengths to develop something truly unique to you. For example, you've loved baking as a hobby for years. You absolutely love making homemade goodies and sharing them with your loved ones. Consider starting a blog in which you highlight your baking skills and recipes. Or perhaps you're great at organizing and juggling complex tasks. You're the person that people go to at work to fix problems, especially when they seem too big to handle. You can use these skills and start your own business on the side as a personal assistant or even a life coach. Maybe you absolutely love animals and would love to spend more time with them. You have an almost empathetic connection with them. Take that special talent and volunteer at a sanctuary for the rehabilitation of animals or your local zoo. You might find yourself wondering "what now?" after a breakup. You're so accustomed to sharing experiences with another person that you may have lost touch with yourself. Getting to know yourself and figuring out who you are, what your likes and dislikes are, and even how you feel about religious and political matters are essential to moving forward. When you move forward, he will see what he's missing out on. Start out simple and make a list. List what you like to do for fun, what adventures you'd like to take, your dream vacations, and your hobby interests. Make as many lists as necessary. The act of considering yourself and writing your thoughts down will help you get to know yourself much better. Or you can meditate, formally or less formally, by simply closing your eyes, doing calm breathing, and allowing yourself to sit in silence. Acknowledge and quiet your thoughts so that you're alone with only yourself with no distractions.
A: Get some exercise. Be social. Practice positive thinking. Focus on your strengths. Get to know yourself.

Q: There is absolutely no rush to start dating again. If you've constantly been in relationships for years, maybe it's time to be alone for a while and concentrate on yourself. Not only do you need to be ready to start a new relationship, you need to know you have the time and energy to dedicate to both the relationship and your new partner. There's nothing wrong with wanting a little bit longer if you aren't sure. While it may be tempting to jump back into the dating market again without a lot of thought, you'll find yourself having more success if you take some time to think about what you want first. Think about what you do and don't want in a new partner. Think about the type of relationship you want to have with a new partner. When it's time for you to start dating again, start by making some new friends. You never know if one of your new friends may one day be your new partner. When looking for new friends, look for the good in people. Don't judge new friends on the way your old friends or partners once treated you. It may be tempting to get back into the dating world by contacting your ex-partner and seeing if you can reconcile. If you are to be the one who got away, you can't be the one who is chasing someone else. Instead you want to be the one who is chased. If and when you start to date again, don't spend any of your time with your new partner talking about any old partners. They're in the past, so keep them there. Your new partner will not appreciate you focusing on someone else, instead focus on your new partner. Spend your time learning about your new partner. Ask questions, tell funny stories, talk about family or work or school, etc. If you new partner asks about any of your old partners, don't spend your time complaining about all the bad things you remember. Stick to the interesting stories and basic facts.
A:
Realize you have time. Know what you're looking for in a new partner. Make new friends. Avoid contacting your ex-partner. Refrain from talking about your ex-partners to new partners.
