A woman’s heart beats differently to a man, instead of a mechanical thump, it is a symphony that mirrors her victories and her defeats, her dreams and her fears.

It is also the reason why the break up of every relationship can be felt so acutely. When she says that loaded word – love – she means it with every fibre of her being. When, for a myriad of reasons, that love ends, her symphony goes from a booming crescendo to a lonely tinkling triangle.

The characters may change but heartbreak will always be a feature in the game of life and love so may this guide be a life tool ready to serve us should we need it.

1. Just like a colonic gives you a fresh start, removal of all reminders of the relationship is essential. Trashing is recommended but for those unwilling to bear the injustice to all things shiny, boxing works too. After all when mental stability returns, the regifting possibilities are endless.
2. Resist the urge to make contact, bbm and twitter count as contact…don’t do it! Also spare yourself the agony of Facebook stalking…bunny boilers you are not!
3. Have a few depression days (no more than 3). Get movies ripe with tragedy, accessorize with ice-cream and chocolate and have a wallow fest! Cry, howl and sleep, repeat if necessary.
4. Seeing a different person in the mirror makes you subconsciously wave goodbye to the sad one you were so recently. So change your hairstyle, new cut and colour preferably. Get a great facial peel, everything waxed, skin polished and nails painted. Join the gym for glow and happy endorphins. Lastly and most importantly, buy an awesome pair of sky high heels… they should be so beautiful that no one would notice if you wore them with a plastic bag! Essentially transform the outside and the inner self is soon to follow.
5. Work on the inner self is harder work than losing hateful love handles – it’s an uphill climb but so worth the ensuing happiness and fulfillment. Daily motivation can be found if you just know where to look – corny emails, diary daily sayings, even the back of coffee cups. Take the ones you identify with and write them down – feel free to whip them out when you feel a darkness descending.
6. Expand your range – think of all the things you’ve always wanted to do or learn; visit Vietnam, climb Kilimanjaro, learn Italian, tap dance – the possibilities are endless. Start with just one and invest. When you find victory, I guarantee your soul will soar.
7. Lastly, practice gratitude for all that you have been blessed with and choose not to see and remind yourself each day how fabulous you truly are. It will also encourage a sense of abundance and well-being.

Remember being fabulous is incredibly attractive – women want to be you and men want to be with you…so go forth and find fabulous!
