How to Bounce Back After a Breakup Like Jennifer Aniston

If you've just ended a serious relationship, discover ways to bounce back from the breakup by taking cues from a superstar like Jennifer Aniston who not only persevered after a divorce, but did so while maintaining a high-profile career. Use these strategies to survive and thrive like she did.

Instructions

1. Take the high road and refuse to make negative comments about your ex, even if he starts dating someone else immediately after your breakup. Jennifer Aniston never added to speculation by commenting on Brad Pitt's relationship with Angelina Jolie, despite rumors that it ended their marriage.

2. Keep yourself occupied with work and other pastimes to take your mind off of the breakup. Just as Jennifer continued to make movies like "Friends With Money" and "Rumor Has It," you can dive into projects, work and outings with friends.

3. Remain open to finding new relationships even if you're not actively looking for them. Jennifer met a post-divorce boyfriend, Vince Vaughn, while filming "The Break-Up." You might meet someone while taking a class to learn a new hobby or sport, dining out with friends or browsing at the bookstore, for example.

4. Get revenge on your ex by staying in shape and looking better than ever. Jennifer reportedly does yoga three times a week to feel more energized and adds a 22-minute cardio workout before each session to help slim down and warm up for the yoga poses.

5. Give love a chance again, even if your first new relationship doesn't work out. Take a lesson from Jennifer, who dated actors, models and now musician John Mayer after her Brad Pitt breakup.
