"Hi, I'm Donna Barnes, life and relationship coach here in New York City, and the author of It's All About You. Getting over a broken heart can be a much quicker process if you really decide that you want it to be. I think there's a certain amount of time that it's, like, the grieving process that you just allow yourself to go through that. But really, that shouldn't be longer than a couple of weeks. You know, you have that initial shock of the change, but then it's really your, you know, decision that, "I'm not going to allow this to bother me anymore," and it'll stop bothering you. It's really...it's about your attitude. It's great if you had let yourself go, maybe, a little bit to get out there and start exercising. Exercising has great endorphins. It'll really help to, like, physically feel better, and that has a two-fold. You know, you feel better about yourself. You'll be ready to attract somebody new once you get to that point. Don't fall into the trap of a rebound relationship. Don't drown your thoughts about this person on the next person. Really use this time to take care of yourself and be good to yourself. Get rid of all stimulus of the person. Don't run those memory tracks through your head of, like, all the things you used together. Take care of you and do great things for you, and you'll get over the broken heart as long as you decide that you want to."

on 12/11/2009 'It shouldn't be longer than a couple of weeks'!!! Let's barrel everybody and every situation in together and reduce the deepest emotions you've ever felt and everything you've shared to being surpassable within a month. Ludicrous!!! You truly love very few people in your life, so how on earth can it be so easy to make it 'stop bothering you'?
