So this week I got a text from a buddy of mine that lives in Chicago, that his girlfriend of a year broke his heart. What followed was a string of texts, and his drunken snap chats that just looked depressing. I understand that getting dumped sucks, and it is never fun to deal with, but in my experience there is a best way to deal with it. I can tell you 100% drinking isn't the best solution, at least not for me.

So I have been dumped a handful of times in my life, enough to know that it can really hurt when the feelings are real, but there is one way in my opinion that hurts less than any other. Now I'm not saying that this works for everyone, but I think I have some pretty good reasoning behind my logic. After every relationship I have been in I have hit the bottle except the most recent, and that has only led to more heartache and depression.

My last relationship was "the one". The girl I thought I was going to marry, and while the end was still filled with heartbreak, the pain was eased by a natural form of therapy, working out.

Now "Legally Blonde" probably isn't the most scientific source, but it makes a lot of sense. Working out and exercise is a real form of therapy. It's a way of letting go and releasing any extra energy that could be used to stress out or think. Working out is a natural stress reliever.

While most people right out of a breakout probably don't want to hear advice about hitting the gym, in my experience it is the best way to get out of the post relationship funk. It's much better than drinking, alcohol being a natural depressant, and will send you further into depression.

So, hopefully you never get dumped again, but if you do, try working out instead of drinking.
