If you're trying to spring clean your love life, step one is getting over your ex.  And if you're stuck, we've got four tips to help you out.  Listen up . . .

#1.)  Block Them on Facebook.  Think about what makes you miss your ex the most.  If it's something around your place, throw it out or bury it in your closet.  And if you can't go on Facebook without stalking their page, block them.

#2.)  Follow the 30-Minute Rule.  When you get the urge to call or text your ex, do something else for 30 minutes:  Go for a run, check your favorite website, watch an episode of Modern Family, whatever.  After half an hour, you'll be less interested in contacting them. 

#3.)  Call Your Friends.  If you still feel like calling your ex after the 30-minutes are up, call your friends instead.  But don't just call any friend, since you'll end up venting about your ex.  Call the friend who talks your ear off about EVERYTHING . . . the one who can't stop yapping about her coworkers, her gym routine, or whether "Twilight" is better than "The Hunger Games".  Usually it's annoying, but this is when you NEED it.

#4.)  Make a List.  Write down three reasons you're better off without your ex.  When you miss someone, it's tempting to fixate on the good times you had and forget about the bad.  But when you have a list right in front of you, you see the bigger picture.
