I just recently went through a break up with my gf and it has been up and down. It's coming up on a month and I think I'm over it for the most part, I remember everything that happened but it doesn't bother me. Anyways, I'm wondering how do you keep the high of being emotionally happy? Like you're just going through your day and you start thinking about something or achieving a goal and all of a sudden you feel great! This feeling lasts from seconds to hours for me. I'm not sure if this feeling is real for me or if it's me just trying to cheer myself up, but either way I love it! How do I keep it going/make it come around more often?!?!
As far as getting another girl, friends tell me "don't look for one and you'll find one". I'm trying to develop a mentality of thinking I'm a fairly good looking/cute guy and any girl would be lucky to have me (more on the confident side than cocky). Sometimes I am happy to play that person but it doesn't always work out; it all ties in with the high of thinking you can do better and you're a great person.

My emotional high does not depend on anyone else but myself.

That's the secret. Be happy with YOU.

Always aim high. Not cutting yourself short in anyway, or being some one you're not. Just think highly of yourself so if you miss the mark a little, you are right on target, so to speak. Trying to be something you're not, will catch up with you, sooner or later, and most women dont like to be played.

This exactly. Live your own life and enjoy it, nothing else.

Stay close to the ones that actually love you. Family or Friends.

THS^^. Times 100.

Never depend on others to make you happy. You'll have a life of sadness and regret.

Exercise and keeping myself busy has always helped. After a long run or bike ride I've almost never felt down. The less time moping the better.

Shortly after a break up is a good time to do some things you may not have done as much. At this point, I wouldn't worry that much about finding someone else. Focus on you for a while and then start being more active in the dating scene.

I don't think there's a better confidence booster than lifting weights. If you want to make your life more active and feel better about yourself, start out by lifting. It's so cool to see the progress you make and just how much differently the opposite sex reacts to you when you start gaining your muscle.

It's not about women though, it's about yourself and feeling good about yourself. Just live an active outdoor lifestyle and you'll be a much happier person.

I also hear peyote keeps you high for a few days, but you didn't hear that from me.

I agree...when I'm feeling kind of "blah" I only need to look at my life and realize that I am extremely blessed. Sometimes that is enough to pull me out of any funk.
