Scorpio break up strategies/ coping mechanisms

So we tend to be a little intense/ obsessive... It is hard work being a scorpio on the receiving end of a break up! The need to control takes over right?
Talking to another lovely scorp lady I had the following ideas about how I was coping at the 2 weeks no contact checkpoint.

Strategies;
- keep SUPER busy!! Shopping, catching up with friends & family, book a massage, the gym, work etc...
- tough love! Reinforce the reasons why you are not with him/her and be totally blunt about it. Luckily mine usually provided plenty of ammo in this regard. None of this 'he is amazing crap' but the stuff that is actually important (big deep breath) 'if he wanted to be with me he would' or 'he is too short and I can't wear my really high heels around him' (terrible I know- shush! it's just in my head)
- silver lining; there will be someone else there always is; you are bound to meet someone new soon- but you need to get the ex out of the way and truly mean it to have a hope for future relationships and no one ever died of a wounded pride right?
- avoid temptation... leave your phone at home if you are heading out for a couple of drinks, stay offline for as much as you can, avoid places where you might bump into him. I'm getting better, but still know there is a little part of me that wants to reach out to him and stay a part of his life, but know this is a bad idea!

I do all kinds of other crazy things; write text messages that explain how I'm feeling, but just don't send them! plan which totally amazing outfit I'll be wearing next time I do bump into him with my new amazing bf beside me, have a rewards system; when I get to 2 weeks no contact I will buy that leather jacket I had my eye on!!! write a pro's and con's list... (that might be some of the libra influence)... Save a horrible photo of him to my desk top!

As you might've gathered I'm a little crazy- but in a good way! What are your strategies—

To be honest those are the points I should have focused when I broke up with first boyfriend haha. But instead I broke up with him and still ended up the wounded party, for a whole year. 😢

I think exercise is good to keep your mind focused on your overall heath of the body, Scorpio's love to look there best so it's ideal. (I know my Taurus influence has big impact on how I am today when I feel down I eat, when I'm happy I eat. Silly cycle 😛.)

Anything to do with singing or dancing, it sends positive vibes through you and overall you project happy energy. So you might not sing like Mariah Carey or dance like Michael Jackson, it's still all fun! 😄

Lol!

Strategies:

-Keep busy
-Allow myself a time limit of reminiscing (5-15 min.) if I go over I do crunches or pushups (I've
even done this in my office--I've received many strange looks from the office husband)
-Workout harder and try a new activity (e.g. learn to salsa, Bikram yoga, etc??_)
-Read
-Journal
-Avoid any and all chick flicks
