Here are 15 ways to help you heal your heart after a breakup</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#1 Don't Wallow in Grief</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Sad songs only lead to crying jags and wondering what might have been. The first step to healing is not letting them hurt your heart any more than it already is.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#2 Get up and dance!</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Grab your friends and go out for a night on the town and shake what you got! Just remember to shake it alone, you don't need any more complications right now!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#3 Go shoe shopping</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It's amazing how a gorgeous new pair of shoes can lift your mood (or two or three pairs for that matter!)</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#4 Join a gym</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Surpress the urge to bury your sorrows in a bucket of ice cream. Instead, go out and join a gym. It not only gives you something to do, it helps you feel better about yourself.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#5 Learn something new</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Join a cooking or art class, or learn how to do something you've always wanted to do. You'll be affirming yourself and yes, you'll be putting yourself out there to meet new people. It's better than becoming a hermit!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#6 Listen to some uplifting music</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Music has the power to change your mood -- for good or bad. Find music that lifts you up and inspires you!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#7 Get away for awhile</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It's amazing what even a weekend away can do for your state of mind! Schedule a trip with some friends and go have a little fun.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#8 Volunteer</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Volunteer at a local animal or homeless shelter. Instead of dwelling on your own pain, you'll be helping those in need, and that feels great!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#9 Go Shopping!</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Scared to wear half your wardrobe since it reminds you of them? Go out and have a little retail therapy, it really does help.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#10 Visit a spa</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> A day of pampering can really help you feel better, body and soul.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#11 Resist the urge to cyberstalk</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Breakups today are totally different than they used to be. Don't cyberstalk, it's just hurting you! Unfriend them on Facebook and unfollow them on Twitter. Trust us, it's for the best!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><br /></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#12 Remove painful reminders</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> We know, we know, you'll always treasure that little gift. Bottom line? If it reminds you of them and is causing you pain, toss it. In six months you won't even remember it existed.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#13 Discover something new every day</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Make a goal to discover something new in your neighborhood every day -- whether it's a little store, or a new restaurant. It not only gives you something to look forward to, it helps take your mind off the pain.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#14 Make a change</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Always wanted to do your hair or nails differently, but didn't because "they" didn't like it? Here's your chance! Have a little fun, experiment and get a little crazy. It's all about revealing the new and improved you! K, maybe not a faux-hawk, but you get the point.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>#15 Move on</b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> They're out of your life, and you're ready for the next adventure! Resist the urge to text or call, and delete their number. It's best to make a clean break and start new. You've got a lot to look forward to!</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Have you got a news tip, article or press release for us?

The APC had endorsed Senator Ahmed Lawan as its candidate for the senate presidency.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The government official who spoke to <b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-refuses-to-meet-with-saraki/">SUNDAY PUNCH</a></b> said: "The truth is that the President is still displeased with what transpired in the National Assembly, especially the Senate.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “Their encounter during the APC National Executive Council meeting, when they shook hands, was the first meeting between President Buhari and Saraki since he emerged as the President of the Senate.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “We are aware that Saraki has been going about begging people to assist him to plead with the President to meet with him. That was one of the reasons why he visited former President Obasanjo.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “I can tell you that the President is very pained by what happened. He felt that since he had been transparent with the party, everybody should play that way. But since Saraki took that path, the President was and he is still pained. Let us just hope that at the end of it all, they will be able to put the matter behind them.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Also speaking to SUNDAY PUNCH, a highly placed party official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue, told one of our correspondents that the handshake between the President and Saraki during the recent NEC meeting of the APC “was for journalists.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He stated, “President Buhari is still upset because of what happened. If you read in-between the line his speech during our last NEC meeting, he reminded people who joined the party after it was formed not to rubbish the sacrifices made by party leaders.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “It was not for the fun of it that the President took time to go down the memory lane to trace the genesis of the APC.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “Although the President said he was prepared to work with anybody who emerged as leader in the National Assembly, he did not envisage a scenario where Saraki would emerge as the Senate President and Ike Ekweremadu, a member of the PDP, would emerge as the deputy president of the Senate.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Asked whether or not the President might change his mind anytime soon, the source said, “Not until the governors, who were mandated by the NEC to resolve the matter in the National Assembly, bring the matter under control.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> When contacted, the Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, said there was no cause for alarm. During a telephone interview on Saturday, Olaniyonu said Buhari had repeatedly told Nigerians that he believed in the independence of the parliament.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He explained that Buhari had had cause to formally communicate with on “state issues” and that they exchanged warm pleasantries at the APC NEC meeting held in Abuja.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He said, “The president of a nation can have private discussions with the Senate President or the Speaker of the House of Representatives anytime he likes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “At the moment, President Buhari, probably wants the issue around the National Assembly leadership positions formally resolved before calling for such meetings. He has said that he would not involve himself in the affairs of the legislature and we should respect his views.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Olaniyonu explained that Saraki and Buhari had been having regular official communication and that such would continue because the Senate would have to approve all appointments made by the President.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Asked why the President had met with the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, without meeting with Saraki up till now, Olaniyonu answered that he was not aware of the Buhari-Dogara meeting.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> He said, “I am not aware of that meeting you talked about. If the meeting had held, the picture taken afterwards would have been published in the dailies. To the best of my knowledge, I don’t think there was anything like that. “</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Also, the spokesperson for the pro-Saraki Senators of Like Minds, Dino Melaye, told one of our correspondents on Saturday that Saraki and Buhari met and had fruitful deliberation at the NEC meeting of the APC.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> “The President and the Senate President met at the NEC meeting. We are all awaiting the outcome of the peace moves initiated at the meeting. For now, there is no cause for concern,” he said.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> When contacted, the Special Adviser to President Buhari on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina declined comments.</div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><span style="color: blue;">Have you got a news tip, article or press release for us?
