Walking walking walking

Since the break up, I can't get enough of walking. I have two dogs and I want to take them out all the time - I think I could walk for miles. I am finding that it is a good way to clear my head. Maybe it's because there are too many memories of him in the house. How do you get rid of memories? I have put away everything he ever gave me, but I can't change my whole house! Time for one last walk of the day...

you really can't erase memories unfortunately...I think what really helps is to create new ones. As far as changes...go small...small changes to your home like new bedding, new curtains...moving furniture around can really make a huge difference. As for the walking...thats wonderful!!! Its great exercize, a stress reliever and I'm sure the dogs adore spending time with you! :)

If the walking helps, keep doing it.

As far as erasing the memories, that's a bit more difficult. Memories typically trigger my blah/blue moments. You just have to deal with them--cry if you need to. And as Survive suggested, make new ones.
