1. New pussy. Even just bantering and flirting with a few different girls can really be therapeutic and start to clear the mind funk.
2. Meditation (develops more control over your thinking patterns). I seriously can't stress this enough. It's a lot easier to start with this if you do so before your mind is scattered and your emotions are running high, but if you just persist with 5 minutes a day (maybe a few times a day if you're feeling scattered), you will gain more and more control over your emotions fast.
3. Reframing and changing your perspective. This quote helps me when the decisions other people make frustrate me:
Quote:Quote:
"If we regard ourselves as free agents, and the personalities surrounding us as the puppets of determinism, we shall have arrived at the working compromise from which the finest results of living can be obtained." - Arnold Bennett
By thinking of other people in this way, they (especially women) actually become humorously predictable, and it becomes harder to resent their decisions. Instead you shrug and laugh and focus on controlling the things in your life you can control - work and getting in shape being good places to focus that attention. This is the type of mindset that helps me lean back with a smug IDGAF smirk on my face when I should be angry at a chick, and suddenly she's the one who is more emotional than me, even if I should be the one that's worked up.
Women hate it when they can't phase you, in a good way. It makes their hamster put in over-time. You can almost hear the wheel cranking and it's little heaving gasps for air.
But it's more about your own feelings than initiating a response. And maybe looking at your situation in another way would work better for you.
The important thing is to realize you can
decide how to perceive things in your mind if you want. You're only blowing this chick up in importance because of your ego (rejections especially is a bitch) and emotional state. NLP may also help in this regard - listen to a few Anthony Robbins cds because he really brings it down to the level.
4. Get busy with friends - go out chasing girls or staying busy doing cool new things that keep you from dwelling.
5. Self Improvement audios. I find these easier to focus on than books when my mind is running away on me. Anthony Robbins, as mentioned above, is a good one. When I get pumped up on self improvement, I find it hard to let something so trivial fuck with my head. Let someone show you the world in a different light.
6. New pussy. This one deserves a second mention.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
