Once the breakup occurs, you’re flooded with a rush of painful and confusing emotions. Unfortunately, these emotions can linger making it nearly impossible for you to truly heal and move on from the relationship. This is exactly why we’re offering advice on how to finally move on from an ex. Let’s get into it. Learn to Love YourselfOftentimes, when we’re struggling to move on from a relationship, it’s because we placed all of our worth in our partner. We feel incomplete without them. We think that maybe we aren’t good enough or deserving of real love. This is absolutely not true, as every single person is deserving of a healthy and loving relationship. However, this relationship needs to first start with yourself. Learning tolove yourself will help you to see more clearly. Instead of wishing you had your ex back to complete you, you learn that you are already whole. Remind Yourself Why It EndedIt’s not uncommon for people after a breakup to relive and focus on all the good times in the relationship. We have these blinders on to why the relationship ended. It’s important when you’re working to move on from an ex that you regularly remind yourself of why the relationship ended in the first place. Writing a list of why the relationship didn’t serve you or why it ended can help you in moments when you’re stuck reliving the happy moments. It can help bring clarity and peace with the relationship being over, as you’ll know it ended for a reason. Slowly Get Rid of RemindersOne of the most challenging things to do after a breakup is to get rid of all the reminders of your ex. You want to hold on to the pictures, keep the stuffed animals on your bed, and keep the cards in your special drawer. While you don’t have to discard all of these items at once, it’s important that you slowly work to remove them. Try and make an effort to remove some of these reminders of your ex with each day. Remind yourself that keeping these tangible memories will only make moving on that much more difficult. Go No-ContactIn moments of weakness, you may be tempted to reach out to your ex. After all, the hurt and sadness you’re feeling is because of them. You may have relied on them for a long time to be the person to go to when you’re upset, and it can feel like it’s impossible to go through this alone. However, reaching out to an ex is one of the worst things you can do when you’re trying to move on from them. It's important that you go no-contact in order to truly grieve, heal, and move on from the relationship. In moments where you feel tempted to reach out to them, write a letter to yourself or call a friend instead. The longer you go without speaking with them, the easier it will be to truly move on.
