How can you tell that you have really moved on?

Once you have stopped pining over the one that got away, you'll really know that you have moved on.Moving on is not something that will happen instantaneously. It might take months or even years in some cases to finally forget that person. You can’t just decide that on this-and-this date. And finally when you have completed the whole process, youll realize that moving on was the best thing that ever happened to you. :)

I have struggled with the same quesiton not so long ago! The answer is rather simple - when you are indifferent to your ex. When you do not feel anything when you see them, hear about them or when they meet someone new. Bonus level - feeling nothing when you think of them making love to someone else.

Someone who has moved on usually don't feel the need to check their ex's social media. Also they feel indifferent toward their ex; not upset about them dating someone else.

By getting back to living my life and not allowing people to hurt me and bring me down , to forgive and let things go.

I feel the release when I fully move on and recover from a situation or time when I can look back on that time period and have a positive response within me and it wont hold me back in anyway. Things will always hurt but fight it, fight back for what you want to move forward to. You will never overcome that fear if you don't make it fear you! Be happy within yourself. You have support, you are loved, you are worth everything you aspire to be and want. If anything means more then you always have the past to push into the future.

Minimal to no thoughts about the person /time period /situation. Positive habits like journaling, drinking water, eating sleeping, general self-care and work responsibility are no longer interrupted by the person /time period /situation of thoughts of them. A feeling of freedom or release, a feeling of weight lifted off of your shoulders. Engaging in positive, healthy, pure and constructive behavior and coping mechanisms instead of turning back to the person/ the time /situation. It can be difficult to tell if you have ever truly moved on from a person but hopefully these can help guide you out of that situation!

If you don't get anxious when the name of the person or any situation is mentioned. You are able to look back and smile at the good memories. You don't stalk them on the social media anymore. You operate as a normal human being, you are able to laugh,love yourself, concentrate on things. You do't accuse yourself of being at fault, you stop regretting and happily move forward to take down what future has to offer you. You do not get angry, irritated, moody over things that shouldn't trigger you in general. You are able to keep your mind calm, yourself happy.

Moving on is an incredibly hard thing to do, especially when the situation had such a great impact on you. It will be forever printed in your brain, in your essence. You can't erase your own memories. You must find out how to live with them, buried inside for the rest of your life. You can't control that but you can learn how to control the impact they have over you. Accept the past and let it go. Nobody deserves to suffer. When I begin to know myself better, that's when I move on. I ask myself questions like: "Did I deserve it?" or "Could I have change things?". The past cannot be changed but repeated all over again until it is understood and accepted. I've moved on when I started caring more about myself. When I learned how to love myself.

You can tell you have really moved on from something when you no longer have regrets about it, you have no more shoulda coulda woulda, you accept the turnout of the situation. When you can think about that person, place or thing and not have those exact same emotions as you once did. People associate moving on with a negative feeling when In reality being complacent is the bad part, you should always want to be moving and moving on. Your mindset should be evolving, your physical body should be crawling/walking/running/swimming/ but moving. These are all MY opinions and your life is yours to live in any way you please! So keep living

Moving on is a process that sometimes doesn't have an end. It is also relative depending on what you are moving on from. Often moving on refers to a breakup from a romantic partner, and sometimes people define themselves as having moved on when they are able to be completely happy in a relationship with a new person. This isn't to say that they don't reminisce about memories with an ex, but they are able to be vulnerable and loving with a new partner. I personally have not experienced a breakup, but I know I have not moved on when a person and I stop speaking but that person will always be connected to a part of my life. I find that this is the case with family members, because we will always have a relationship by blood and they will be part of my life no matter what, even if it's not a stable relationship.
