CHOOSE GOALS THAT MOTIVATE
Motivation is the key to any achievement. If interest is low and you doubt the value of the results, then the chances of success tend to zero. To maximize the likelihood of triumph, you need to feel mobilized and confident. Be clearly aware of what needs to be done to make the goal a reality. To push into the background everything secondary and move forward - but not forcing yourself, but with pleasure. Zeal in achievement is determined by the importance of priorities: by not focusing on the main thing, you run the risk of coming up with too many goals and exchanging for everything at once, without paying any of the proper attention.

I could tell I'd moved on when I hit a trigger point where I'd normally want to act, or do something to respond to that trigger, and instead I didn't do anything. It was a matter of realizing that I didn't care about whatever the trigger was, and that I'd moved on from it enough that I didn't have to have to give it a response, that it wasn't worthy of my time and energy, and that it was ok to just not have that be something I cared about anymore. And a certain point, the trigger just didn't evoke the same response, and particularly the same emotions, that would make me want to respond to it in the beginning, from which I could really tell I'd moved on.

I would say you have "moved on" when you are able to accept the fact that you had good and bad memories with this person and are able to accept these memories as they are. Your main motivation in your actions is pleasing yourself and not them. You want to go out and do things you enjoy not because it reminds you of them but because it is fun. I thinking moving on is subjective and not always a straight path because on some days you will miss them more than others. You can be fully moved on from someone and still have days where you might miss the memory of them. When you feel as if you are moving forward with your life, is when I would say you have "moved on".

I think it happens when you're not paying attention. You just wake up one day and the thought of them or hearing their name doesn't upset you anymore. You detach yourself from them, no more phone calls or texts. No more checking their social media. When you let go of the anger and are able to wish them well. It is not easy but acceptance is the first step. Often times one person will move on before the other one does and that is ok. But when you are really over someone, you will get to know it.

When it no longer affects you the way it did, when you look back at it with a positive viewpoint rather than lament why it happened (basically seeing it as an experience), when your close friends or family members tell you that you look brighter and noticeably healed and when YOU, the one who went through it, feel at ease. Moving on is a subjective process and happens at varying rates for various people. Don't be harsh on yourself for taking more time than someone else. This is not a race. Each one of us has a different emotional response to situations. But, it is also important to understand that dwelling on something for too long needs to be checked. Life is a dynamic flow of events and memories and no situation stays constant. Take your time, but also don't fall prey to your negative emotions. Hope this helps :)

It doesn't hurt when you think about it. Your body feels natural when you think about the incident or the person. You feel as if you can talk about it more freely than before. It might feel more nostalgic almost. I thikn you know you're over it when you feel a sense of peace within yourself when you even think about it sometimes. It's more of a sense of feeling okay, despite what happened or what the person meant to you. Things attached to the person, or the event, might not mean as much, or trigger much thoughts. That's how you know you're over it

You'll just realize one day you do not feel the same way you did towards something. For instance, you ended things with someone. Seeing them or talking about them can be hurtful, you just feel sad, lost, angry sometimes when you think about what happened. Some part of you just regret everything that happened. But later on at some point you just realize you just want the best for them, you don't feel like what you guys had was a mistake but it could be taken as a lesson. That's when you know you have moved on. You just automatically accept the fact that it was meant to be and it's alright.

You can tell when you really have moved on when you realize that you are looking to be in a relationship to get something from it, rather you are able to enhance the relationship, you are whole and happy as you are and accept that that you have everything you need inside, always have and always will and your journey is one of looking inward versus outside of yourself for answers to your journey personal valuation. You can tell you have really moved on when you are enough as your are where you are, with yourself as your compass for all they you need moving foward.

In my experience, one can tell that they have moved on when it is no longer difficult to talk about it. When you can speak freely without regret or censoring, you have moved on. Sometimes, it's easy to fall into denial, thinking we have moved passed something that we have not. We feel anger or regret towards the past, yet claim to have accepted it. Once these feelings reside, we know acceptance has come. Truly moving on is to not avoid speaking on it, but embrace speaking on it. Realize that this was a part of your growth, and know that with this acceptance comes relief.

if you have moved on 100%, then you would feel that it's okay if you seem them with a new partner and you would not feel threatened by them or you would not experience jealousy. you might not feel the way you used to, when you are around them (i.e, you might not get butterflies and nervous jitters anymore). you would eventually stop thinking about them often and would try to meet up with new people, maybe as a rebound or for an actual connection. but you need not always be ready to get with another person right after you are over another person.
