Firstly, try to really come in therms with why the relationship ended. If the relationship was not toxic, and you feel like it would be a good thing, try talking with your ex again!

Moving on is hard but you can do it. The first set towards it is acceptance. Accept the fact it's really over. Stop thinking of him and all the "what if's". Focus on the goal of moving on. Do the things you love .

You should probably be focused on other activities. Especially socially. Meet new people, especially with the gender that attracts you and focus on relationships with them. This will be easier each time you do that! :)

Don't dump on your ex. Your relationship is over. Write a letter to yourself, laying out all your grievances, then destroy it.

Don't dwell on your feelings or memories of that person too much. It can cloud your brain and confuse you. Surround yourself with things to occupy yourself, this will help you to move on

find a better partner. have new life goals. and accept it some part of relationship you will always miss - ofcouse it was a relationship - even worst relationships has some elements.
