The best thing to do is to know who you are and what you like. Your living your life for you and only you, so live your life to the fullest! Distract yourself with the stuff you love and the people you love. Try something new or talk to new people. Also looking at their social media is going to bring you down also so it would be easier to block off all communications and take them off of all your social media accounts. Also be patient and just let yourself get over it slowly and grow, it takes time.

There isn't merely one way of overcoming a relationship, or the fact that a past love interest has managed to find something/someone new before you. You have to acknowledge that everyone's process of moving on differs on an individual basis. Some progress faster, while others like to take their time (which is more preferable). In addition, just because an ex-partner has managed to move on quicker than you, does not necessarily mean they have found true happiness in their new step/relationship/achievement. If you're still mutuals on social media after a break-up, remove, unfollow, and delete them immediately; seeing them move on (as well as knowing/finding it out) is the last thing you need. Also, remind yourself that you were doing great before meeting and including them in your life. So, trust me, you'll do just as great after being with them. Keep your friends and family close, engage in any form of self-love and self-care, rediscover hobbies/interests which you used to love and had not made time to engage with, be more outgoing. These are some of the ways; try out whatever works for you. Eventually, you will reach your point of post-breakup relief! Take time. Don't be vengeful or bitter. Rediscover yourself. Progress. Be happy.

If an ex has moved on before you, first take a moment to reflect on how capable you are of deeply loving another person. This is not a weakness- it is a super power! If you can pour so much love into someone ill-fitting for you, imagine how deep your love will be with the right partner. For now, pour that love into yourself. Your ex has their own path at their own pace, comparison wouldn't be fair to either one of you. Take your time, heal any wounds left open, and you will come out stronger than ever!

There really is no recipe to move on quickly but there are things and ways to be that can make the process easier....first write down your feelings or tell a friend....this gets things out of your head and can release some of it.....also be compassionate with yourself...the fact that you are hurting shows you how deeply you can care for someone else and that's a good thing....we often have a tendency to glorify the relationship when it's over..thinking that the person was perfect or if we had only done this or that then things wouldn't have ended....Another thing that is scary is we feel helpless about them moving on...and us being in the same place.....You don't know what their new relationship is like or how long it will last...what you can work on is how you want your new relationship to be and what you want to learn from you ex about what you don't and do want.....in the meantime surround yourself with good friends and cultivate activities that enhance your life....that corny saying...be the person you want to date is very true... become the best you... you will move on ...it's a sure thing...but you will do so at your own pace in your own time and you will be a better person for having had the relationship you had with your ex

ou have to understand that moving on is a process that takes different amounts of time for different people. Looking at old pictures, videos, an ex’s a social media etc is ultimately harmful to your progress. It is important to surround yourself with people who make you happy and distract you. It is important to also keep busy. When your mind is distracted it is often harder to make room for painful thoughts as time passes. Try out a sport, a reading group, get involved in clubs, or simply continue to involve yourself in activities that make you happy and more comfortable

I have found that time heal all wound for me. I believe that the best way would be to give yourself time and allowance to grieve that loss. Allow yourself scheduled time daily to feel the pain and let it ebb away. Then immerse yourself in work and wait for time to do its magic. Also, try to cut off all contact with said ex. Avoid checking up their profile on all forms of social media. Avoid discussing them with other people to avoid triggering your own emotions. Find activities to immerse yourself in where you will be focused on helping other people and not just working for you.

Try to keep yourself distracted and work on yourself to become the best version of yourself. Try new hobbies and new things that can challenge you. Distractions are a great way of keeping your mind off things. And remember, it can take a long time so go at your own pace. Nobody can tell you how to move on because everyone is different and you know how you feel about the situation so take as long as you need to and make sure that in the end you become a better version of yourself with knowledge and strength to overcome anything!

The best way is to immerse yourself in a hobby and to spend time with family and friends while doing the things you love. Be open and explore. When I broke up with my ex who had cheated and started dating the person he had cheated on me with, I was so heartbroken. I picked up yoga and it was the one thing that occupied my mind and body to the extent that I would not be thinking of my ex and be crying. Be sure to get rid of any triggers such as any gifts he may have gotten you or that coffee place you used to always visit. It takes time but it gets better, I promise.

Remind yourself that letting go is an important part of life, but is also one of the hardest parts. If they have moved on, you have to focus on letting go for yourself now. You should let go for yourself rather than letting go for them or anyone else, as this will bring you peace of mind not only quicker, but also stronger in a way. It won't help to linger in the past or be filled with regret. What is done is done and you can't change it anymore. And it won't be easy, but you are strong and you are going to be ok.

I have been in five relationships in the span of 6 years. In between, I also dated a couple of guys. It may sound a little sadistic to say this, but I don’t always mind the break up part. That is not to say that I don’t wallow into a pitiful state — far from it. I sometimes lose the energy to shower, eat, etc. I allow myself to grieve. Then, I start picking up healthier habits (this could be anything small like drinking enough water per day, or go on walks, or exercise). If I am unable to do anything ‘healthy’ then that’s fine too. At that point, I rely on my friends or indulge in some non-harmful habits like binge watching tv shows, eating maybe a little too much chocolate ice cream and etc. The point is is this: there is no sure way of ‘getting over your ex’. It just happens, you just have to believe that it does. I also like to think of myself as a rational person. I don’t believe in the sentiment that there is only one person out there for you. That’s why we shouldn’t succumb to the feeling that we are never going to find a better person, or that the person I broke up with was the only person for me. Generally, I allow myself the time to grieve, and then re-introduce myself in the world. It is really important though, that you allow yourself some time to reflect on the relationship. Why did it end? How did it end? What could he/she have done better? What could I have done better? Break ups don’t have to be the end all. It’s a great opportunity for us ‘breathe’, to do the things we said we’d do but never did. You realise a lot of things about yourself. Just don’t rush the process, take it one day at a time. Take it easy on yourself. I don’t say this lightly either.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
