Why is it so hard to tell yourself that it is time to move on?

The idea of "moving on" is hard because we assume that we have to forget everything about the person we loved and just start a new romantic life from the beginning. I believe that it can't work out this way and it is not supposed to be like this. Rather, try to accept the fact that you loved this person and you did your best you could for the moment you were together. Try to live with the feeling of being grateful of them sharing part of their live with you, rather then with pain and resentment. The thing is, these feelings are happening in your body and don't even affect the other person, but they do affect you. By practicing aceptance, you allow yourself to move on.

Because behind every thought there is a fight between brain and mind. the brain wants you to move on but the mind restrains it . Train your mind and you will move on :)

Sometimes we get so attached or comfortable with people or things that we do not want to let go. We feel we cannot find better or do better.

It is hard to move on because moving on means that we have to let go of a situation that made us happy in the past. It also involves change and uncertainty about the future whig can make people feel anxious and insecure. Last but not least one could be afraid that they may never be happy happy after letting go because they will never find anything better than what they had.

I think one of the main reasons why it's hard to move on, is because we are still in denial of what has happened. I fell in love with my best friend and there was a time where I would have done anything for him. However he couldn't let go of his ex. At the same time he left me hanging. I knew I didn't deserve that but I just couldn't let go. Eventually I did and I have stopped speaking to him altogether. The thought that last year at this time we were the best of friends and now complete strangers and quite scary. As i said it's denial.

Its really hard to tell yourself to move on because we are humans.We get easily attached to people andits difficult to part ways.We love ourselves and when something hurts us its really difficult.But at the end of the day,we do not always get what we want in life.So if moving on is the best way then we should accept it.

Your heart may still be attacked to that person, even if your brain is telling you its time to move on. The best thing to do is give it time :) Time heals almost all wounds

No body likes change. We are wired to habit and it is comfortable to us. Moving on means we need to make changes and that's why it is hard. But once the step has taken it will become an adventure and eventually the new beginning becomes normal. It's that first step needed to take the change that is hard which in turn makes moving on hard as we are habitual creatures....

Sometimes it's because you are so used to feeling one way, it's hard to just feel another quickly, usually it is a long process

becsuse my heart says to stay but my mind says to let go. It's like a balloon, you can't hold on forever.
