. “You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.”
😇Accept it
If you catch yourself harboring fantasies of getting back together – or envisioning that delicious scene in which he comes crawling back to you – just smile at yourself and turn those visions off.
Accept that this chapter of your life has closed and tell yourself you’ll be better off by moving on.
😇Distance yourself
Maybe one day the two of you can be friends again, but now is not the time.
Your heart is still freshly wounded and seeing or contacting him will only make things worse.
Keeping your distance is vital for the healing process to not only begin, but to become complete, Dr. Orloff says.
Resist the urge to call, text or email him to see how he’s doing or to find out if he thinks the two of you made a huge mistake by breaking up.
Delete his emails, texts and voice messages and don’t answer the phone if he calls.
Keeping in contact with him now may leave you hoping he’s thinking about getting back together. So cut him out of your thoughts. Thinking about, seeing or talking to him will only prevent you from successfully moving on.
😇Stop talking about him
Talk about something else – or better yet, let your friends talk instead. They might not say so, but they’ll welcome the reprieve.
😇Skip the blame game
While it’s tempting to play the blame game after a break-up, it won’t help you get over him.
It didn’t work out and probably wasn’t meant to be. Accept that fact and move on to something better.
😇Learn from it
which things you aren’t proud of yourself for saying or doing.
Learn whatever lessons the relationship presented and focus on a bright future of love and positive healthy connections to come,”
😇Picture yourself over him
Picture yourself completely over your ex. This may take some time, but keep working at it until the picture of your new life is truly in focus.
Then enjoy feeling that sense of pride and accomplishment for getting over him and moving on.
Picture yourself looking and feeling fabulous, hanging out and laughing with your friends, meeting, talking to and maybe even flirting with other guys (even if that may sound a bit scary right now).
😇Focus on yourself
Do something just for you and give yourself some time to connect with your inner self.
