Break-ups get really difficult and tricky when you watch your ex find the new love of their life in no time. You not only feel dejected and jealous but also start scrolling through all the beautiful pictures that you two clicked together. It is okay to feel that way but it is equally important to get rid of that feeling quickly. 

So here are the ways to get rid of your past and be happy and joyful:

New not always means better: Comparison is not always good but there is nothing wrong in considering yourself better than the current partner of your ex, especially in love life afterall she/he/they felt for you first before moving on to the next, right?

You had a great time together: Think of those beautiful times that you both spent together and smile a little more. Also please understand that just because someone new has entered your ex-partner’s life, doesn’t mean they are your replacement. The memories don’t fade away that easily right?  You are still her/his/their first love.

There is a reason why you broke up with them: Think of reasons why you two parted ways or make you feel better, think about her/his/their flaws and this will keep your sanity intact. Also, remember that those flaws are someone else’s problems now. Felt better?

No social media stalking: Utilise that time in chasing your dreams or maybe chasing a new girl. Take control of your thoughts rather than thoughts controlling you.

Figure out what excites you:  Now is the time to tune into what makes you tick so you can start focusing your energy on something productive. Revisit some old hobby or plan an outing with all-male group.
