How to forget a past love?

Who never sighed when remembering a past love? Who never wanted to meet again, to find out how that person is doing and even relive that old love? It seems normal to have one foot in the past and the other in the future. But is it that we live well what happens to us in the present?

We often think that we have enough space in our heart for the current love and also for that love we don’t want to say goodbye to. But why do we do this to ourselves?

What about those people who don’t even make room for a new love because they are stuck in a past relationship? Have you thought about it?

There are people who live with someone from the past in their heads because they actually have expectations. They don’t give up on that someone and, thus, live with a dream of resuming the relationship in the future.

Those who live in this situation not only stop enjoying the now, but end up not really giving themselves to a new relationship.

After all, living between the past and the present favors comparisons between what was experienced and what is happening at the moment.

In addition, there is a kind of denial, which does not allow the person to see that the love has ended, that the person who was so special no longer has the same feelings for them.

New goals and prospects to achieve

Getting over relationship breakups is important and necessary to move forward with our lives. The process of letting go of the past relationship can be easy for some and painful for others.

But, in both cases, going back to living in the present, saying goodbye to that relationship, however wonderful it was, is very important.

If you feel that you are stuck with a past love, reflect

Could it be that you can’t find someone who satisfies you because you keep making comparisons with that love from the past? Is it not time to build a new relationship, valuing those who really want to be by your side?

If you feel that you need to say goodbye to a past love so that your life flows well in the present alongside a new love, think:

What is really holding you back from this past love? A desire to have taken other actions? A very strong pain for being betrayed or for not being reciprocated with the same intensity of love?

Is there guilt in you for not showing all the love you felt for the person or for not really giving yourself during the relationship? Are you clear that what happened cannot be resumed in the same way? So why punish yourself and keep trapping yourself and hurting yourself for what didn’t work out instead of experiencing the new and what’s best to happen in your present?

Free yourself from what you’ve been through to live happily in the present. Accepting and understanding that both you and the other person have done the best they could in the past is important for you to let go of those chains that hold you back.
