Even if you ended things on a good note, keeping in touch with your ex may never let you move on. Cut all forms of contact with each other till you have moved on
A breakup can be overwhelming. It is important that you openly express yourself and do not hold your feelings back. Talk to your friends, journal, or seek professional help
It can be tempting to check up on your ex and see what they are doing or how they are coping on social media. Unfollow or block them if it is holding you back
Engage in activities that you enjoy to give yourself a dopamine boost and keep your mind busy
While it may be difficult to wholeheartedly accept your breakup, it is an essential part of moving on. You need to let go of the fantasy and get back to facing real life
