tips on how to let go and get away of past relationships

1. remind yourself that you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it.
2. identify what the experience taught you- help you develop a sense of closure
3. write everything in a letter- you dont have to give it but it will help clarify your feelings and then see the reality of it.
4. remember the good and the bad.
5. un-romanticize the way you view love- your going to be sad and hurt when it ends but as long as you think that you can find another love thats amazing it will be easier.
6. create a space that reflects the present not the past- take down all the pictures of him/her, delete saved texts and emails.
7. reward yourself- once you get rid of the things that remind you of them, bring yourself out or go buy yourself something to reward your decision.
8. hang this statement somewhere you will see it everyday- Letting go is love, holding on is attachment.
9. replace your emotional thoughts with facts- resist the feelings of "ill never feel of find love again" to something you accomplished today.
10. let go of all the stress
11. cry it out- it will help your negative feelings release.
