How To Move On After A Breakup (from them and the past)

Why is letting go of the past so hard, even when we know it’s holding us back? It can seem impossible to move on from a breakup or heartbreak, moving on from the past, or even moving on from a mistake.

In this video I will share 5 tips that I use to move on and I know it will help you with your exes, your past mistakes and your future self.

These are the steps that I used to move on in my life and to let go of the past to give myself more freedom to create a better life in the future.

If you are reading this, I have been testing out captions on videos because I think it is easier to follow especially on emotional topics. I would love to know your thoughts and if you think I should keep doing them?

"The moment you let go, is the moment you make room for something better." Facts.

[roarrrrr]

The feeling I lost the girl of my dreams and the fact that she is able to find another guy kills me so hard but she’s not the best one for me but I still Mis her and want her back but I can’t believe she didn’t want anymore because I was everything for her and I don’t know how to move on because a part of me doesn’t want that ?

The worst thing about breaking up was seeing him fall out of love when we were together and then seeing him move on with no sorrows! And even worst when u have finally decided to let go, they come back with no apology but to stay in contact! But what for ? If they really wanted the presence they could have worked and saved the relationship. How is it that the come and go at their convenience.

I need a hug man, the girl i’ve been wooing over found another guy, and the worst part is he didnt have to do anything. The dude she likes is always late, cheats at exams, and doesnt have good grades, but still she fell for him because of his looks, which is something that i dont have. The world is an unfair place, i need a hug.

My girlfriend of two years broke up with me 2 days ago. The hardest part is she says she fell out of love with me a year ago. Its left me feeling used and broken. I tried convincing her to not give up on us and go to couples counseling and she just sat there with this cold expression and said no. I'm trying to break my pattern of falling back into drinking but it's hard. This video helped a bit so thank you

The memories are what’s keeping me stuck while she moved on

Amazing video A month ago, my partnership of five years came to an end. The choice to break up with the person I love is something that really gets to me. Even though it's all for nothing, l've done everything I can to get him back, and I couldn't imagine my existence without him. I've tried everything to stop thinking about him, but I still can't help but miss him and think about him often. I don't know why l am saying this here.

me and my gf broke up last week, as there was no possible future for both of us together due to religious differences, we really loved each other, we still do, but now it just the memories that r left .ik remembering these memories again and again is holding me back, but those memories are so good that i cannot let go of them, we spend our last whole year together, we cared for each other and now all of those moments we created are left with me in just my memories now. Worst thing about breakup is not actually the breakup, real worst part is not talking to them, like how there were a part of your daily routine, how they were an integral part of your life, then suddenly they disappear, so many changes all together, idk how ill handle this, how ill manage to survive without them being in my life.ik that thinking about your relationship all the time, will hold me back, i can see the outcome too, i cannot study properly, but those memories, those moments are too good to let go, i still love her, dont know if we'll ever be together again, dont know if we'll ever meet again, all i wish is to relive all those memories once again with HER.

Wow that’s powerful “The moment you let go is the moment you make room for something better” I needed to hear that

[Claret-sh]

Lads I’m stuck up on someone who just doesn’t care, I know it needed to happen as I’ve been told I deserve better and it’s helped me to find out what I want to do in life. Even though I’m slowly accepting it and it’s helped me I miss her and the memories we have. She changed so quick and I could feel it coming, I gave everything. It hurts knowing she’s gone and there was no real explanation. This is my first relationship and one of the only girls who has been interested in me

My boyfriend broke up with me 2 days ago, it was hard on me and it effected me badly I want to thank you Joey for teaching me how to handle the breakup and move on
❤

[EllaChinoise]

Letting go should be a mandatory course. Still learning how to do that on my own. Drop the emotional baggage but still feel grateful. At least I learn something when carrying the bag.

[LBAutry]

Very timely video, yesterday I realized I had to change my environment, one conducive for rest, free of distractions, to actually process some emotions I've been holding onto for years, alone time is so important. Journaling helps me process my thoughts and feelings in an objective way, and I can do it during my busy days. But processing my emotions I realized I needed the change of pace, to slow down, and just let my emotions be and accept the hurt I've been carrying. The freedom I felt afterward was incredible. ✨️

Thank you Joey, this helps! My ex broke up with me a month ago and it hurts, I keep feeling this fire to fix it. Make her realize I want to fight for our relationship, but she left because she felt that we both had to change and it pressured her. Reaching out will only increase that pressure. Putting out that fire is emotionally tiring, I don't know how to get rid of it. However, it feels my emotions and voice of reason are slowly getting more balanced. Finding your videos two weeks ago is allowing me to view my struggle in a different light. Thank you!

[billy-joeperry]

we broke up and not even a week later she got with one of my friends I have to see her laughing and joking with hm every day, though out our relationship she was flirting with my friend so it does make sense to me now but not only did I lose the girl I loved and that friend but I also lost the group of friends I hung around with bc they just went with him, I still have dreams that shell come back but ik for a fact that would hurt more than her leaving every time I see her I feel sick seeing her hug and kiss the guy we was going to move out together some time next year. I really dont blame her for getting with him bc I can see that she's happy and that all I want for her. I don't believe im going to feel myself for a while or even be Abe to date again for a while but ur videos have been giving me the motivation I have been lacking since its all happened probably about a month ago, ive always suffered with mental health and nothing has seemed to help until I started to watch ur videos since I have things have really started to make sense ive been going to the gym eating better improving myself and thinking more positively about myself so thank you a lot for helping so much.

I went on a hike today after so long and sat on a rock to look back and reflect on (sadly and unfortunately, her and I broke up in October last year a week before my birthday). There are my good and bad days, my ups and downs but this is definitely what I needed to hear today. Thank you tons for this because it was exactly what I needed to hear and really hone in and focus on the Present.

[MarcP-]

Blessings to everyone else going through this. And thank you Joey. It's very encouraging to hear words like the ones you share. I know thing's will be fine, but the process is no joke difficult.

[cosandrramarsh]

Letting go is making room for something to come in. I agree. ♡ beautiful message.

[daviddouglas]

Thank you Joey, I had been so stuck on replaying the mistakes that led to my past relationships failing and learning to just accept them as they are in the past and moving forward has been huge for me! Thank you for your words ❤

[pedrohenriquemaciel]

I really felt that I was stuck in a cycle and moving on it’s not easy and getting out of that cycle is even harder but was the right thing
thank u joey ❤
