Having a difficult time letting go of a past relationship? Holding on to the past does not make sense when a better future awaits you if and when you are willing to moving forward!

If you are the type that views your past relationships as lost dreams then chances are you are not committed to moving on to bigger and better things, or do you see past failed relationships as steps to moving forward? Many times singles can’t get over their painful past and tend to see each relationship that failed as a total failure of their love life. But when you are holding on to your past to tightly that can prevent you from moving forward to a better relationship and love life, if you find that you often think too much of the past instead of looking forward, consider these helpful ideas:

Remember the all the headaches and hassles your ex caused you-

So many people look at their past relationships and think to much about the good times they had and overlook all the problems that their ex boyfriend or girlfriend caused during their relationship, being able to accept that there will be always positives and negatives to any relationship will help you keep things in perspective and help you to let go of the past that had more negative experiences than positive easier.

You must identify the things that went wrong and learn from them to help future relationships-

What things did you uncover that was a factor in causing your relationship to go sour, no matter how big or small they were, identify them and remember them to help you avoid the same trouble in your next relationship. Ask yourself if you are stronger or more relationship wiser than before? If you can learn from the good things and bad ones and then adapt to changes that need to be made it will make you a much better dating partner the next time around and increase your chance of developing a long term successful relationship. Unfortunately, we do not always get to choose how our relationship will end, but we do get to choose how we are going to put them into perspective and take the positives from them and move forward into something better. Stay focused on finding and building a happy and loving relationship, and importantly not losing sight that the "special one" is still out there waiting for you.
