How to Let Go and Love Again After Being Hurt

Do you feel as if your whole world has been turned upside down? Are you worried that others will treat you the same way? If somebody has hurt you or broken your trust, then you may fear that it will always be like this. The reality, however, is that this doesn’t have to be the way that it always goes.

You may very well find that you can find happiness again with the right person. This may have been a good thing if you allow it to, and if you decide to adapt to a positive mindset. See for yourself just how you can turn this into a new and exciting chapter of your life—and here’s how!

1. Focus on living in the present moment

Getting hurt after you loved somebody can be devastating. Allow yourself time to cope with this and to handle the situation that transpired. Know that it happened and it hurt, but that you now need to live in the present day. Not everybody will act the way that your ex did, and that’s important to know.

After you give yourself a period of time to get through the hurt and to deal with that happened, then move forward and accept what the future may hold. Live in the present and see how much this improves your overall life.

2. Open yourself up to possibilities and embrace the positive

Being caught up in the negative aspects of the past can be quite exhausting. Don’t let it be that way, but rather make a choice. Decide that today is the day that you move forward with the rest of your life. Decide that you choose to be positive and let this new mindset help you to find love again.

You can’t find love again until you make a decision to open yourself up to love again. This truly is a choice and if you can focus on the future and embrace a positive mindset, then you are going to get so much more out of this in the long run.

3. See what’s in front of you and recognize the differences

You have to open your eyes to what lies in front of you. There may be something really great right before you that you are skipping right past. If you continue to worry about getting hurt again, then you might miss out on something really great.

Try to accept the hurt from the past and then turn it into a positive thing to fuel you moving forward. It can very well be the best thing that happened to you if you can let it go and find something really and truly wonderful that could be right in front of your eyes.

4. Learn from past mistakes and leave them there

The only surefire way to move forward with purpose in love is to learn from past mistakes. We all make them and we may not like it, but we need to learn from them in order to move forward with our lives. Think about what went wrong and what made you unhappy. Learn what you would like to do differently and then focus on the future by taking something from these mistakes.

Though the past mistakes lead to unhappiness or you getting burned, that doesn’t mean that they have to happen again. Leave the past in the past once you take your life lessons from them and then move onto a brighter and happier future!
