Have you just been through a painful breakup? Are you having a hard time moving on after a breakup cause you can't get your ex out of your mind? You've tried to put your life back together, but nothing seems to be working right now.

I realize it may not be just a small comfort, but most people experience a breakup at minimum one time in their lives, and almost everyone finds moving on after a breakup to be a nearly impossible task. You have a myriad on emotions going through your mind and often you don't even know what day it is.

While in the process of moving on after a breakup, we try many different things-all in hopes of getting back together with our lost love. Some of us keep in touch with our ex, hoping that they will change their mind and come back. Others go overboard and literally beg their ex to come back.

Of course, we only end up feeling worse, cause this kind of stuff rarely takes away the pain. In fact, what normally happens if we maintain regular contact with our ex is that we end up continually opening up the wounds that have been inflicted from the relationship and subsequent breakup. It's like constantly tearing open a scab and never allowing it to completely heal.

No, when we keep calling our ex, we are going about moving on after a breakup in the wrong way. So, what is the right way to move forward after a painful breakup? It's simple, yet sometimes very difficult; We need a clean break from our ex!

I'm talking no calls, texts, or seeing your ex UNTIL you have allowed yourself time to heal. Sometimes, circumstances dictate that you must see your ex, like if you work together or whatever. In that case, just be civil, but don't get into any deep or meaningful conversation with them. Just keep it to surface talk.

So, you might be asking "when would be a good time to re-establish contact with my ex?" Well, the answer is different for everybody. In most cases, 30 days is enough time to get a clean break and heal your wounds. If in doubt, go a little longer. Now, what do you do with all your free time apart from your ex? Get your mind together-work through all your feelings and thoughts surrounding your ex and the break up. Also, look at things you could do to improve yourself.

The final and most important key to moving on after a breakup is to decide right now that you are going to forgive your ex for all the things they did to hurt you. After you make this decision, you will find coping with the break up and moving on to be a lot less difficult task.
