From Heartbreak to Healing: 7 Steps to Move On After a Breakup

Alright, so you've been feeling stuck on someone for what feels like forever. Maybe it was her laugh, the way she looked at you, or just the idea of what you thought you two could’ve had together. But hanging onto someone who’s not around anymore? That’s not where you want to be. It's time to move on. And trust me, the future is brighter than it feels right now. Let’s walk through this—step by step—with some encouragement and maybe even a laugh or two. You ready? Let’s go!

Step 1: Switch Up That Phone Wallpaper

Your phone is practically glued to your hand. Right now, it might show a random nature scene or, worse, something that reminds you of her. Let’s change that today. Find a quote that lights a fire in you—something like “You’re stronger than you think” or “Better days are ahead.” A simple screen change can boost your mindset. Every time you unlock your phone, you’ll get a gentle reminder that you’re focusing on YOU now.

Step 2: Curate Your Ultimate “Moving On” Playlist

Music is powerful. If your playlist is filled with slow, sad songs that keep you feeling down, it’s time to flip the script! Curate a "moving on" playlist full of upbeat songs that pump you up and get you excited about the future. Think of it as your personal soundtrack to leveling up. A great playlist can make everything—whether you’re stuck in traffic or working out—a little brighter. Too much effort we found one to start.

Step 3: Say Yes to New Adventures

Maybe you spent too much time thinking about her and her life. Now, it’s time to focus on YOU. What have you always wanted to try? Rock climbing, learning a new instrument, or maybe baking the perfect sourdough? When you dive into new hobbies, you shift your focus to personal growth. Plus, new hobbies often lead to new people—friends who have zero association with your past. It’s a win-win.

Step 4: Unfollow, Mute, or Block (Seriously, Do It)

If you’re still checking her Instagram—her latest post with the new haircut or night out with friends—that's keeping you from moving on. Unfollow, mute, or, if you’re feeling brave, block her. It might feel harsh, but "out of sight, out of mind" really does work.

Step 5: Lean on Your Ride-Or-Dies

When you’re going through heartbreak, your friends can be a lifeboat. They’re probably just waiting to help you get out of your head and back to having a good time. So, call them up! Plan a night out, organize a beach day, or just binge a new series together. Surrounding yourself with the people who care about you reminds you that life is so much more than one relationship.

Step 6: Journal It Out

This might sound unconventional, but writing things down really helps. Grab a journal (or even your phone’s notes app) and let out everything you’re feeling. What did this experience teach you? What do you want in the future? Journaling is like having a heart-to-heart with yourself, and it’s freeing.

Step 7: Picture Your Future Self—And Go Get Him

It's time to stop looking backward and start moving forward. Picture yourself six months from now—stronger, happier, and completely over this. What’s he doing? Where’s he going? Picture that guy, and then make choices today that help you become him.

Final Thoughts: You’ve Got This

Moving on takes time, but it also takes intention. You’re not going to wake up one day and feel 100% over her—but you’ll feel lighter with every step forward. Remember: you’re not stuck; you’re growing. Focus on yourself, and you’ll realize that life has so much more to offer than one relationship.
