How to Let Go of Someone You Really Love

There comes a time in our life when love knocks into our heart and overpowers us with very strong feelings of affection and desire for another person. But what if no matter how strong our love is, that person decides to leave and the one you feel strongly for is not meant to be with you? It’s tough but it is possible to let go of someone you really love. The following are some suggestions what you can do:

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Things You’ll Need:

* Desire to move on

* Positive attitude

* Time

Step1

Do not resist the pain. When you are heartbroken, the first thing you want to do is run away from the pain and suppress it with self-destructive habits such as drinking alcohol, using drugs, etc. to numb the pain. But these do not really help. The only thing it does is keep the feelings buried inside yourself which will hurt you more in the long run. Address the situation by welcoming the hurt feelings as part of being human. It is hard to do this step especially when you feel so vulnerable, but it is the most important step of all to heal yourself. Once the purpose is done, the pain will leave and you will be free.

Step2

Swallow the truth. Constantly denying the fact that the person you love will stay just by your own sheer desire is blind thinking. The old saying, “The truth will set you free”, will always hold true. Make peace with yourself by acknowledging that the person you love cannot love you back and that is a fact you need to accept.

Step3

Make a firm decision to move on. In order to let go of someone you really love, you must take the first step to heal yourself. No other person can do that for you. If you really want to get over your lost love, stop yourself from dwelling in the past. Live in the present the best way you can and see yourself having a better future with someone who is really meant for you.

Step4

Get rid of the things that remind you of the other person. These include all the gifts, letters, pictures, and other things that you received from him/her. The more detached you are with the things that have something to do with the other person, the faster it is for you to let go.

Step5

Forgive the other person and yourself. In life, we take risks, and one of that is in the area of love. If you find yourself loving someone who cannot love you back, don’t punish yourself by holding on to the misery forever. Refrain from blaming and be forgiving. It’s not your fault that the love relationship didn’t work out. Sometimes things just don’t happen the way you want them to be. You still have better things in store for you.

Step6

Give yourself time to heal. The bible says there is always time for everything. Do not rush into letting go of someone you love because you are presently hurt and you want to get rid of the feeling right away. This causes more scarring. Instead, allow time to heal you. Depending on the depth of your feelings and your attachment, it could take months or even years. Once you have the desire and faith to really move on, the powers of the universe will help you achieve that goal.

Be patient and see the results in time.
