If you assume that you cannot get better than the person who left you;
Let me tell you, that’s not true.
Romanticizing the person even further and dwelling on the good times will only make it harder and more painful to deal with the reality.
2️⃣Stop Overthinking Your Mistakes2️⃣
It’s normal to make mistakes, after all we’re humans.
You might have identified them & perhaps need to learn from them.
But once you’ve identified what your mistakes were, going over them again and again will only make you feel worse.
3️⃣Avoid Negative Self Talk3️⃣
You might be questioning your self- worth.
Understand that the person left you not because of you, but because of itself.
Be as compassionate toward yourself as you would be to a friend whose heart had just been broken.
4️⃣Do Things You Love4️⃣
You might feel like laying whole day & do nothing.
That’s normal.
It’s okay to grieve but don’t overdo it.
Do things you love to break the monotony of your life.
It will help reconnect you to your core self and the person you were before the breakup.
5️⃣Do Not Keep Painful Reminders5️⃣
You obviously have certain things that remind you of that person.
There’s no relevance in keeping them close.
It may prevent you from moving on so it’s best to remove them from your life.
6️⃣Do Not Avoid New Romantic Opportunities6️⃣
Give yourself time to grieve & when it’s done, don’t avoid new people.
Give yourself a reasonable deadline and then get "back in the game" once that amount of time has passed.
It’ll help you in getting over them
7️⃣Avoid Withdrawal From Loved Ones7️⃣
After break-up, the instinct of withdrawal is common.
By avoiding the people who love and value you, you are depriving yourself of their caring, love, and concern, which are important for your self-esteem and recovery.
1. Stop idealising the individual 2. Stop overthinking your mistakes 3. Avoid negative self-talk 4. Do things you love 5. Do not keep painful reminders 6. Do not avoid new romantic opportunities 7. Avoid withdrawal from loved ones.

First let me answer your question, “What the hell is Positive Psychology?”
This relatively new branch of psychology is centered on helping people become happier.
Positive Psychology focuses on how to help humans prosper & lead healthy, happy lives.
“Positive psychology takes you through the countryside of pleasure and gratification, up into the high country of strength and virtue, and finally to the peaks of lasting fulfillment, meaning and purpose.”
