Breakups can be difficult for anyone. It can be painful and leave us emotionally scarred for a longtime if you don't know how to move on for the better. Get into the right mind frame by moving forward with these 6 great tips to start a new year for you!

Be true to yourself

It's hard to not feel hurt or angry if he or she broke up with you, but remember back. There were probably signs your relationship was heading towards the end. Be honest about the relationship and you might see that a breakup was inevitable. If he or she chose to be single instead of working out problems, it's a sign that you deserve someone who is on the same page as you. Slowly but surely, letting go will become easier.

Get rid of anything that screams "the ex"

You have to get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex. This is an important step to move forward. Get rid of his or her stuff in your house, car and the internet. This includes framed photos and deleting them off your Facebook page. Remember, out of sight is out of mind. Do this for yourself.

Steer clear of places the ex goes to

If you want to move on, don't make plans to hang out at his or her favorite local pub or internet website. It's just setting you up emotionally if they are there. Find new places to hang out with friends. Leave the past behind. It's a new year with new possibilities. You never know who you might meet at a new place.

Get excited about something new

When we're in a relationship, it's easy to become preoccupied with your partner's interests or hobbies. Get excited about something new that you've wanted to always try but your ex didn't want to. This could be Latin dancing to ice fishing. Fill up your calendar with new classes or workshops.

Try on a new wardrobe and hairstyle

Ring in the New Year with a new hairstyle and fashion statement. Maybe you've always wanted to go red but your ex doesn't like redheads. You can do whatever you want now. Take a chance and start trying on clothes you normally wouldn't wear. It might be surprising what you discover. This is not only for the gals. Guys, this might be a good time to try out a new barber and men's store for a new look.

Build up the confidence power

When someone breaks up with you, it can knock you down. It's normal to go through the emotions but don't let it last too long. Look at the positive side of being single once again! Build up your confidence by ringing in the New Year with a new outlook on life.
