Technique and Psychology
It is necessary to analyze yourself, your feelings, the problem that you are struggling with. If possible, put off the situation for a while and try to understand what worries you about it, which aspects cause the greatest concern. Moreover, no matter how old the problem is, if it is not solved, then the person will keep returning to it mentally, looking for a way out, analyzing, trying to understand. But in such a situation, it is difficult to perceive a clear direction for the future. Therefore, it is important to let go of some problems. The main thing is not to delay the decision, otherwise it will be even more difficult later. And in the present, in ordinary life, the burden of problems only makes it difficult to enjoy happiness and enjoy life.

In order to change your life for the better, you do not need much: you need a positive attitude, strong intentions, understanding of your goal.

Sometimes a person cannot let go of a situation, because he or she depends too much on external factors, problems feel very depressing, he or she cannot forgive certain mistakes, not realizing that these mistakes make up their life experience. Just a little effort is enough to figure it out. Let go of the past and turn towards a brighter future.  ​

Tips for letting go
​Often, and especially in relationships with loved ones, we react too emotionally to everything without hearing the other side and not noticing that problems can grow and build up, like a snowball. The more we want to argue, the more difficult it will seem to get out of it. Noticing and remembering all the details, a person is more angry and offended. And none of these leads to a correction of the situation. What should we do?

We need a lot of self-control and the ability to stop on time, otherwise a lot of unnecessary things will be said or done, which we will regret later. You need to try to understand the the other side, why they are hostile. Maybe this has nothing to do with you, and the person just feels bad, and you take it personally, and this gives rise to a difficult situation.

• The ability to forgive is an important and useful quality that allows you to let go of a difficult situation. However, one must forgive sincerely, with all his heart. Even if you cannot do it personally, you need to imagine the situation mentally and forgive the person in the soul. After that, a feeling of calmness and freedom will come.
• Ability to admit your mistakes. Sometimes, long-held beliefs spoil our lives and prevent us from assessing the situation. Sometimes it is worth departing from the old principles, it is easier to relate to people, then the attitude towards life will change. When we are going through break-up with a person, we need to understand that further existence is possible only without memories of that person. It is necessary to firmly decide to  end the relationship, without any possible “buts” and “ifs”. Do not constantly put up with the tragedy, but rethink your feelings and live a full life.

• Give vent to your emotions. The easiest way is to cry it all out, it allows the heavy emotions to go out, in simple terms, it allows you to get rid of the feelings and not to experience them anymore.​

• Do not idealize your former relationship. It is worth remembering all of the shortcomings of the previous relationships, all arguments, in order to understand they were imperfect. 
• Get rid of things that remind you of a relationship. Throw them away without regret. We need to look for reasons for joy, and not to harbor the reasons for tears and sadness.

In the case of unrequited love, it is necessary not to lose self-esteem, self-confidence, it is important to understand that if a person does not treat us as we deserve, then they are simply not the person you need, and forcing them to be “there” will fail. You can’t force love, but you can let go of this person and your feelings for him or her, and this is the most correct and reasonable decision you can make. Love yourself, enjoy life, and everything will turn out good for you!
