move on
Stop dwelling there
Move on means to leave a place or situation and proceed elsewhere: The police told the crowd to move on.
More often it means to stop dwelling on something and advance emotionally or practically: It's been a year since the breakup—time to move on.
You can also move on to a new topic, phase, or chapter: Let's move on to the next agenda item.
