I'm so tired of living in the past?How do I stop living in the past?So that I can allow all of the good things and a really great guy into my life?

By realising the past while interesting is not nearly as exciting as today.

Find a nice present. Live that into a nice future.

In what way do you feel you are living in the past?

Do you have feelings of unrequited love, or from a relationship that you wish had not ended?

Whatever is troubling you, the only way forward is to look to the future, ask God for His guidance, and be positive.

Making plans for fun and interesting activities is the best plan of action, because then you are motivated to look forwards instead of backwards.

I definitly agree,as for the questions,none of the above,as for my last relationship,I thought he was the one,he always told me he wanted us to be together forever,when he really didn't want to be with me in the end.

Focus on what you desire and make it a habit.
There is a book: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
that may help.
