What is the best way to forget someone you love and think about everyday?

Speaking from experience. The best way to forget someone you love is to FOCUS ON YOU and to see the NEED to focus on you. And I mean focusing on being a better version of you.

**Try something new like learning to cook or dance. Do you feel bad that you can't cook or can't dance? Thank God for Youtube! That can change.

**Focus on your health, well-being and eat right. Exercise and keep that body healthy and strong.

**Also try to be really good at what you do and what you love to do. Then do so! So for e.g., I love to dance so I try to learn to do new dance moves to make me feel good in myself. So do things that boost your confidence and ego and hopefully you'll realize you are mad fun and that you are perfectly fine without that person.

**Finally, are you good at listening to and helping others? Don't refrain from helping and supporting others who have their problems because that also helps you to stop thinking about that person since you are focusing on someone else. ~LIFE IS SO MUCH MORE~

If you know of any ways please share with me your ideas, thank you very much.

@TaraIsMyName , you are so right. Going about our daily routine is also a good way to focus on ourselves and being mindful with our daily activities also helps to stay focus on ourselves.

Let yourself mourn for a while and take it easy but don't let yourself fall into the temptation of going back to the person, remember that it will be better after some time.

@Ladypearl Mouring helps to get over the person as well as it is a necessary step of the grieving process. Good point!

@TaraIsMyName Engage into different new activities. Find a hobby or a talent or an interest you didn't know you had earlier. Enagage into making new friends as hanging out with the old ones might make you remind of your ex. Join a voilent hobby class or club such as martial arts, shooting, self-defence or kick boxing. It would not only distarct you but let out a way to cleanse all your hurt or angry emotions.

There are many different ways that you can work on forgetting someone. Some of the few ways is maybe finding a new hobby or an activity that you really enjoy. Focusing on yourself and realizing why you're focusing on yourself is a great way to move on from someone. Surround yourself with your family and friends and realize why that's important.

I do 2 different things:

The first is a little cold. I make a list of all of the things that I did not like about our relationship or that person. In hindsight, we often focus on what we miss and the positive things. So, I try to reframe it and focus on the things that I won't miss - the things that I am glad to have gone.

2nd, I write this little mantra down and tape it to my bathroom mirror:

My heartache will no longer stay
The universe draws it all away
I am whole, I am free
I rid myself of that which harms me.

And every time I think of him, I say recite it.

In time, it does fade. It really does.

When there are intense emotions, I don't think you can ever really forget, but with time it gets easier and after the initial shock and grief, it gets ever easier to focus on things you love and you go about your business and look forward to life and people..

Forcing yourself to "enjoy" stuff right after the break up when all you want to do is die was never possible for me.

In time feelings and hurt subside, but they never really go away completely and that's OK. I wouldn't want to forget, neither good nor bad.

@PlacidWillow2017 I suppose things get better with time. The more you fore yourself to not think about it, the more you actually think about it. I guess we should go easy on ourselves, and realise that whatever be the way we act, it's all a part of the healing process and eventually, the process of moving on

@talktome610 Exactly! It's only natural to think about the one you loved (and lost) and to miss them, for as long as it takes for mind and body to heal. There's no shortcut through it...

you can't forget someone you love. The harder you try the more u seem to remember them... so it's best to learn to live with the memories until the memories decide to leave you alone
