Healthy distractions
So my boyfriend and I decided to take a break to focus on our mental health. While on this break we aren’t going to see anyone else as to just focus on ourselves and come back together in September. However, my issue is I keep thinking about him and the month we’ll talk to each other again. I don’t want to hinder my growth but even while doing my self care plan I think about him and when we will be back together. Can anyone give me some tips as to not think about this as much and just focus on my growth?

It is hard to not think about him when you are actively trying to not think about him ... it is the same as when a speaker says "do not think of an elephant" .... that becomes all you do think of....
When working on yourself truly just you ... i try to find new friends not a romantic interest but new friends.... why... you may ask ...if you are telling a new person your stories of your life....... listen to your stories .... and find what would you like to improve on ..
For example I met a new friend about 6 months ago they have traveled a lot more then I have ....and so it has made me think ... why haven't i traveled ?.... that is something i would like to do more.... we speak of trying new foods or restaurants concerts or events attended .... I may see my world is a smaller circle then I realized.... i can bring home the ideas of new places for my and partner to try...
Not only are these distractions but when you DO meet up again you can share new things instead of the same old stuff ..... they might be impressed you tried new things and are not just sitting there counting the days.
