How can I stop thinking about my ex?

I made a list of the reasons why we broke up, (things I didn't like, why we weren't compatible, things that hurt me) and countered it with things I deserve: respect, honesty, loyalty. This way you are reminded why the relationship did not work and move forward.

You surround yourself with positive atmospheres. Constantly thinking about your ex is a habit that needs to be broken. Try to find healthy outlets that will not only distract you from these thoughts but also give you a chance to find out what can actually help you if you're ever feeling like this again or upset in the future!

Keep yourself busy!! Take up a new hobby, try something you wouldn't, surround yourself with people that make you happy. Sometimes talking to someone or writing about your feelings can really help :)

Sometimes, you just need to erase the messages, delete the number and move on. You don’t have to forget who that person was to you: You just have to accept that… they aren’t that person anymore.

Well, honestly no matter what you do what you say to convince yourself to stop thinking about your ex partner, you may not ever forget about them. It may not be meant for you to forget about them if that even makes sense. Sometimes you just have to let he/she come off of your mind naturally. You probably won't ever permanently erase them from your memory. I can tell you to moveon, but that doesn't mean that you will do it. It doesn't work like that. I can tell you let go and I can tell you how I would try to forget about your ex, but it's all about what's in your heart and what you're willing to do. If you know and feel that you can't moveon from this person and people don't understand where you're coming from with the situation or why you still feel for this person, it doesn't matter. If you accept your feelings then it becomes ok I feel like, regardless of what the ex thinks. One thing that I have learned in all my years of living is that you can't tell someone how to feel. All of you that are having issues with this I wish you Luck!! :)

First delete all the pictures, text, emails, social media accounts. Second, ask your friends not to talk to you about him anymore. Finally, write down all the things that he was bad at :) and keep revisiting that list. Take your time and do not rush the process!!

The truth is it's different for everyone. It all depends. Some people find it comforting to surround themselves with family and friends- who can provide the distraction of fun and emotional support you might be needing. Others might prefer to clean out everything and anything that relates to their ex. (pictures, sweaters, etc.) Make sure to think about it thoroughly before throwing anything out. Some people just need time to move on, and that's perfectly fine too.

Try keeping yourself busy by doing hobbies you enjoy. Or go out with friends to forget about things.

Take however long you need to move on, and talk to someone you trust about what happened and how you feel

Always remember on why this person is your ex in the 1st place and where you stand in his life. Figure if its worth your time and effort to think about him/her.
