How can I stop thinking about my ex?

It is a cliche but finding yourself a hobby to distract you would help a lot It can be challenging at first however once you feel the relief of setting your mind free it’ll get easier and easier

care for yourself. Hobbies, eating healthy and getting enough sleep will make you feel much better.

It really is just 'time', that old cliche. It takes time to get over someone, but you can certainly take steps towards this, by building up your life with more social activities, joining a group, finding things to focus on, learning to be happy with yourself and working on you. Take yourself out on a date, make sure you have good friendships around you and eventually over time things will heal. They are your ex for a reason.

Get a new one! Surely speaking , going any other thing to indulge yourself will not work , so instead go try out on a new girl/boy. This will keep you busy and you will find a beautiful/handsome reason to forget your ex

You can't stop thinking about your ex at the first stage, your mind will play and replay the memories, at anytime of the day, or night, your mind will keep replaying that first time, that last time, and whats' in between. The best thing to do is be aware of it, to allow it to surface, then to release it with breath, with carrying on with your everyday activities, or trying as hard you can not to let it halt you. But, in case you need to slow down, do it. In case you need to cry, do it. Reach out to a friend, a family member, a listener right here, do it, you're not alone in this. Break-ups are hard experiences, and they always teach us about ourselves, what we are made of, how we love, what we love, and also about connecting to others, the boundaries, the trust, the intimacy. Try to observe, take notes, create something out of the misery of a break-up. You're going to be alright :)

It's okay we all think about our exes at some point of life but thinking about them more can cause distress to ourselves. To avoid these negative thoughts we can fill some productive or better thoughts in our mind. We can replace past negative thoughts with better ones. We cannot stop our brain from thinking however we can replace thoughts. You can do that by many ways such as opting for a hobby, be with people whom you like. If you keep your brain busy in other things then it will not think about your past or your Ex. Hope it helps. Best of luck!

Speaking from personal experience. The best thing I found was to keep busy! Especially doing hobbies, seeing friends and family, and finding new things that you enjoy! The more time you spend doing other things, you’re not able to concentrate on an ex as you have less time to. Your mind will be occupied doing other things :).

Think about why you left your ex, if it’s a bad reason then try to realize that you left them for a reason and then it’s not good for you to be hung up on them.

The best way is by hanging out with your friends meeting new people just doing new things and experience life with your ex

Not thinking of your ex can be challenging. Maybe not "stopping" but just let those thoughts flow through. Don't judge them or push them aside. Over time those feelings/thoughts will lesson.
