How can I stop thinking about my ex?

The main thing that should be addressed first is, what kind of thoughts are you having about your ex? Positive good memories, or negative and bad ones? The most common reason people get back together, is because they seem to only think of the good times after a break up. They focus on how great that person is, instead of remembering all the bad and issues that were recently happening. One way to help the thought of that person lessen, is to realistically remember why it ended. Whether it was you or them, someone isn’t happy which means the other more than likely wouldn’t be either. Keeping busy is the second best way to distract the mind from thinking about an ex. Surrounding yourself with family and friends, doing the things you enjoy, exercising, and maybe even finding a new hobby.

In my personal experience, it helps to cry about it for the first day. Then do whatever makes you happy. Video games, hanging with friends, bowling, etc... Go out there you define yourself that ex wont make you a better person, cooler, popular, etc... What makes you is you nothing more nothing less. So if your ex can't see how amazing you are then they don't deserve you go find someone who will love you for you and won't care about your imperfections. You are amazing you can do anything if you put your mind to it you don't need your ex to be you. You are you. They will never define who you are.

I must admit I really had a rough time to getting over my ex too. First of all you need to Understand the reason why you two broke up. Try to analise your relationship. Why did things go that way? Was he/she the right one? Once you understand the reason and your mistakes,try to ask yourself why do you actually think that it is so difficult to get over them? Why do you still think about him/her? What do you miss? What did they offer you? Sometimes you just miss the idea of the person. Relationships are a part of our daily life and once we break up.. well we start feeling like something is missing. And that‘s alright. Take your time, it‘s okay to think about people who once were special to you and who you once loved. Allow this to yourself. Give yourself the time you need. BUT don‘t forget to concentrate on yourself too. Keep yourself busy with the things you love. It will get better, I promise :)

Breakups are very very difficult. I’ve been through a few myself. The best way, I’ve learned myself, is to cut them out of your life. Whether you’re friends or not, if you cannot get over someone it is not healthy to continue talking to them and hurting yourself. Give yourself space and time to heal, try to engage in activities that distract you and spend time with the people who truly truly care. Just these small steps can help you move on. Another way is trying to find new love, or realising the was you’ve been wronged (if you have) by your ex.

Hey, I get that they can be hard to get over. Everyone's a little different, sure, but I can tell you what works for a lot of people (myself included!) Look on the dark side. Remember how much of a jerk they were, or at least, what made you split up. Think of their worst moments. Do this for a little while, and, I promise, in no time, you'll be forgetting about that person.

Sometimes you can't, and my advice is to let the thoughts play out. Let yourself process and purge until you do not need the thoughts about your ex anymore. You might find yourself at first being incredibly sad or enraged and have thoughts of hurting yourself or your ex. It is important not to act on the thoughts, but let yourself have them so you can feel in your body what they do to you. When you have had enough of that feeling your mind and body will let you know. In time, and it might take a long time, your thoughts will change, your heart will mend, the days will get sunnier. And soon enough, you will not even think about your ex at all, and it will shock and surprise you!

By implementing this thing. See, first of all, understand this fact this that you'll think about your ex. We think about lot different people all our day. We think about our roommate, mother, friends, that uber driver etc. We don't pay attention to it. But as soon as thought of ex comes up, we just lose our control. Why? Because we are giving this our attention. Why Deepak Kalal is so famous even having stuffs like that on internet? Because we give it our attention. This is how our mind works. Don't try stop thinking about it, try to not giving attention to it. Try to not prioritise it. It's not gonna lower over night. It'll take time. 2 months. 6 month. May be a year. But your consistency will show you the results. Some triggers can also happen. Like some song or like that. Just tell yourself it's ok to feel bad. It's ok to feel like cry. You were broken and so the pain exists. But it'll heal. It depends on how you'll cure your wound. Try to take a break from lovs songs. Try to keep away all the things which remind you of all that. And one day, that won't affect you anymore i promise. Just tell yourself its not gonna happen overnight. It'll take time. All the best!

A good way of doing this is investing time into a hobby. Sports, drawing, dancing, whatever you enjoy doing. Now that you aren’t in a relationship, you have much more time on your hands that could be used to do other things you enjoy. I would also suggest hanging out with friends. Friendships can help distract you from your ex until you’ve moved on from them. Block, unfollow, or soft block your ex from any social media so you can distance yourself from them. You may want to remain friends later, but now you need space to recover. You should avoid contact with your ex until you’ve moved on.

Do things to distract yourself. For example, hang out with friends, go out and do something, have fun. basically anything that distracts you from thinking about your ex but before all that, its important to face your emotions. Facing your emotions will allow you to properly heal from the situation and move on from it. I can't stress enough how important it is to talk about how you feel and address your emotions for a proper recovery. Once you fully heal you will not need distractions to stop you from thinking about your ex. It takes time but it is very possible, just remember to focus on your goals because everyone deserves to prosper!

Acknowledging that you miss your ex will be a good start. Plan your day with activities that may not be something you used to do with your ex but things you always wanted to do. Make a list. Start with simple goals that are realistic and doable. Set the time and day you want to do it. I would normally plan a day or two in advance. That way, I am keen to do it. For example, if you plan to exercise, get your gears ready the night before. If there are setbacks, don't beat yourself up. It's ok. You can try again the next day. That will be a good start.
