How can I stop thinking about my ex?

This question involves two elements. One is the urge to go back which is the reason we keep thinking about them, and the other is regret that arises from negative experience which makes us want to escape the thoughts relating to them. Thinking of what you have experienced with your ex as a memory to cherish and a lesson to learn will contribute to your perspective of the issue. Your ex was also a normal human being, and there were down sides to the relationship which caused your paths to separate. After a breakup, we tend to focus on the good things we have lost, but couldn't that also be a way that leads to better things by leaving negative things behind? We all have a lot to see, and obviously there is not only one person that we will love. Cherishing the moments that happened and looking forward with the things you have learned from that experience is the best way you can benefit from the past and add meaning to the present.

I understand break ups are difficult and you must be going through a lot of emotional turmoil right now. Breaking up is almost like going through the same steps of the loss of a loved one. You are going to process grief, anger, confusion, guilt, and acceptance. Right now it might be difficult to stop thinking about your ex because they were an integral part of your routine and now they are not. It will require a period of time of feeling uncomfortable while you adapt to them not being around always, but with time, know it will get easier. You can remember the good times and be grateful for having them and all the growth you experienced together, that is absolutely normal. Try to reflect on lessons learned and be honest when identifying why things did not work out. Being able to stop thinking about them will not happen instantly, but again, as time progresses, it will become less and also become more manageable to allow the thoughts to pass without the emotional pull. Try to maintain a routine, good nutrition and get enough rest. Find a wonderful playlist that makes you feel happy, that’s the important factor in music- listen to uplifting music to feel better.

Everyone is different. u might wanna have one night stand or maybe have a girls/boys night out. or just hang oyt with your friends. it wont happen in a minute but someday ur gonna wake up and realise that u dont think about that person everyday. Sometimes big change in ur life might be really helpful. new haircut, change ur style, move, have new friends, change ur routine. anytihing really. but if you just try to change it. that wont happen. since usually getting out of the bed and doing things and having fun is biggest part of getting someone out of ur mind.

To stop thinking about your ex, I suggest reminding yourself everyday that your world does not revolve around him or her. If the both of you were meant to be, then the universe itself will find its way for the both of you. If not, then that’s okay :) As cliche as it sounds, everything in life happens for a reason. You never know that there is someone out there who the universe wants you to meet someday. You can also try surrounding yourself with a circle of good friends with positive vibes. This will help you distract yourself from thinking about him or her, until eventually you find yourself not thinking about your ex anymore.

You can’t just stop thinking about an ex, especially if they meant a significant amount to you. It won’t be like magic, you won’t be able to wake up one day and be okay, believe me if it were that easy everyone would be much happier. One day your going to get up and realize you don’t need them anymore, maybe at one time they helped you through a difficult time in your life but you’ve both grown now, and maybe you’ve helped each other grow as much as you can. You’ll wake up one day and be happy that they were in your life, you won’t regret it, they made you who you are today and that’s something you never could have done alone.

This is a good question that we ask our self a lot on points on life but u have to understand first that if u really wanna move on u must out go first before everything u must let this person go AMD understand that sometimes things aren't meant to be for both of y'all together I know it hurts I know u still care but sweetie it gets better trust me it does and now don't focus on finding someone focus on being u on getting yourself together on getting yourself some fresh air cut or on cleaning your room ect focus on u and when u do then your gonna realize that u don't need no one that's when your gonna stop thinking about your ex

A great way to stop thinking about your ex is to distract yourself with things that make you happy. Try out new hobbies, join a group in school or out of school. Do things you did before your relationship that made you happy. Go to the beach and watch the sunset, do yoga, take on things that will relax you. Hang out with friends and family that make you happy and feel loved. If you start surrounding yourself with people who make you feel loved you’ll start to grow and realize you don’t need your ex to be happy or need them. You’ll realize you only need yourself.

A breakup can be a very painful thing to face in life. But the things are gone is gone. Firstly you should convince your mind and explain to that he or she is no more there and should be ready to get over this.always remind yourself that you deserve much much better. Remind youself that person is the one at lost but not you because , you lost someone who doesn't love you or Care for you and that's why left you but, that person lost someone who loved him or her truly and really cared and therefore he or she is the one at lost. get rid of each and everything that keeps you reminded of him or her and make yourself busy for sometime and if you get reminded of him at that time delay that feeling. don't hate him or her beacuse then you'll be reminded of them back again. Let things go. Be busy with your life.set goals and strive hard to achieve them. Treat yourself well (like go shopping buy things and even party with your friends). Tell your friends not to remind you of your past . And you'll get over things. Always be happy dear. Believe me "you deserve better ".

Living in the past is like always looking in the rear view mirror. You never get to see the beauty of what is in front of you. Use your past relationship as a learning experience. It can teach you what you want and what you don’t want in your next one. Get back to knowing yourself and nurturing yourself. Get back to knowing who and what you are as an individual and continue to foster its growth. Take the time to begin focusing on yourself again. The ending of a relationship is a loss and it will require structure, routine, and processing that loss to heal.

I always say this, the thing you resist, it persists. So, do not resist the thought of anything but think about it once and for all. Go to the roots of the thought, and explore all horizons. And then, you never need to "stop" thinking about anything, the thoughts will just go away. Given this, its also important to keep yourself busy. Empty mind is devil's playground, right? So, find something healthy to do, go for a walk, pursue a hobby, cook, game, spend some time with family, maybe work extra hours. Feed you brain some new thoughts. To dwell in past can be addictive, make an effort to refrain yourself from doing it.
