How can I stop thinking about my ex?

Occupy your mind with different things! Focus on things that make you happy, weather it be watching movies, hitting the gym! Take this time to put yourself first and figure out what you want from your life and focus on learning to love yourself!

Allow yourself to dwell on it, then move on to something more interesting. Pick up a new hobby, work on yourself and meet a lot of new people. The more interesting things going on your life, the less you'll think about your ex because they'll be boring/irrelevant in comparison. Create a life that is better than a life with your ex in it and that will help you move on.

Personally, it took me a long time to get over my ex but i found that going out with friends was the way froward; you know they care and you can rely on them so spending time with them takes your attention away from the past.

You can't. No amount of distraction, or no advice will make you stop thinking of someone you love(d). But in my experience, if you can love once, you can certainly love again. Sometimes it feels impossible. Sometimes it feels impossible that you could ever imagine a life without them. But here's the thing. There's a reason everyone suggests you distract yourself through work, or hobbies. Because breaking up with someone is quite literally that. It breaks you. And you can't fall in love again if you're broken, or there's a part of you that's missing. So you need to spend some time putting yourself together again. And remind yourself what you really are like. And I'm copying this line from a TV show, but it's been true in my life. This person will probably be the first thing on your mind every day, till one day, they will be the second.

Letting an old relationship go is not always that easy. Only time can heal all the pain and wash away the feelings one has for their past relatioship.

Keep yourself occupied but give yourself time to heal from the relationship. Keeping your mind busy helps with not thinking about your ex.

Think about yourself instead! Its hard to have a healthy relationship with someone else when you don't have one with yourself! Create goals, experiment, find your passions and start to create a life you love. When you do the more things that make YOU happy, you have a better chance of finding someone with similar life goals and values.

Just 4 months ago, I broke up with an ex... But now I'm feeling better and over her. I still think about her she's just now just someone i used to date. I got over her by doing the things I love to do and do it alone. Hanging out with friends is also a good idea and taking walks or just the fresh air itself can help. No use being cooped up at home crying over someone eh? :)

Try not to do anything too irrational, for example, try getting some closure. Talk to him or her, start with a clean slate and then wipe your mind from him. Put all of his things away or give them back to him, put away everything he gave you. Go for a vacation, calm and cleanse your mind and he or she will automatically be out of your mind without you even realising.

I would recommend blocking contact with them, well you don't need to block them but stop checking their social media profiles, get rid of their phone number etc. It's find if you and your ex want to be friends but it can be painful at first, if you experience this just tell them that you need time to heal, they will understand. Distract yourself, what I mean by that is do things you have always wanted to do but never have, go out more, enjoy yourself, meet new people, it will get better.
