How can I stop thinking about my ex?

I would recommend focusing your energy on other tasks. What are your hobbies? Is there anything that needs to get done? When you focus your thoughts elsewhere, you begin to think less about your ex.

The best way is to sit and evaluate why the person became the EX in the first place and the day you know that there would be nothing to think about regarding the ex unless you have grudges against them so just forgive and forget but do take the learning and experiences with you

Sometimes, we can't stop thinking about our ex. A healthy way to do it is to just take it in and let it pass on its own. Don't resent them, though. Think of the memories and thank them for the damage they did and use it to become stronger. It may sound strange, but it will help you grow higher in every day struggles.

I developed a stamp card. I would put a stamp on a piece of paper every time I wanted to call them, but didn't. Everytime I wanted to unblock their social media, but didn't. Everytime I thought of them and distracted myself. After a certain number of stamps, I would treat myself on a special kind of tea, a movie night with a friend and so on.

Well this is hard.It is better said than done.Only remedy is time.Yes,time heals everything is sooo true.Just focus on your life and let tha thoughts about your ex play in the background.Know this is part of moving on process and don't give importance to your thoughts.When you will fall in love again,his thoughts will automaticaly go.Till then,just focus on improbing yourself.Best luck.

I feel, either willingly or unwillingly, one has to come to terms with realising and accepting the reality under whatever the situation or circumstances, one becomes an EX. I agree that it is easy said than done, but I feel with proper mindset, thoughts, efforts and focus on things that are relatively more important in life and gives one happiness in our life, one can overcome thoughts about EX. If the break up is amicable and mutually respectful, the easier it is to cope up.

Its hard to move on and harder to make a decision to not to think anything about past. But nothing is impossible. Its all our mind which plays this little game with us for being sad and thinking about someone else. We need to stay firm in loving ourselves first, thats one thing we forget when we are heartbroken. By diverting our mind into making new friends or meeting old ones, having a hobby, going out and being social is the way we can stop our mind to think about ex. It's all in our mind and if we be firm with our decision to do something trust me we can. Try it.

You are an independent person, you were in love yes. But life will give you more happiness. Forget your past and move on. Try something new.

Find an outlet to keep your mind off of your ex, think positive and know you are strong on your own.

Based on my personal experience you can stop thinking about your ex by indulging yourself to other GOOD activities. Like learning a new hobby or improving more of your skills right now. Meet new friends, join religious organizations, helping other people or focusing on your studies. You can't instantly forget your ex it is a step by step procedure and it may take months. Crying all of the pain and sadness may help because after that you may just start a new life and realize that you must go on instead of staying in that case.
