A good relationship book is called 5 Love Languages. Not sure if you have a coping skills tool box created but it might be something to consider. I also try to do at least 3 pleasant activities a week.

If you want to stop missing your ex, put some distance between you two. Try to get rid of anything that reminds you of your ex. If you follow your ex on social media, you can unfriend or unfollow your ex so you will not get reminded of your ex and you will not have to see pictures of your ex being with someone else. Occupy your mind with other things asides thinking about your ex. Breakups are very hard and it can take some time to get over your ex. Remember that time heals all wounds.

You don’t. It will happen regardless, especially if the breakup was recent. Missing someone is part of the healing process, but if you truly do not wish to miss that person, then allow yourself to be distracted with positive activities.

These things take time, it's not easy. What you need to remember is youre better than them and you deserve better. Do things that make you happy, distract yourself. Hang out with family and friends. Let them know what theyre missing out on

I would focus on concentrating my energy on something else. Catch up with friends, pick up a new hobby or go to that movie you always wanted to see. Realise that there was a life before him and there will be a life after him. I would also try to not keep reminders of the relationship around, as these can be triggering and distracting. Store them away in a box and storage it somewhere where it isn’t easily accessible. This will prevent your mind from preventing you from moving forward.

There is always going to be a reason or multiple reasons that the relationship ended, and that’s something to pinpoint. If there is a reason you are missing them, there are also different factors as to why the relationship ended, and to try and hash out which feelings are which, you can try and make a pro/con list of the relationship. It’s also definitely important to try and give yourself space while you move on, as the more time you spend with them, the more you might be prone to thinking about them. In the end, the relationship ended for a reason, and it’s totally okay to miss your ex for a while, but it’s also important to try and look towards a future :)

In my experience, I've found that the best way to get over a person is to find someone else, a rebound as some may call it. There may be a part of you that will always miss your ex, but finding someone else, even temporarily, is a good first step in trying to move on with life. I understand that it can be difficult sometimes. In the experience of Romeo from one of Shakespeare's famous plays, he just found that he couldn't stop himself from wanting to be with Juliet. This may not have been the best reference due to the end, but it's meant to show that getting over someone can be hard. But, with slow steps, you can still do it.

You stop missing your ex when you're ready to. No one can give you a time limit because every heart is different. Every love is different. Keep living your life no matter how hard it feels to go about your daily routines without them. Avoid the places that would remind you of them. Your heart will know when its ready to take the first step. You won't stop right away. It takes baby steps to get to the point where you forget about the person. Just take it one day at a time. One step at a time, one day at a time.

It’s quite hard to force yourself to not miss him or her anymore. You should just give yourself some time and freedom to do the things you really like. For example, hang out with your friends, listen to your favorite music, go on parties or take a walk through the nature. At first, you’ll think about your ex a lot while doing this, but just try to concentrate on other things. It may sound hard, but don’t look at photos of him/her, don’t write him/her messages and don’t call. Maybe all you need is some distance. Although it’ll hurt and missing will only get worse, don’t give up. I’m sure it’ll geh better soon.
