The idea is to let go, To accept where you are now and to move forward. Remember that, that person is your ex for a reason.

By accepting that your ex will always be a part of you. This is life, this is no Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind where we can pay someone to make us forget any memories of our exes. It’s okay to miss your ex. But it’s important to remember why the relationship ended. For many, that in itself provides some comfort. But don’t pretend they never existed. Remember how you grew from your experiences.

Keeping yourself busy, find a hobby, meet with friends, read a book, anything to keep you busy. Your missing the ex because what previous took up your time/thoughts is not longer there, something needs to fill the void.

Keep busy with your hobbies as much as you can, but if you find your thoughts wandering back to your ex, let them. It's natural. Over time, the pain will subside and things will be brighter.

I have recently gone through a tough breakup and I can admit that it is easily one of the hardest things that I have ever faced. But I believe that it is important you realise what happened was not your fault. My recommendation to stop missing your ex is to occupy yourself. Go out and do things that you love to do, go and try new experiences, meet new people. Try and share an emotional connection with someone because that way you know that there is someone out there to help you and that you are not alone.

Give yourself enough Time. Distract yourself with a new hobby or talk to other friends. Also you may want to stop talking to your ex. If you still want to remain friends at some point, tell this person that you need some distance.

It's going to be a different process for everyone, but I think the basics of it is to always stay positive. Look at what you enjoyed in the relationship, look for what you can take away from it and learn from it, and keep living your life as you did before the break up, Keep involved in your interests and hobbies and see your friends. Friends and family or coming to 7 Cups is always a great way to get your feelings out and just talk to someone. In my experience, it really helps to just talk to someone about what I am feeling.

Keep busy! Focus on doing the things you enjoy doing and that keep you occupied. Try new things. It's a temporary distraction but it does work. It helps you to distance yourself and focus on making yourself feel good and recreating yourself and your happiness without your ex. Look forward. :) Hope that helps!
