Unfortunately, there is no button that you can push it. You need to work with yourself. You need to see clear of what you want, of what you need, of what you deserve. Focus on you and love yourself. Spend your time with things that you like to do. There are a lot of things which can do alone or with your friends. Find a reason to wake up in the mornings and do what you really enjoy to do. I know that at first, it may be difficult and you have to push yourself, but after a few days, you start to use it and you really enjoy it. Nothing stays forever. Create new positive thoughts and you will see that you will not have space for something negative in your life.

Remind yourself of why the relationship had to come to an end. Surround yourself with a positive group of friends and a genius support team. Your support team can be the listeners here at 7 cups or you could have your own circle at school or maybe at work. Remind yourself that emotions won’t go away overnight. If you’ve loved a person, you’re not going to just stop feeling that same love for them instantly. Give it time. Distance yourself from them. Distance communication with them, distance their social media accounts so you’re not constantly checking in. Find a hobby to put that same energy into.

I would say what has worked for me is allowing myself to grieve the loss of the relationship as much as I need to for as long as I need to. Only once I've been able to truly sit with my own sadness and grief have I been able to pull myself out of the darkness and begin moving on. Sometimes it takes a lot more time than I want it to, but in the end my brain and body know what they need. At the same time, there are certain days/times when we can't be a giant ball of snot and tears, so for those days I try to distract myself with something uplifting or with self-care and remind myself "we can come back to feeling sad and grieving this loss later, when the time is right." I hope this helps!

Missing an ex takes time and mindfulness. Taking time to realize that your not the only one going through this will help you to not feel alone. Trying new things and reaching out to others going through the same thing can open opportunities that you may not have realized before. And always stay in contact with loved ones (family and friends alike) to remind you that you are loved and important. If you dont feel you have people to reach out to, there are plenty of people in the world willing to listen and help. This world isn't dark and it's full of love. Please go out there and find that love.

Focus on yourself. Try doing something new, something you've always wanted to try. Or maybe go back to doing something you did before you met them and stopped doing. Whatever you do it's important to not give up on yourself. It will be hard, and it will take time. It's okay to be sad, but if you give in to the sadness and give up on yourself, it will not get any better. Remember them, remember the good times, and even use it as motivation to find someone new, to find love again. You just have to give yourself time, and not give up on yourself, because someone else will see how amazing you are.

It takes time to stop missing an ex, you have to be very patient. It hurts a lot but over time you will heal and you will slowly stop missing them. For me, it really helps to distance myself from them as much as possible. For example I would start by removing them from social media so that I am not constantly reminded of them, and this gives me more space to move on. Also, it helps to get rid of things you own that remind you of them, like photos you have of them, or stuff they gave you. This means you're not constantly being reminded of them. But again, time is going to heal the most and although it may take a while, eventually you will stop missing them.

Don't sulk in your relationship, but also don't push it away. Spend time doing stuff you enjoy with your friends to get your mind off of your ex. By talking to people close to you you'll be reminded that you have a support system and you have people that care about you. Don't push those memories away though; think what about the relationship you liked and didn't like. That way you can grow, identify what might've gone wrong, and be more aware of it for the next relationship. Relationships are all about learning and trying new things, and so carry that through even when the relationship ends.

Well, missing a person who already has decided to end their relationship with you is not good. It is often painful to think about the past when you were happy with that person and wishing to go back to that time. People who miss their ex often blame their break up on themselves. They might think, ‘Would I be still with him/her if I didn’t do ... or say ... then?’, and this is not okay, especially when your break up was on the ex. Even if you miss your ex right now, time will heal you. You will soon get over him/her, so keep living your life!

Appreciate yourself. People miss their exes because of how they made them feel, or the value, love, or laughter they feel they added to their lives.
Once someone learns to appreciate themselves on that same level, that feeling of dependence on an ex is much easier to cast off. A sense of belonging, laughter, love, all these things are never bound to one person in particular, especially to an ex.
There is power in independence, in convincing yourself that you dont need the ex in order to feel a particular way. If you can achieve this, not only will you become more resilient, but it will better prepare you for future relationships and help in protecting yourself.

Missing someone that you no longer come in touch with is completely reasonable. Surviving a breakup looks impossible but after a while it becomes easier and easier. Distracting your mind by doing something creative really helps, but first, it would be really helpful if you sat down and think why did this happen and how you ended up breaking up after all. You'll start realizing that it's not the end not the end of the world. There's always hope after all! Missing someone is not something bad, you just should focus on the pleasant memories had together and now that it's over take some time for yourself and take care of you more in order to recover. It's an opportunity for you to think and to get and to realize some things out of all this experience. Remember that there's always hope and that everything happens for a reason. You're strong and you'll make it.
