How do I stop missing my ex?

Getting over an ex is a difficult obstacle. However, no obstacle is too great to overcome. I went through a similar experience in middle school and high school and it was quite challenging for me to stop missing my ex when we were over. I found the best thing to do was join other communities. I joined other sports team and clubs around school which helped me meet new people and focus my energy into other collaborative efforts. Furthermore, it helped me avoid having spare time on my hands, where my mind might have wandered towards my ex. I really hope this helps!

(My opinion) To stop missing your ex, you should block him in social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. You should block him so that you will no longer updated on your ex. You should also avoid having communication with him/her and do not stalk. Also, do not ask someone like his friends about your ex. Delete all the memories that you have (pictures/videos). Throw/burn the gifts that your ex gave. But if you want to keep it, put it on the place that you cannot see those stuffs like storage room i think. Keep yourself busy. Another, start doing things that can improve yourself. If you want to learn how to paint then try to practice. If you want to improve on academics then go.

When the pain is feeling strong, take a deep breath and concentrate on your breathing . Ask your gut the honest question - 'Were they good enough for me?' Reflect on why they have ended up being your ex? Put a time limit on grieving your loss. 1 day? 1 week? Are they worthy of this time? If you were told you had a month left to live would you spend time missing your ex or would you live in the present? With your family/friends who genuinely love you! Be strong, move along your life path without resisting it any longer. This is your path, be grateful for the time you had, the love you felt and move on x x x

Accepting that missing them is okay is the first step. Be mindful and accepting of the fact that you miss them. It is okay. Next step, would be to accept the good things about them - the memories you created, their positive traits. And then, you need to remember why they are your ex. What caused your relationship to end? Were they truly good for you? Do you really think you wont find anyone better? - Something that worked for me in the past, was distracting myself by focusing on me - i.e. creating good habits for myself (working out, creating a productive schedule, putting my mental health first).

I can tell you from personal experience that it is not easy, but it is possible. Focus on yourself, because yo only have yourself at the end of the day. Life is too short to worry about what your ex is doing, who they are with, or what they think of you. Often times, we as humans, look back on past experiences and wonder why it didn’t work out but we don’t have the answers to all the questions and we most likely never will. Just accept it for what it is because if your ex loved you, it wouldn’t have ended the way it did. Love yourself first because you are worth so much.

I have found that the best way for me to stop missing my ex is to redirect my thoughts when I find myself feeling like I miss them. It can be hard, but at the times when I feel myself thinking about them, I tell myself no and force my thoughts somewhere else. Giving into the thoughts can feel nice int he moment, but they can also allow you to condition yourself to continue to have them. Stopping yourself and changing your train of thought will slow down the incidence of the thoughts of missing them and eventually they will disappear and you will realize that you don't miss them anymore.

It's understandable to miss your ex but, you will have to learn to accept the present. Focus on your self and your journey of self love. Once you realize your worth, you will accept who comes in and out of your life. You can start this journey by creating a new routine that will be beneficial for you like exercising, journaling, reading a book, or whatever activity that helps you express yourself and feel good. I recommend to make new friends that can help you along your journey of finding self love. Friends can help you find new activities and try new positive experiences.

It is really hard to move forward once you attached to someone. Time to time you may worry about your decisions and you may missing your ex. First understand why he or she became an "ex". There may be a strong reason for you to take that decision. Ask yourself whether you are really ok without your ex. In other words ask yourself why you miss your ex now. Is it because memories trigger your emotions or else. Choose wisely. Your life is really important and you should love yourself first. Think whether why you loved him or her and what were the reasons you had to leave them. If you can justify your reasons it's better you focus more on you and do things that make you live and be busy on making yourself a strong person.

Delete contact, delete pictures, delete off of all social media accounts. Go out with a close one, love yourself & remember who's boss. Honestly better off without anyway, I always find new hobbies! I tend to go out to the club to take my mind off my ex, it only works for that moment. Having company around is the best thing ever though I may admit. But yes loving your self is one of the key things, give your self a make over, remember your worth queen trust me it works. Turn on the radio, blast the speakers in the shower & what not

Break ups are very difficult phases in life. You invest your time with a person, you love them, you might even have imagined a future with them. It's natural that you shall miss your ex, so first, do not belittle yourself or call yourself a wimp. To stop missing them, it's a good idea to not go over old pictures, avoid sad/romantic songs, and probably romantic movies and novels too if they're too strong a reminder. You could meet up with friends and family, as that's better than being alone. You could start something new, or start learning something new to give yourself a fresh start. Invest in hobbies. Engage in work. But, most of all, remember that it's okay to cry and feel sad, and it's also okay to not feel so.
