How do I stop missing my ex?

I know you can’t help it. It’s your emotions, it’s the memories, it’s everything rolled up together. But somehow you need to find a way to move on. Hang out with friends and meet people when you go out, it doesn’t have to be a romantic connection, maybe someone you could catch a movie or grab an ice cream with. You know… a friend... GYM Everyone says physical activity is a great way to get over someone, because it’s true. If you’re feeling stressed and anxious, the best thing you can do is to sweat. This not only slowly puts you into tip-top shape, but it helps release your hormones and reduce your stress and anxiety levels. So, get that playlist ready :)

Accepting and coping with sudden changes in our life can be difficult for most of us. Once you meet someone who you think is the love of your life and your soul mate we can have a harder time letting them go. Engaging in activities that we enjoy and that keep us busy is one way of dealing with this. Learn to enjoy other things, activities, meet new friends, take a trip solo, re-discover yourself. You might not stop missing your ex instantly but at least you can learn to move on and to hold on what really matters: yourself

That's a very hard question to answer. It's not an easy task but you will get through this. The key to getting over or past a relationship is to keep busy. Whether it be friends and family or an outdoor activity by yourself. Keep yourself surrounded by positive influences you can speak to that will listen to you. It is good to talk to people about what is going through your mind. Try not to recluse or stay at home or in your room for days upon days. Do something productive with your free time. Hiking, running, walking, riding a bike, golfing. I meant there is a multitude of activities to do. Overall keep yourself busy and in the presence of friends or family. There's always AA meetings you can go to that will help out as well. Keep your head up. Take that next indicated step forward. This too shall pass. rf

You accept that the relationship has ended, you acknowledge the good, bad and ugly times and you find peace in knowing that you have a good lift to live! It’s important that we don’t forget how amazing it feels to be alone and to be in love with ourselves before anyone else! There might be a million and one things that you loved about that person, but getting closure by having a last conversation, blocking them on all platforms and getting rid of any possessions that remind you of them might be a good place to start! What’s meant to be, will be.

There's not a trick that would immediately make you 'stop' missing your ex. Obviously, you spent some time together and it's okay to miss them once they're gone. You'll yourself realize that with time, you'll think less about them and things would start to make sense again. It's not a straight path and there will definitely be many barriers in your journey but maybe you'll meet someone else who'd mean more to you than your ex ever did and maybe then, you'll not miss them as frequently and intensely as you do now. You can't do that overnight, that's for sure.

Ending a relationship inevitably creates a physical and emotional void. The best way to cope with that is to fill that emptyness with positive things. You have more time and space in your life to dedicate to hobbies and spend time with friends - or to take up new hobbies and make new friends - so why not do that? It's important to notice that this is a time for emotional fragility. This often leads to seeking someone to quickly replace the one we miss. A more healthy approach is to give yourself time to heal. When the healing is done, you'll be able to think more clearly and make better choices for yourself. It's also important to be gentle to yourself. It is perfectly normal to miss someone who has been a part of your life, even if for a short while. It happens to almost everyone during their lifetime, and it's never easy. When you feel it's too much, know that don't have to take it all alone. There's always someone on 7 Cups who will gladly listen to you.

Firstly, trying to avoid missing someone really doesn't work. Generally, people try to distract themselves so tehy done have to deal with the emotional turmoil of the separation and so in doing so it only amplifies how you feel about the separation. If you think about how its made you feel, why you feel this way, and dig deep into the emotions of the issue that's where the healing starts. Talking to others helps as well, and realizing that this isn't the end but the beginning of a new life for you. All breakups are emotional and can take time to heal from, so be kind to yourself and learn to be in the moment and relax .

The answer to this is very subjective and the only person who can truly answer this is you. Some people find distraction can be very helpful. For example, some people can find it valuable to throw themselves into a hobby or a club so they don't have the time to think about it. Some people like to form connections with other people, romantically, sexually or platonically. This gives you the opportunity to feel emotions and bonds with others, perhaps even in the way you felt with your ex. This can help some people to recover from missing previous partners as it reminds them they're able to feel this way with others too. Other people may find it helpful to feel the emotions full force and take the opportunity the cry or make themselves hurt more for set periods of time. This can help some people as they feel able to get over the pain if they have the ability to feel the grief of the relationship rather than ignoring their emotions. This method should come with a warning though as it often makes people feel worse as they allow themselves to dwell in the pain of the previous relationship.

First, it is important to acknowledge and valid all your emotions because what you are feeling is completely okay. It is hard to miss someone that you were super close too and one thing that really helped me was keeping busy and surrounding myself with my friends and family. Often times, it can feel like you lost this big part of your life when you break up but another way to look at it, is that you have lived and learned. In addition, you now have more time to focus on what makes yourself happy and work on achieving your own goals. It is definitely hard to keep on thinking about them but surrounding yourself with people who love you will remind you that you have still have so much support and love in your life.

This question seems to be one that is asked quite often. Your ex left an impression on your mind. Your brain has developed pathways and memories surrounding them and so those will be hard to shake. To stop missing an ex, you can take a couple of routes. The first is to acknowledge that you and this individual have broken up for a reason. Identify those reasons and try to remind yourself of why it might not be a good fit. This logical rationalization of your breakup can help you to gain a steady footing while sorting out all the emotional turmoil caused by losing someone. Another great advice that will help tremendously is to remove reminders of this person. This means deleting phone numbers, removing them off social media, getting rid of old photos, etc. These things serve as reminders to your brain and so those "healing" pathways will be reopened with each reminder. It is like picking at a cut and not letting it heal. There is a lot more, but these two things seem to be a good starting place on the road to recovery. I will caution strongly against trying to remain friends with your ex at this time if you still have strong feelings for them- this will only complicate things in your mind and will likely lead to more pain than it will healing (when you spend time with them, it may feel great, but once you're not with them, it will likely feel emptier and more frustrating than before).
