Distract yourself and remind yourself. Text someone else. Have a friend be your text buddy every time you feel the need text him text your friend instead. Remind yourself of why you shouldn't and that it's really going to be okay if you don't. This one is a bit off the books but it works. Try to remember something you really really didn't like about him, it'll turn you off instantly and you may lose the urge to text him.

You delete his number and you block him from all social media sites and that way you are not tempted to talk to him.

My methods to stop texting him,was deleting the number. If i knew the number by heart (which I did), i would put a reminder in the contact name, so I could see this everytime I thought of contacting him. Ex: Sam the heartbreaker

Try distracting yourself. Listen to music, write, take a walk, or just plain turn off your phone. Or maybe talk to a listener.

Simply turn off your phone and go out.Take a walk, go for a cup of coffee with a friend or just simply play a game.Despite of what other people think or say, games help by switching your mind off your problems and clear your mind enough to be able to take a rational decision.

In my opinion you can still text him if you want it depends on which terms did u ended. But if you really want to stop texting him i think that when you feel the need to do it you should resist and try to do something else keep your mind busy. Or instead you text somebody else.

I would recommend accepting the urge to text him/her and then take proactive steps to heal from that pain. While it is always tempting to listen to our emotions, they can also lead us astray during the most important of times. Therefore, perhaps going for a run, hanging out with close friends, playing with a pet, or making a home-cooked meal would be the best option to deal with the urge of texting someone.
