How do I stop myself from thinking of my ex-significant other when I see things that remind me of them?

Surround yourself w/ people who care about you, i.e. friends & family so that they can distract u from thinking about the past! :)

It's difficult and the more you think of them it just gets worst for you..It happens and when such pop in to you and you start thinking about your ex and significant other ,just know this what ever it is our it will be that is just pure painful for you and if you thinking thn that also mean your not over your ex.. Learn to alter your thoughts keep it simple always understand end of the day "it's just an illusion and don't let something unreal hold you from living beautiful life" and also when they have moved on its better if you do the same ...take care and Alwaysbelieve

Seeing things that remind you of your ex is natural. If you can, try relating what you're seeing to something different. Maybe you come across the DVD that you two used to love to watch together. You can remind yourself that you loved watching that movie by yourself too, or when you were a kid. Or try to occupy your mind with something else, when you're reminded.

Go out and do things that make you happy. Listen to music that makes you want to dance, and go for drives, and do things that make you happy. Spend more time with friends and family and create memories that make you happy. Try not to go on your phone too much, blocking and deleting pictures has helped and is a good way to not think about them. Understanding that you are worth it, and smart and capable is important too. Remember that you are not alone in this, and I am here to listen and help how I can!

It's difficult and will remain so for a while. The only thing that can help bring you out of it is to occupy yourself. It's the very last thing you feel like doing but the one thing guaranteed to move you through it.

A person needs to move on from the past and leave everything behind that reminds them of the past and do something that will turn their attention away from it.
