Delete all contact that you have with that person. If the contact is in your head, fill your mind with other things more innovative.

You remind yourself why they are your "ex" in the first place and wait at least 24 hours before trying to contact them so that way you have had time to think

Make a list of all the things you dislike about your ex. Do something else, like going out with friends, watching a movie, or reading a book, to take your mind off your ex. If you focus on other things, the urge to contact your ex will probably dissapear by itself.

If you feel the temptation to contact your ex, sometimes contacting them is the right thing to do to get closure or resolve issues. However, if this is a bad idea, blocking their number and social media accounts prevents you from contacting them.

Figure out the reasons why you want to really contact your ex. If you know there's no real reason behind contacting them, find a friend to contact and have a conversation with.

Remember the reason why you are not in common and all the negative things about why it didn't work. Also set a goal that if you ever did get in contact or dump into them again you want to be the best you can. The best version of you.

What I would do is think of why you broke up. Did it make you sad? Did they hurt you? If so then its probably for the best. If not, think about why you broke up and if it was for the best. If that does not help, maybe make yourself busy.

Block him on all social media. Block his number. Get distracted to keep him off your mind. Go out with some friends, drink party and have fun till you meet someone new
