Lots of exercise and distractions by hanging out with friends and family. Eventually, you will feel better and start dating other people with your ex out of mind. Good luck! :)

Delete their number from the phone, unfriend/block on social media and find something more productive to do with your time.

I remind myself of the reasons we are no longer together, and I think about the possible negative outcomes.

You think of the negativity that it could bring but think of how happy you'll be if you just let go and try not to think of your ex too much

What do you want to achieve from that contact? Remind yourself why it ended in the first place. Most of the time, it won't lead anywhere good.

To not have temptations to contact your ex, delete their phone number so you don't click on it, stay off of social media for awhile, and focus on yourself

First I talk to other people who love me truly. I spend time in reading, listening to songs , enjoying my own company. But at first I started loving myself

If you truly want to refrain from contact, ask yourself why you broke up to begin with. A reminder of that may help buffer the urge to contact him/her.

Do something else (reading, listening to music) so that you will forget that you ever wanted to contact your ex again. That will help, or if it doesn't, then block his number and social medias off your phone so you can't contact him in any way.
