Sometimes I find the easiest way to avoid the temptation of contacting my ex is to keep myself busy. Fill your time with friends and family and keep your mind off of him/her!

I've found that distracting myself with things that I enjoy doing and activities that make me happy help me deal with this temptation. As well, reminding myself that the temptation is temporary, and that it will feel less urgent in time, keeps me from making contact.

Try not to contact for a while, if you feel it is going to be more painful than relieving. When you get to a point where you can be in touch and not hurting, that's ok.

Think about why they are your ex, they stopped being your partner and became your ex for a reason. Get in contact with some friends/family for a distraction and keep your mind occupied with something else. After some time has passed you will go through longer periods of time where you haven't wanted to contact them and before you know it, it won't be a temptation any more

It is the toughest thing when you still love that person like they are your soulmate and nothing bad really ever happened
Only good times in my experience
But you have to hold that urge back just so you can get past all the pain that ensues and move on once and for all

Think about how far you've come. You already are well aware that reaching out will never give you the satisfaction and comfort as it used to give you. Distract yourself, why dwell on your ex when it will only make you feel negatively. Keep yourself positive, let that temptation pass. You've come so far and you're so strong.

I changed their contact to simple. It reminds me that if i do need to talk to them, i need to keep it short and sweet and be polite but still make sure to respect myself and not get too involved.
