Divert your attention elsewhere. Try to busy yourself, learn new things, have fun with your friends. Just... enjoy life and forget him. Don't be idle. If he ever comes to your mind, find something to do just so he won't bother your mind again.

It takes time. It is hard and it hurts. But it will happen eventually. And everything will make sense. You will stop thinking about your ex eventually. These things don't happen over night. But it will happen. Just try to think about other stuff.

Time will eventually help you do it.. But until then.. Have a job, do some workouts, meditate, play some yoga,.. All I am saying is that you should move on with doing things you love.

Acknowledge that your ex was a part of your life, try to accept that and start making memories that don't involve that person. You are strong enough on your own.

Have you tried writing down what makes you not think about him? If no, do you think it might be something that could help you seing there are times when you can actually stop thinking about him/her?

Remember life can go on! Go out and enjoy the simple pleasures that you normally enjoy. The sooner you remind yourself of other possibilities the less painful it will be. Usually it takes 3 months for the break up edge to ease away.

What I did to stop thinking about my first boyfriend was: I went to a TON of college events, parties, night clubs and raves, I eventually started going on dates again (nothing serious with any of them at first), to get over my break up and time helped a lot. It doesn't even hurt to think about him anymore.

I do this all the time!! I think the best thing to do is just distract yourself when you feel like you're thinking about them. But then again, the harder you try to not think of them, the easier it is to remember them.

You should do somethings every day to stop thinking about him/her. I request going out once in a while so, that way you forget about them.
