I want to stop thinking about my ex. What should I do?

It's no more than a question of remembering and falling in love with being alone and the things you might have not had time to do in a relationship. Maybe you've fallen out of touch with the latest news from a fandom on tumblr or haven't put as much effort into art, or read as much, but that can change if you use your now opened-up social agenda to attend to yourself rather than an ex.

1. cut/distance contact 2. get rid of gifts/pictures 3. meet up with friends/family more 4. keep very busy 5. cry if need be, it helps 6. do anything you can to make yourself feel good

In my opinion, you really have to surround yourself with others and things not involving them. I know it can be hard to not associate certain things you run across in every day life with them, but you really have to try and start associating those things with other happy memories or people.

Spend time with your friends and family. Listen to more music and think about positive things. Everything can be helped throughout the online and websites to help you get over heartbreaks.

Keep busy. When you start to think about missing them think briefly about why you broke up then move on to the present, live a full life

Do whatever you feel like you should do. Do something that you know will make you feel better. Take everything away that makes you think of him/her. Tell yourself you can do this. Treat yourself, eventually, you will rediscover yourself.

Remember why you two broke up and how much better off you are without him. Hope this helps since I had the same thing.

Start looking for a hobby, read books, watch tv shows, and let things be, life will take you to someone better.

Think about something that you love/love to do. Try to get your mind on something that makes you happy!

Fresh off a break-up, it's very difficult to stop thinking about the relationship you had and the memories you shared. Make a conscious effort to create new ones. Fill your day with things you love to do. Rediscover who you are without that person. The thoughts may never completely disappear but you will begin to control how much you dwell on past memories and how you feel about them changes because you are now beginning a wonderful relationship with yourself :)
