Sadly, you can only forget to think about your ex. For now, find happiness in little things. Realize you can smile without them. You realize you are your own home. Accept that you will have that lingering, behind the scene feelings for your ex. Just don't bottle it up and let it out now and then, whether to a friend or counselor.

Coming to terms with the terminated relationship will happen with time if you take some time to work on yourself. It is natural to think about past events, but perhaps take it as a learning experience. Like others said, taking up a hobby that is important to you and helps you grow as an individual is immensely satisfying and great for your growth away from the constant thoughts.

Try to busy yourself with things you enjoy, or things to take your mind off your ex. Then look back at what happened to make you think of your ex and try to avoid that trigger or expect it and know how to cope with it. This will get easier with time

Stop talking to him, avoid doing things that remind you of him and erase all of the memories you have of him
