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

One good thing to do is to get rid of all items that remind you of your ex and to avoid going to places that remind you of them. Keep yourself busy and focus on things that make you feel happier and more satisfied. The break-up happened for a reason and keep reminding yourself of it. Sometimes we have a tendency to only remember positive aspects of the person and the relationship. The right person will come along, but there's no hurry, just take this time to improve yourself and set some nice goals.

Your should listen to music and plus they are a ex for a reason. So just ignore everything and just be happy.

What helped me is hanging out with my friends in lieu of alone time because that is when my thoughts drift to darker places. I know this answer sucks but it is true: Time is the best healer. Healing is also a process that can't be rushed, but spending time with those who appreciate you and make you happy can definitely make the interim less sucky. :)

Fix yourself first. Take care yourself. Work on yourself to be a better and a new you. That's up to you but time heal broken heart. But time also breaks a still heart.

Breakups are hard, and its not easy to get over about that one person that you have fallen hard for. Its okay for you to cry and all just know your limit and not harm yourself because there is no point on harming yourself for another person. Take your time and get back on your feet. No one can make you feel good about yourself, except for YOU.

Surrounding yourself with friends is the best distraction. It's also a good idea to pick up a new hobby or take a mini vacation to clear your mind.

Buy a dog, or a cat. Start doing some new activity. Or simply accept the fact that He IS your EX. I guess, you still can't accept that fact ... let it set into your mind. Write on your hand "EX" so that you know he IS your EX. You've to accept that it is Past !

Surround yourself with other things! Create some art, spend the afternoon with your best friends or family... If you continue to do things that will distract you and give you better things to do,.. You'll have forgotten about him in no time!

I remember the feeling well of being able to think of nothing but my ex for what seems like forever. Keeping busy, doing things you love, spending time with friends, reading books all seem to help, but they won't stop the thoughts completely. I'd recommend accepting the thoughts as they come until they occur less and less frequently and one day you realize you haven't thought about your ex in months. It takes time and patience, but it'll happen.

Focus on other aspects of life, try to move on. You were vulnerable at a point become stronger emotionally and it should work wonders
