What is a good way to get your mind off of the breakup when everything around you reminds you of the person you lost?

Get rid of everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that reminds of that person. Delete those messages. Shred those letters and pictures (Or at least put them somewhere you won't be able to see them). Stop stalking them online. Keep yourself busy. If you find yourself thinking about them call a friend and ask them to hang out or watch a movie (Not a romantic-heartbreaking one). Don't listen to songs that remind you of them. Become more social, go places where you can meet new interesting people. Don't just lie in bed in the morning/before you fall asleep thinking about them, when you wake up just get up immediately, don't go to bed unless you know for sure that you're gonna fall asleep as soon as your head lays on the pillow. And as I said before, keeping yourself busy is all you need.

Listen to your body. If it says the best thing for you to do is go out with friends, go out. If it says today you need to stay in bed and cry, cry. You know what's best for you, listen to yourself.

Try not to focus on all of the good things about the person that has broken up with you. Be realistic and think about the things you don't like about the person.

Distractions. Surround yourself with friends and fun activities! And remember that you broke up for a reason and that you deserve better :)

If we are being honest, there really is no direct way to take your mind off of a breakup. Breakups are inevitable, sometimes we cannot control them. The best way in my opinion is to try and keep your distance from not them, but the situation. Surround yourself with people who you care about and people who love you. Keep in mind the best thing you need is time. Everybody needs time to heal after a breakup. It is extremely important to accept that things may not go as planned, and be optimistic about letting yourself go from the situation. A break up is not the end of the world, just the end of an era.

Change everything around you as much as you can. Go out to new places you never did with that person. Store away possessions or things you once shared. Its almost like painting your room a new color, changing the bed sheets and carpet. I remember having to replace my cell phone. Too many painful memories. And delete them. Their texts, emails, facebook, everything. Write down how you feel and reflect but dont over-analyze every detail or try to make sense of the break up. Don't fear loneliness, use that time to discover who you are again and admit your mistakes constructively. Don't harbor animus or guilt. Look forward to a new beginning. And look only straight forward. And also forgive them, forgive yourself. Because love is the hardest equation to master. No one ever has.

You could try to find some new hobbies and interests - even some new soothing music. You could take some time to talk to friends about other things. Also I had someone recommend to me changing your ringtone as that can help in not being reminded of the person. Most of all give yourself time to heal and be kind to yourself. You can't erase the past, but things really do feel easier with time.

Breakups can be awful, the thing that kept my ex off my mind the best was being around friends or engaging in activities. I found that i even forgot to think about him, however, once i was by myself again my thoughts trailed back to him. Though with time, the nights got easier and the days went by less painfully. It may be cliche, but time heals all.

I think the best way is by, stepping out yourself and start looking at yourself, which i think is the most healthiest because you reflect upon what way is going to be best for you, and which is going to support you in the long run.

Trying things that you weren't able to try when you were with that person because of them. Distract yourself doing some exercise or going out with your friends, watching comedy series... So many good ways!
