Why do I wake up thinking about my ex?

Ending a relationship is a big thing, not only is it almost like deleting someone you spent a lot of time with from your life but it is a big step into your future, you will take what you learnt from that relationship with you. It's normal to think about someone, that you spent a lot of time with and thought about a lot when you were together, it's almost out of habit.

As humans, we hold onto kinship and the natural tendency of familiarity. You were familiar with him/her/them, but know that you are no doubt familiar with yourself. Even more so, because your identity is every composite of who YOU are. You wake up thinking about your ex because memory doesn't fail us. Know that the devotion to yourself is one much grander, that the past is only a catalyst for greater things. Nothing wrong with clinging onto old memory, but there is so much more beauty in moving on.

you probably miss him a lot, I mean that is someone you devoted your time and heart to and no their gone if anything you would be a sociopath if you didn't

When someone who was a very central part of our lives leaves, for any reason, our minds tend to fixate on the whys and hows as to try and understand that feeling of loss.

Getting over an ex can be like rolling a boulder up a giant mountain. Your heart's muscles scream. Your body literally aches. It's just the worst. But every day that you try to roll that boulder up the mountain, your muscles get a little bit stronger. Just like every day that you wake up thinking about your ex, life has given you a few more things to think about. Maybe it's a new friend, maybe it's something you learned at school or work, maybe it's just a really funny story someone told you. But your life will fill with new facts and truths and light, and before you know it, your ex will become just one of those truths. You will still love them. But the boulder will start to roll up the hill. Your heart's sore muscles will ache a little less. Your load will lighten. Believe it or not, you will move on one day.

You may just be used to starting your day waking up next to them or, if you didn't live together, them being the first person you texted in the morning. It can be difficult getting out of that mindsight, especially if you were with your partner for a significant amount of time but its important to make changes that positively impact your life.

You are dwelling on the past. You might be remembering the good or the bad memories that are connected to your past lover. You may not be ready to move on.

You may wake up thinking about your ex and wonder what could he/she be doing or asking does my ex still miss me ? You’re just worrying about that person and you could text them and see if they are okay

This someone was once a special part of your life, everyday, you wake up, get your phone and immediately check on him and chat him. He/she was once my inspiration in achieving things and now that your strangers, it is natural to think of him especially when you loved him

Obviously that is normal when you have been with someone for a while and believe they are the one. The best thing ever is to work on you. Every day make a plan. Every night write down feelings. If your ex is going to come back it is much better to actually to have managed without them. It depends why you broke up. If he/ she left to progress in thier life that is one thing and you may well still be friends. If someone else involved than MOVE ON you need to realise they were not the one. You need to grow yourself as you will be with the perfect person at a later date. Time heals. You may well be friends with your ex later depending as to how you split. If they were badly behaved you have to ask if a real friend would treat you in such a way? I'm guessing you would answer no. Self love first.
