How to stop thinking about your ex
Everyone has someone in their life that they try to forget. A long or short relationship, a difficult or easy ending, the breakup is difficult for both parties. And although some treat more easily, you get stuck in the so-called “emotional breakdown” and you can’t go any further. So instead of loneliness, popcorn, and romantic movies with a happy ending that will only make you feel worse, listen to the following tips and give yourself a second chance to be happy.
Give yourself space and time
Getting over the person you love is a long and painful process. There is no magic wand that turns all gray into cheerful colors. You will also have bad days when it seems like nothing makes sense and that you have not walked away, but do not let it bring you down. You are stronger than you think. Accept those moments as part of your healing process and give yourself the time you need to heal. Feel about everything. Denial of emotions will solve nothing. If you feel sad, don’t save your tears. Pay for all the pain you carry for yourself. Acceptance of feelings is always the first step towards healing after rest.
Stop any contact with your ex-partner
It seems difficult, yes. And it is difficult: you are killing a part of yourself, but this is something you have to do. You must set limits that, no matter how difficult, you cannot cross. Complete completion is the most important step in the improvement process.
Get rid of all the things that keep you hopeful
You don’t need them. Put them in a box, take them to the garage or throw them away and forget they exist. The extra reminders of your relationship will only make you feel bad every time you see them.
Stop analyzing, reexamining, and thinking
When you’re done, don’t put yourself in a position to reconsider that decision. There’s a reason the relationship didn’t survive, and all those “what ifs” and “maybe it would have been otherwise” won’t solve the mess in your head. You do not need excuses and explanations, as soon as you accept that you are no longer together, the sooner you will get over it.
Spend more time with your friends
True friends are a cure for everything. Here they are when you are sad, here they are to make you laugh, here they are in good times and bad and when you need them most. He needs your support, so don’t deprive him. Fill your free time with people who love you and think the best for you, call your friend who you have not listened to for a long time and let yourself think about everything except your ex.
Be active
Clear your head with some physical activity. The best way to get rid of negative energy is to play tennis or basketball with friends, run on a pier, or do aerobics. Do any physical activity that makes you feel good about yourself. Inactivity would only ruin the positive energy that is already slowly coming back into your life. Physical activity reduces stress and fatigue on the body, so you will be able to sleep better and also have a better angle of vision of the future.
Write your thoughts and feelings
Are you thinking about your ex and need to talk to him? Bad decision! It will only make you feel worse after the conversation is over. When you feel like picking up the phone and calling your ex, grab a pencil and a sheet of paper, and instead of opening old wounds, start writing down everything that lies to your soul. Express yourself. Then tear the sheet and throw it away. The worst is over.
Pamper yourself
Now is the time when you need to think about yourself and do something good for yourself. The brain does not understand the difference between emotional and physical pain. Go to the spa center, you will feel reborn. Take on some challenges. Change something about your look that you wanted to do a long time ago. Or change something about your daily activities. For example, you’ve always wanted to ride skates or learn a new language, enjoy your free time, and get a new activity or hobby.
Learn to enjoy your freedom
The relationship started sometimes when you try to find yourself again and get over your ex, they rarely succeed. It is better to use the time for yourself, let the anger and pain go before opening your heart to someone else. Don’t deny yourself the possibility that maybe that person at the end of the street is the one for you. Now that you have more free time to yourself, try to get the most of it. Read the book that has long been capturing dust on your bedroom shelf, join an organization you didn’t have enough time to spend with, find a new hobby, and get lost in time doing something that satisfies you. Now you can finally make up for all the things you missed while in a relationship.
conclusion
These few tips will surely help you with the intention of moving forward with a clear mind and a heart ready to love again. And when they release the radio song you used to call yours, don’t be afraid to change the frequency. When the memories start to fester, be brave and remove them from your thoughts, and in their place, put the ambitions and goals you set in your life and find a way to achieve your dreams. Just remember: “Every story has an ending, but in life, every ending is a new beginning.”
