What do you do?

What technique do you use to keep your ex out of your mind.

 

Say the thought of them comes into your head. What do you do?

 

 

I'm pretty good at doing an emotional block. Sometimes I think of how hot her sister is. That always works lol

Don't block the thoughts. They'll come stronger if you try to cover them.

When a thought of her invades you, focus in something "real": if you're driving, look who's driving next to you.

If you are watching tv, change channel until you find something interesting.

Avoid any common places, or things you used to do with her.

 

And if a thought comes in and you just can't focus in something else, just let it flow, let the thought free, your brain will get tired of thinking the same over and over again

I try to stay busy to keep my mind off her by doing productive things. (Gym, work, reading etc.)

 

But my mind still wanders a lot even though it's now been about two months since I spoke to her. I would have said two months of NC but I slipped up and looked at her profile last week since she had deleted everything on it and I grew worried.

 

What helps the most for me is to post here and try to help people in similar situations, even if my advice might not be the best.

I'm cool with the way I do it. I'm not 100% but I am on the way
