Six Ways To Forget Your Ex Girlfriend
A breakup can be worse. It’s normal to feel sad, angry, exhausted, frustrated, and confused — and these feelings can be intense. You may also feel anxious about the future. Accept that reactions like these will lessen over time. Even if the relationship was unhealthy, venturing into the unknown is frightening.
But you should get out of such emotional pain as soon as possible. Because you will be unable to do anything in life with these feelings, it can ruin your life, it can turn you into a drug addict or even a criminal. Personally, I have been through such feelings. Therefore, I wanted to share my experience with you guys as well.
Studies suggest that people start to feel better around three months of post-breakup. One study found it takes three months and 11 days before the average American feels ready to date again after a major breakup. Thus you can easily get out of this emotional pain through 6 steps.
Cut Of Contacts (For a Month or Week):
It's not healthy to keep in contact with your ex. It will increase your pain, instead of decreasing it. You should remove them from your social media feeds, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. Because observing their activities and healthy lifestyles will only jealous you.
You will need some time to heal from the breakup. It's better to tell your ex
“ I need space ”
Take Up A New Hobby:
When you are in a relationship, you will have less time for yourself. Because you will spend a lot of time with your partner. But after break up, you will have a lot of time. And believe me, it's the time for you to work on yourself, and develop new skills and hobbies.
Give your self some time and think about the hobbies that you wanted to pursue, like
Painting
Gardening
Fishing
Solving Puzzles
Animation
Reading Books
Sports
The possibilities are endless. There is not such a specific hobby which can heal you. It's upon you to decide your hobby and keep yourself busy. This will prevent you from negative thoughts.
Take a Vacation
Even short vacations like weekend getaways can have a positive effect on your state of mind and help with post-breakup depression. (That’s why you can score some legit health benefits from taking a spontaneous vacation even if you’re not heartbroken.) Planning a vacation can boost your mood even before you leave.
Go somewhere new
When planning your trip, look for a destination that offers a complete change of environment. You want to pick a place where you won’t be reminded of your ex at every turn, so avoid places you visited or discussed visiting together in the past. Your ex doesn’t even exist in this new place, okay? Dabble in denial — not forever, but for now.
“Denial is a perfectly fine defense mechanism, but it’s a more primitive defense mechanism,” says Gail Saltz,

New Zealand: New Zealand is the perfect destination if you’re a little bit nervous about going it alone but are craving adventure, fresh air, and endless breathtaking views.
Vent To Your Loved Ones:
It is very important to have support from your loved ones, throughout this painful time. The reason is that whenever you will feel angry, sad then your friend will justify your feelings, moreover they will remind you that you are not alone.
It's also possible that your friends might share some of their experiences with you and the remedy.
Research shows that merely verbalizing your feelings can make negative emotions less intense.
Listen to Sad Music and Crying:
A new study from Freie Universität Berlin has found what all of us sad sorts already knew: sad music can make a miserable person feel better after a breakup. The study of 772 participants discovered that listening to sad songs when you’re already feeling down actually acts as a cognitive reward for your brain
“Crying is cathartic.” In the first moments following a breakup, it’s normal (and even healthy) to let out all emotions so we don’t bottle them up and have them resurface in future relationships. … In other words, allow yourself one day of crying and listening to Adele. Then pull yourself together.
Thus listening to Sad music and little crying can heal you after a breakup.
Accept The Past and Move On
Moving on is necessary because getting stuck at a difficult stage blocks out our future opportunities.
The end of a relationship is not the end of life. No matter who initiates the breakup, it means something is not working in the relationship. Most of the time, it’s not about who’s not good enough, it’s about whether the couple is suitable for each other.
If we’re stuck with the “what if’s” and “how comes” continuously, we’re never going to move on. If we let ourselves dwell in the past, we’re neglecting what we can do to be happier now and in the future.
There is still a way to go in our lives, there’ll be so many more people we will encounter and so many more things to experience. Getting stuck in a difficult stage is a really bad thing for our future.
