5 Incredible Tips on How to Stop Thinking About Someone

Even though it may seem easy for Ariana Grande, who tells her ex-boyfriends this simple phrase, “Thank You, Next,” it’s not that easy. Imagine how hard it was difficult to build your relationship, then all of a sudden, you break up. It’s going to be painful.

Handling a break up after a successful building of relationship can be hard. But what if someone showed you the best way to overcome this? Is that something you’d be interested in?

There are proven and healthy ways of how to stop thinking about someone and move on with your life completely. It’s always good to appreciate someone for what a person has done in your life, but after that, you need to forget about that person.

Below are ways how to stop thinking about someone after having some hiccups in your relationship:

1. Block the person on social media

Now, the last thing you’d want is to continue seeing your ex-boyfriend or girlfriend on social media. It hurts and brings back the old memories. So, if you don’t want to connect or see someone you have fallen out with, why don’t you just mute or block them. This will help you relieve yourself and prevent you from thinking about the person every time.

2. Hang out

Sure, when you have problems, you may not want to share with your friends or even hang out with them. You probably fear that they’ll view you negatively, but that’s not the point. Good friends are meant to be with you during your times of difficulty. So, why don’t you take a walk with your friends and share with them what happened? You can hang out to many places. You can go swimming, and you can also go for a night movie and have the fun.

3. Attend social events

The best way of how to stop thinking about someone is saying yes to any social event that comes along. In these events, you are not just going to meet friends, but also new people.

At least these people will cheer you up and make you feel like everything is okay. So, look up to events and attend any that pops up. It’ll help you get over your relationship break up.

4. Get a change of scenery

Now, I don’t mean you should go on a vacation for a year, but if that’s okay with you, then do it. Try at least and take a vacation – maybe a day or a weekend out at some beach as you sip your juice won’t be wrong. At least you will have released some of the stress that was stumbling you from carrying out most of your activities.

5. Start project

Another better way to stop thinking about someone is to start a project.

For example, Taylor Swift does that during her tough moments. It doesn’t mean you have to be a songwriter. Sure, you can start any project that you love doing. If you are a writer or blogger, begin writing a blog post for your readers. When they’ll read it and leave comments, you’ll feel at ease.

Final thoughts

In life, you must be prepared to face rejections, and the good thing is that you aren’t alone in this. Several other people have faced rejections in the past. A good example is J.K. Rowlings who was rejected 12 times before getting published. So, take it usually. Below are some of the practices you can adopt:

“Less said, more time.”  It is obvious that when you fall out with someone, then you’ll want to let out everything, but what if you just stayed calm and let more time pass? Sure, you’ll not feel okay in the beginning, but as time goes, you’ll start feeling like you are getting over something.

“Wait and see what happens next.” Finally, you don’t want to involve yourself in quarreling with the person who has caused the emotional damage to you. So, you decide to wait and see how things will take shape from there. Sometimes it’s good to have hopes even if you are not sure of the results.
