Moving on is hard, you want to do it, but everything reminds you of your ex. It’s difficult and sometimes seems like something impossible. I want to give you a tip that will help you think less about your ex.

Do you know that feeling, when you think you’re over it, you forgot your ex, and suddenly a song reminds you of everything? It’s something common that can happen to anyone, it happened to me when I tried to forget my ex. Everything reminded me of her.

The presents she bought me, the images of us together, the songs we used to sing, her favorite perfume, and much more. I tried my best to forget her, but it was hard. We had a lot of experiences together and I had many memories.

Maybe you’re struggling right now with the same situations. When you try your hardest, but your mind doesn’t listen. It keeps reminding you of your ex again and again. It can be frustrating. It’s hard to control our thoughts and therefore I want to suggest another approach.

Instead of trying to control your thoughts, try to change the things that make you think about your ex. Because thoughts most of the time comes because of something. Almost always there’s something that makes you think of your ex. By changing your environment and reducing the things that make you think of your ex, you’re increasing your chances of moving on.

It means you have to put all the presents they gave you in a place you can’t see them. As well as the images and all the stuff that reminds you of your ex. Of course, don’t be overdramatic and do things you will regret in the future. You don’t have to throw things. Because maybe in the future when you don’t have more feelings, you would like to use things or think about the past. Remember that little changes can make a huge impact on your life.

Not only that it will make you feel instant relief, but it will also help you move on fast. First of all, you have fewer things that remind you of your ex what means you will think less. Secondly and even more important, it will show you that you’re ready and willing to move on. It’s easy to say, “I want to move on”, but continue crying and do nothing about it.

When you take action, but for real. Like putting aside all the things that hurt you. You’re moving forward, you’re doing things that will help you be happy. Healing starts from the mind and when you convince your mind to be with you and to support your journey, it will happen. There’s no magic.

Try to make things as easy as possible for you. Try to have fewer things that make you think of your ex and it will help you move on faster.
