Volume 33- Get You Out Of My System

Let me get straight to the point. Breaking up sucks…especially when you can’t get the other person out of your system. While you’re busy pacing the floor and having sleepless nights, your ex isn’t giving you a second thought.

But it’s time to put an end to that today. That’s why I’ve decided to share with you my Top Three Ways To Get Someone Out Of Your System. By the time I’m done with you, your ex will be about as forgettable as the second Lionel from “The Jeffersons.”

1. Occupy Your Time.

Perhaps the worst thing that you can do when trying to get someone out of your system is nothing. An idle mind can be your worst enemy. So get up off the couch and participate in activities that will take your mind off the breakup. I don’t care what it is. Hang out with friends…go to the gym…join a “Saved by the Bell” chat room, and get to know other people who loved Zack, Kelly and Screech. It really doesn’t matter what you do…just as long as it’s not thinking about your ex.

2. Make A List And Check It Twice.

When I find myself having a hard time letting go of a past love, I simply make a list. What does the list consist of? Every reason why I shouldn’t be with them…and I mean everything. From her cheating on me with Bobby Brown on the Tom Joyner Cruise to the way she chews her food loudly. Any and every thing that I can think of to make that person appear undesirable to me. So whenever I start thinking about “what if,” I simply whip out my list to get my mind right. Trust me, it works.

3. Erase The Memories.

Can I ask you a question? Why do you still have your ex programmed as speed dial number 2 in your phone? Or better yet, why are they still listed as your emergency contact at work? All of these little reminders do nothing but make the process of healing and moving on that much harder. So treat your ex like Beyonce and Kelly did Michelle after the last Destiny’s Child concert…lose the number.

The Fly Guy Moral- Now the ball is in your court. There’s no sense in giving someone who doesn’t deserve it that much power in your life. So get them out of your system as soon as possible, so you can move on and be healthy, happy, and ready to find new love.
