3 Ways To Get Over Someone

Let me get straight to the point. Breaking up sucks—especially when you can’t get the other person out of your system. To add insult to injury, your ex isn’t giving you a second thought while you’re up having sleepless nights.

It doesn’t always have to be this way though, and the following Three Ways To Get Over Someone can help. 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.

The worst thing you can do when getting over someone is nothing, as 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; hell, 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 it is, as long as it frees your mind of the past.

2. Make A List And Check It Twice.

When I find myself struggling in the aftermath of a break up, I make a list detailing every reason I shouldn’t be with that person—and I mean everything. From her cheating on me with Bobby Brown to the strange way that she chews her food, I painstakingly document every aspect of our relationship that I hated. 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.

Let me ask you this: 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? These little reminders increase the difficulty of healing and moving on. Your best bet is to treat your ex like Beyonce did Kelly and 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 power in your life who doesn’t deserve it. A healthier, happier life awaits you—all you have to do is take this first step.

    eraising the memories is mandatory. I find myself checking out my ex’s and my old “flicks”, missing the way she used to do this and that. It last for about 5 seconds though, as a new girl usually text me or calls me to let me know I can come through….and I forget it ever happened.

    Wow. Thanx FlyGuy…I actually just broke up with my INsignificant other last night. For this past month, you’ve had such on point topics that seem to correlate with what ive been going through. Thanx for the tips. I’m really gonna put these into action! = )

    #2 is a really good one. Alot of times we break up with someone and after the break up find ourselves missing the “good times” we had/spent with that person, not remembering all the reasons we felt we needed to get away from them. I will definitely exercise Tip #2 and pull it out EVERY time i feel myself “missing” him. Thanks buddy : )

    I go one step further, remove ALL traces of the ex (or as much as you can) asap! I even go to the extent of not listening to the music we loved, changing the sheets, getting new pillows and I dunno if you guys also have the entertainment book like here (Australia) bt i sit down and PLAN activities. Do something!!!

    Lol – once I did that and moved on pretty well (you know, where someone can say he is behind you – and you don’t break your neck trying to turn around and look at him?) and my ex tried to get back with me. But because there no-longer was any TRACE of him in my life (plus that list that FG talks about that remained in my head?), amongst other things – we ended it well this time. And I walked away the bigger person because I had a good mechanism in place.
