Emotions could be tricky, and sometimes it’s difficult to move on from someone you had a connection with and truly felt something for; but if you are no longer together, you’ll only hurt yourself when you keep feeling jealous about that ex.
If you want to stop harbouring that feeling of jealousy, you must be ready to take the following steps:
1. GET BUSY
It’s very important to keep your mind busy at all times. A major reason why your mind drifts towards thinking about your ex is because the mind isn’t busy enough. Get busy with your life, push for things you want, work hard, do stuffs that you love, and you’ll forget that your ex even existed.
2. AVOID MAKING CONTACT
Avoid trying to make contact with your ex, and if possible delete their contacts and unfriend them from social media. It’s a drastic decision to make, but it’s one you must make if you want to kill that feeling of jealousy.
3. CREATE A MENTAL BLOCK
This is also very important. Make that conscious effort to block thoughts about your ex, stop reminiscing about the good times, stop trying to think how amazing your exes life is now and kill every thoughts that go towards that ex. Creating a mental block will help you forget about your ex in no time.
4. REMEMBER THE NEGATIVES
If you must remember anything — remember why it didn’t work out with your ex. Don’t let your mind trick you into seeing the charming qualities of your ex; if your ex has moved on, so should you — and the negative things that hurt you then should be a timely reminder.
5. BUILD UP YOUR SELF-ESTEEM
A major reason why you get jealous about your ex is because you focus on the good things going on in that person’s life and forget about the good things going on in your life. Focus more on the good things going on in your life and choose to be happy about it; feel more confident in yourself.
Are you tired of being jealous about that ex, and you want to move on? Then you must be willing to use these tips.
