How to Distract Yourself From Thinking About an Ex-Boyfriend
- 1). Watch an interesting movie. A captivating film can turn your thoughts away from your ex boyfriend and focus you more on the life of the characters on screen. After the movie, you might also have a better perspective on your situation from what you have learned in the film.
- 2). Focus on a hobby or take up a new hobby. For example, join a soccer team to not only get your mind off your boyfriend but also get some exercise, which will decrease your stress and make you feel better.
- 3). Get back into a routine. Schedule your day so that you are keeping yourself busy. Focusing on projects that are important will consume your thoughts and not allow your mind to drift back to your ex boyfriend.
- 4). Try meditating and clearing your mind of any thoughts. This tactic is most appropriate if you literally can't stop thinking about your ex boyfriend. It's better to think of nothing than to think of him.
