Reason and Solution's to Why You couldn't let go off your Ex

Here are the reasons (and solutions to those reasons) why it's so hard to let go:
There Is Always Something There To Remind You. Once a person is gone, all
you have left are pieces of
their memory. This can range from a strand of hair to a ticket stub from a special date, to a song.

If you're especially sentimental (weak-minded) like me, you've probably saved many reminders.

Solution: I know it's hard to throw stuff away, but, you can always stow away for later, when you're able to look back fondly at things without all those negative emotions. Put it all in a box under the bed. Go cold
turkey on that special song, avoid the cologne or perfume they wore, etc. It's like breaking an unhealthy
habit.

There's A Human Network

It's ok to hold on to friendships with an ex's friends and

family, but it would behoove you to avoid seeing these

friends for a while.

It's all too easy to ask a mutual friend what your ex is up

to. I've found myself "hanging out" more with mutual

friends after breakups just to check up on my ex. Not

healthy. 

Solution: Avoid mutual friends, as painful and rude as it

seems. And if you see them, you should not ask about

your ex-limit conversation subjects to future and

present, not the past .and an Internet Network

My friend Jess has a terrible habit of continuing to follow

her exes on Facebook after a breakup.

This does nothing but infuriate her.

She'll inform me that her ex is "happier than he's ever

been," or seeing an annoying girl she knows. 

Solution: De-friend them on Facebook so you can't see

what they are up to. Even if you think you can avoid looking, the

temptation will be there. Be diligent about

cutting off contact across the internet. 

It's So Easy To Jump In So Fast

How many times have you had to end a relationship

because you couldn't stop thinking about your ex? If

you're not over him, and you can't have him, you might

get into another relationship in order to replace him.

Eventually, it's going to come back to haunt you

because you'll eventually realize there are things you

haven't dealt with. 

Solution: You should wait until you're over your ex

before getting into another serious relationship. But it's

tough to wait. It's not like you want to give up a chance

just because you're not over your ex. Also, sometimes

you think you're over your ex even though you're not.

Hey, I never said these solutions would be easy!

It's Tough To Stay Motivated

When you're down in the dumps over losing someone,

it's easy to turn inward and avoid going out, meeting

people, even working. But the more unmotivated you

are, the easier it is to obsess over the person you're

trying to let go of.

Solution: You literally have to force yourself to stay busy

and distracted. Not only will you meet people and

remain productive, but you will find that you're not

thinking about that person too much...which will help

you let go.

In order to turn away from someone mentally, spiritually

and physically, it takes power, motivation, force, and

faith. You can do it because, in most cases, you were

happy without this person before you met them-so you

can be happy again.
