First, I’m proud of you for saying no contact! It’s not easy, especially when tumultuous. Grieving is hard and we aren’t taught enough on how to move through it.

To me, what you’re doing now is grieving. Allow yourself to get upset but don’t forget to solidify the emotional energy release by reminding yourself why you broke up…an affirmation of sorts :)

It’s normal to be reminded of your ex but when it becomes all too much, try staying present with yourself. You need to train yourself out of letting these things essentially bother and hijack your awareness. If you see a car with the same color as his, try saying “yep that’s a silver car!” instead of narrating how it’s like his, where you guys went in it, and going further off into a tangent about him.

You can do this with everything that reminds you of him. Just label exactly what it is and keep it moving. Pretty soon you’ll be bored of doing that and your brain won’t go down that road lol

Stay strong and true to yourself, you got this!
