Know that everything happens for a reason and that you are better off without him. There are reasons that you can't get him out of your mind, but there are ways to stop thinking about him.

Why Can't I Stop Thinking About Him?

You can't stop thinking about him because of scientific attraction. Most of what attracts you are things that you may not even be aware of consciously, but knowing the science behind attraction may help you miss him a little less. Confidence is a big turn on for most women. It has been built into our system as women that we want strong, confident men who will be able to protect us and take care of us. Don't mistake this for arrogance, which usually turns women off. We can subconsciously pick up on confidence by noticing their body language and how they interact with others. Men who show real confidence are the men that we can't help but have an obsession over. Men give off attractive body language when they take up a lot of space with their body. This is why they like to stretch out when they sit by leaving their legs and arms open. Leaving themselves open in this way is an unconscious signal that they are not closed off to the person they are interacting with, but are confident and open to them. Another way that guys make women crazy about them is when they show affection to their guy friends. Men who give other guys hugs, high-fives, and aren't afraid to put their arm around another guy are those who attract more women. This is because it gives a silent signal that they are social and kind, so therefore we will probably be comfortable around them. Men who are very calm are much more attractive to women than those who worry and stress. When they are calm, guys are much easier to talk to and open up with about anything, which is what every woman wants to have in their significant other. These are all reasons why you may not be able to stop thinking about him, which can be very frustrating. Here are some ways to help you get him out of your head and move on with your life.

Remove Him From Your Life

One of the best ways to get an ex-lover out of your life and to stop thinking about him is to completely remove him from every aspect of your life. Having anything around that will remind you of him will only help keep your obsession alive. To be able to stop thinking about a guy, you have to stop communicating with him completely. Meaning, don't call or text him and don't answer his calls or texts. Don't message him on social media either. It may help to even block your ex on your phone, so you won't get any of his calls and texts, which may tempt you to respond. Responding will only make you think about him more and miss him more, keeping your obsession strong. Make sure that you get rid of any pictures you have of him. You don't have to completely get rid of them, as those are of memories that you may want to remember in the future. Just upload any digital pictures from your phone, computer, and Facebook to an online cloud to where you don't have to see them regularly, but you will be able to go back in the future and look at them again. Taking them off of your social media will help let everyone know that you and your ex-are not an item anymore and that you don't have anything to do with him. This way, people who look at your social media accounts will not see a picture of him and say something to you about the guy. Get rid of anything of his that is in your personal space. Either pack it all up and give it back to him or put it in a box and store it somewhere that you can forget about it. You can even put up any gifts from him that remind you of any fond memories you may have had of him, which would make you start thinking about the good times you had and miss him more. Don't look at his social media accounts. This will not help you stop thinking about that guy that you can't get out of your mind. You may have loved him and loved looking at his pictures on social media, but now you need to ban yourself from checking out his pages. Block him if you have to so that his posts and pictures don't even come up. Facebook even allows you to temporarily block someone now, so he won't even know that you did. If you watch his social media accounts, you will probably see things that you don't want to see, such as him talking to other girls. That will not help with your obsession, as you will probably start to obsess over who he is talking to now, which is not healthy. You must completely cut him off from your life to be able to move on and stop thinking about the guy.

Find Distractions

One of the best ways to stop thinking about a guy is to find distractions. Take up a new hobby or start a new gym membership to get in shape for the season. You can get in shape for the future love that will appreciate you. Take up yoga or join a hiking group. These will help you make new memories without your ex. Date someone new to distract yourself. It doesn't have to be anything serious, just go out and have some fun. Go out to the club with some friends to meet new guys. That will be sure to bring excitement into your life, and you may even meet someone new to start thinking about. Hanging out with your family can provide a good distraction. They know you like no one else does, so they understand how you work and will be able to provide good distractions. They know what you like to do and can organize fun days that will get you to stop thinking about that guy. You can go on a trip with them and not have to worry, knowing that you will have a great time.

Focus on Yourself

When you are trying to stop thinking about a guy, you should instead focus on yourself and make yourself happy. Do what you want to do, besides going after him. Get your nails and hair done, or buy something new for yourself that you wouldn't let yourself get before because you were saving money for you and your ex's future. Don't go crazy and spend all of your money, but now that you only have yourself to worry about, you can probably afford to spend a little extra for yourself. Take a vacation and do exactly what you want to do. Go with friends or family, but plan activities that you want to do. Don't be afraid to go out on your own if they don't want to do everything that you want to; you don't have anyone to answer to anymore. You may even meet someone new while on vacation to start thinking about. Now that you are on your own, you can completely redo yourself. Get a different hairstyle and change your hair color. Change the way that you do your nails and get a new wardrobe. Hang out with a new crowd. Nothing is stopping you now, and your imagination is the limit.

Forgive Him

To fully get over a guy that you can't stop thinking about, you have to forgive him. This is usually very hard for couples, especially if it was a really bad breakup. You both may have hard feelings, and each may feel that they were taken advantage of by the other. When you finally decide to forgive him in your heart and decide just to let everything go as it is all in the past, you will be able to stop thinking about that guy. Don't let his negativity stop you from forgiving him even if he doesn't forgive you. You will feel free once you completely forgive him.

Conclusion: Stop Thinking About That Guy

It's always hard to stop thinking about a guy that you just broke up with or had a crush on. You have to keep yourself distracted with activities, such as joining a new fitness group or taking a vacation with friends. Focus on yourself and just do what you want to do when you want to do it. Live in the present moment, not the past. You can't change the past, but you can change your current thoughts and your current actions. Take control of your thoughts and make yourself happy. Don't let the past control your thoughts and emotions today. Once you have done this, you will be able to stop thinking about him. The last step to getting a guy out of your head is to forgive him for everything and move on with your life.
