To get someone, "out of your head," requires mental focus:
1. Every time she pops into your thoughts, change the thought.
2. Don't frequent places where the two of you used to hang out.
3. Get rid of all the little gifts, notes, trinkets she gave you, if any.
4. Keep busy - go to the gym, read a good book, hang out with your buddies, learn how to cook, learn a new video game etc.
You can do this. Good Luck. Ann
Number 3 and 4 especially, clean up anything that is hers or she gave to you and box it up, put it somewhere you can't easily get at it. (A porcelain chess set my ex gave me years ago is still in storage, I'd love to get it out now that I don't think about her, but it is so far beyond buried). And keeping busy is key, keeping your mind off of the negative thoughts at hand are incredibly important. The only other element is time, you simply need to give yourself time to get over it.
