Getting over your ex can be one of the hardest things you'll ever do. It isn't easy at all. Your girlfriend was the center of your world for a long time and now it feels like your entire universe has shifted. You may even feel like you're on a collision course with the sun or the moon or even Jupiter because everything is so out of "whack" in your world. But that doesn't have to be the case for you. When your girlfriend is all you think about, it's even harder to get over her but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
The first thing you need to do is find a way to get your girlfriend off your mind. This is where some men run off and start dating every girl they come across. That isn't a good idea. First, it's unfair to the girls on the receiving end of this "false affection." Second, it diminishes the love you shared with your girlfriend if you can just go and replace it with any girl you come across. It serves no purpose for you and can cause even greater damage to a relationship that, at this point in time, may be saved.
So, how do you get her off your mind in a way that isn't self-destructive for you and your relationship? You begin by filling your mind up with other, positive things. Now is a great time to consider going back to school, volunteering, or getting a second job. You want to do something productive and positive with your time but you want to make sure that you're not pining away for your ex girlfriend too. These are great ways to do something positive while occupying brain power that would otherwise be devoted to missing her and thinking about her or even getting your girlfriend back.
Of course the other thing you could do is devote the time and energy to formulate a plan to get your girlfriend back as well. This is a great use of your time if you're not really interested in finding a way to get over your ex but would much rather get your ex back instead.
