1. Remove this person from friends Vkontakte, from Instagram, Twitter 1

And also any other social networks. And in general, if the opportunity permits, throw the old SIM card out the window, pack your things and start a new life. Or at least stop following him on the web.

When you constantly haunt a person or just accidentally stumble upon information about him - sooner or later it will ruin your life. If it is impossible to build a healthy relationship, you need to break all ties. At least until your feelings for him are comparable to your feelings for the boot of a metro passenger sitting opposite in the same car.

2. Think about his or her flaws 2

The foundation of the obsession that people usually call love is often idealization. You attribute extremely positive traits and qualities to this person. As if this is not an ordinary man or a simple girl, but an inhabitant of Olympus who has descended to mere mortals.

But sooner or later you yourself fall into your own trap. The more you idealize an inaccessible person, the more suffering you will be caused by unnecessary feelings. Everyone has flaws - so why not highlight them for your own peace of mind? Strain your memory. In what ways did he or she behave badly? What personality traits are in no way similar to your ideas about the Real Queen or the True Noble Knight? Or maybe there is a reason to pay attention to the flaws in this person's appearance?

Let these negative qualities always light up in your mind whenever there is a desire to idealize a person. And then, by showing persistence, in the end you will overthrow the unworthy impostor from the pedestal of your heart.

3. Spend more time with your friends3

What can better distract from suffering for an inaccessible person than communication with old comrades? Don't sit at home with four walls. Go to visit friends or girlfriends. Call old acquaintances whom you haven't seen in a hundred years. Who knows, maybe they, too, suffer from broken love dreams. And by spending time together, you can help each other forget about suffering.

In addition, it is always easier with friends to shift attention from your problems to how other people live. Maybe they need your help too? You should not dwell only on yourself: since so far your personal life leaves much to be desired, let your strength go in a constructive direction. Teach your friend to knit. Or sit down with a friend's nephew so that he goes to a hockey game at least once a year. Believe me, your friends will definitely be glad to help; and you yourself will feel proud of yourself, because you did a good deed.

4. Wedge wedge knocks out 4

You can dwell on the same person for months or even years; but you can do as the old folk wisdom teaches you to do - to turn your attention to other members of the opposite sex.

Yes, at first you won't even want to think about letting anyone else come into view. After all, there is he or she - such ideal and inaccessible, to whom you want to devote all your thoughts to the end of days. But we both know where this whirlpool will lead: into the abyss of depression, suffering and hopelessness. And there it is close to alcoholism or health problems.

So do your mercy - respond to a smile from a pretty secretary or an attractive guy from the next department. Little by little, the "blasphemous" thought of paying attention to someone else will take root in your mind. And maybe someone from your environment will be able to arouse your sincere interest.

Of course, no one is talking about the need to go all out. Even a romantic date does not mean that you are planning to build a relationship with this person or have a sexual relationship. However, allowing yourself to unwind and distract for a while is an extremely useful thing for those who want to stop loving. So the space for the unwanted person in your mind will remain less and less. Use caution and balance, and then a casual date with a new acquaintance will not turn into another disaster for you.

5. Take head 5

Unrequited love is a great excuse to work 24 hours a day. The more time you devote to work or hobbies, the less it will remain for stupid thoughts and ridiculous love suffering. Set a goal for yourself, the achievement of which will require you to exert your mind. Let it not only assume the need to devote an hour a day to it; it should take all the free time. Become briefly a mad scientist or a distraught businessman whose only goal is to realize his intentions. Of course, this should be done without compromising health and other important values; however, we believe the main idea is clear.

Over time, you can kill two birds with one stone: and grow as a person, two heads ahead of your colleagues or competitors; and gradually forget about failed love, clearing a place for new happiness.

6. Take up yoga or meditation practices6

Yes, maybe it was not in your immediate plans to become enlightened. But it's not for nothing that they say that yoga heals everything. Meditation and yoga practices are a great way to deal with mental stress. Including the stress of parting. It is best to do spiritual practices under the guidance of a mentor; since during meditation, various reactions of the psyche can occur associated with the release of the unconscious from negative experiences - anger, sadness, resentment, and so on. But on the other hand, the same effect allows you to free yourself from painful experiences, clear your mind and calm down.

7. Redirect Your Feelings in a Constructive Channel 7

Turn your experiences into fuel for achievements in other areas. Unrequited or failed love is actually a complex of other states - passion, desire to be together, anger and aggression. A considerable place is given to this cocktail and addiction. All of these feelings, albeit implicitly, contain very great potential. Light and pure love may exist in them, but there is not so much of it as is commonly believed.

And if you manage to ride this wild beast called "unrequited love", and learn how to control this energy, you can achieve impressive heights. There are many people who, after parting with their loved ones, defend doctoral dissertations, create their own business, and realize themselves in creativity.
