Is it better to avoid things that remind you of your ex?

i still miss my ex and think of him a lot. there are certain TV shows, TV channel, movies, songs and certain singers that remind me of my ex every time I see or hear them.

i have been avoiding listening and watching these things. such as the food network channel. we LOVED to watch this together, so now I try to avoid that channel at all costs. certain songs that I used to love I now skip over in my iPod because they remind me of when we were together and I don't want to think of him.

but I'm starting to wonder...is it better that I'm avoiding these things, or would it be better to force myself to listen to the songs and watch the TV shows so that I can learn to love these things without him? I don't know what will be the best way to heal and move on from him, because that's what I want to do as there is no hope of us getting back together. thanks!
