Does the 'no contact' really work?

Let's say, she broke up with you because you did a mistake (not cheating, just some small arguments and misunderstandings related to jealousy and insecure) and finally you tried to respect her decision because you did what you could do, you've apologized many times, you asked to meet but she declined, you asked why she didn't pick up her stuff she left at your house, you tried to fix things, etc but she kept ignoring you. And finally you went no contact, you decided not to pursue and chase her anymore after she made it clear that she asked you to leave her and she asked you to move on.

You gave up and you prayed to God for her happiness, because you know that if you really love someone that you should be able to let her go. And it's been almost one month, but she keeps stalking your social media, keeps viewing all of your Instagram stories. While you never check on hers anymore. And somehow it makes you keep thinking about her and you can't really move on with your life. You can't block her or unfollow her though because she's basically a coworker even though you don't meet her everyday. And you stick to the "no contact rules" for your own mental health and sanity.

How do you guys cope with this no contact situation? It's extremely difficult, sometimes you really want to break it. But is it a blessing in disguise? Or am I actually dodging a bullet? Thank you.
