How to get over lust?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

First off, don’t make a big deal out of it. To get over it, there are four things that really help a lot 1. Do some creative stuff, lust will simply not bother you when you have a hobby, you do Seva, you cook a meal for someone, or you organize a picnic, whatever. 2. Physical exercise: go jogging, swimming; to the gym, do Suryanamaskars. Sweat it out! It is good for your body and mind, and definitely great to get over any obsession 3. Dancing - Dance to some devotional music, even some soft pop or rock is fine. Move your body with abandon. With eyes closed surrender to the music. 4. And finally Cold water baths!!
