3 Awesome Things You Can Do Before You Get Your Ex Back

By Alexandra Peterson


As the minutes turn into hours which turn into days since your ex broke up with you, your only thought is how to get your ex to feel the love that once burned brightly in their heart for you. There must be a way. There must be a solution. What should you do to heal your broken relationship? Your family and friends see your torment and the best advice that they can offer is for you to move on and forget about your ex.

You might not want to admit it but the advice to move on with your life is probably the best advice for you at this particular moment. This is not to say that you have to give up on your dream of getting back together with your ex. Your heart feels what it feels. You can't change that, but you can't continue to put your life on hold while you wait for your ex to realize that they love you again. Wasting weeks or months of your life waiting for the days to pass is a waste of time. You must do something to preserve your sanity. Improving your life in a big way and taking your mind off of your ex for a short while might be the greatest thing that you ever did in your life. This moment in time can change your life for the better.

Take advantage of this time apart from your ex and start a small business. The freedom of having your own business will be very attractive to your ex and the added income can make life easier when you get back together. If you have every thought of having your own business then this period in your life might be the perfect time to move forward with that plan.

In addition to doing something that you have always dreamed of, the time and focus that is going to be required in starting your own business will take your mind off of your ex. Focusing on the problem of what to do to get your ex back very well might be paralyzing your life. Taking your mind off of your ex and throwing yourself into something big like starting your own small business has a two-fold effect in improving your life and your future with your ex. Often when we stop focusing on someone or a troubled relationship, our partner begins to miss us and the attention that we once heaped upon them so, as you can see, focusing on your work in your new business might be a very good move.

If you have ever had the dream of traveling or going on a vacation, now might be a good time to do that. Getting out of town for a week or an extended weekend would do you good and it would be less expensive now that you're single. Maybe you dreamed of going on a cruise or visiting a far away destination. Even if you lack the funds right now to go on that dream vacation, making plans, picking a destination and formulating a budget to achieve your goal is something that you can do. Then you will have something to look forward to in the near future.

When you do go on your vacation, make sure to take plenty of photos and post them to your social networking profiles. Your ex will see these and they will become a little jealous that your life is moving on without them. They will want to be a part of your life and do fun things with you again. While this might seem a little tricky, your ex was the one to leave you. You should not be expected to drop off the face of the planet or never do anything fun again. Your trip to Paris or Mexico could your way of grieving and making yourself feel better in the wake of your breakup, right?

Your overall aim should be to improve yourself and your life. Self-improvement means making yourself feel better about your life and your place in this world. Meditation, yoga, working out and improving your mind and the amount of happiness in your life is what self-improvement is all about. Reading, taking a few classes at your local collage or finding a new hobby such as kayaking or horseback riding are a few ways that you can add something interesting to your life and feel better about yourself.

Distracting yourself from the pain and anguish from your breakup might not be easy at times but you'll find more success in getting your ex back as a result. Time will pass more quickly and you and your life will become more attractive to your ex. The pressure will be off so your ex will begin to miss you and feel that perhaps they have made a mistake in leaving you. You will appear strong and attractive. While your friends and family will be happy that you appear to have move on and left the pain from your breakup behind, they don't have to know that you still wish to get back together with your ex. It's really none of their business. It is your little secret. It is time for you to focus on your life, your happiness and your goals until that day comes when your ex becomes curious about you. It won't take long. You very well might be surprised by a text message or a phone call when you least expect it. That's how life works and attraction works. When we stop pushing, things start to fall into place.
