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

By Alexandra Peterson


The process of getting back together with your ex can often be emotional and filled with anguish. Sometimes no matter how hard you try or what you do, things become worse. While you might hope and pray that your ex comes back to you quickly, days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months as you turn your life upside down to convince your ex to fall in love with you again. Your friends and family encourage you to forget about your ex and move on with your life.

Right now you might have a lot of time on your hands. You have a choice. You can sit and drive yourself insane worrying about your relationship with your ex or you can make the most of this time. You would be very normal to spend days, weeks or months feeling sorry for yourself and acting depressed. If you want to do that then that is your choice. You must admit that using this time when you're alone and you have the opportunity to do whatever you want is very attractive. Using this time to bring about change in your life and making your life more attractive to your ex when the time comes to talk again is probably a good idea. You will be keeping your mind off of your ex while making changes that will make you more attractive.

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.

The dream of owning your own business will be your focus for some time but as an added benefit, you will worry less about your ex. You will be doing something with your life instead of thinking about the problem of how to get your ex back. Often when we have a big problem such as a relationship that has headed south, we can't see the solution. Even though you might think that focusing on a solution is the logical way to solve this problem, we become so wrapped up in the drama and emotions surrounding the breakup that we become stuck. Also, all the attention that you are focusing upon your ex has a detrimental effect upon how they view you and feel about you. When a person becomes bigger than life or when we put them up on a pedestal, they usually shy away from us or flee from us. You will find that soon after you begin focusing on your business instead of your ex, they will have the freedom to love you again without the pressure that you were probably putting upon them.

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.

A little trick that you might want to try is to post a lot of photos of your journey to social networking sites that your ex might be using to check up on you with. Take photos of yourself traveling to your destination as well as some photos of yourself having a good time. The fact that you're happy and enjoying life will make your ex jealous. You might worry that your ex will be offended that you are happy without them but remember, it was their choice to leave. It wasn't your decision. Nothing bad is going to happen because you are enjoying life. Your ex will actually find you more attractive. If they do say anything about your trip you can simply explain that you were grieving and you needed to get away to clear your mind and improve your mood.

Improving yourself and regaining your self-esteem and confidence needs to be a primary goal from here on out. Doing something constructive to help you to feel better and improve your mood is a part of life that very well might be absent these days. Joining a gym, taking up yoga or meditation are great ways to improve your body and your mind after a breakup. Taking a few courses at your local collage or a new hobby like fencing or rock climbing. Do something that is going to make you happy and expand your mind as well as make you feel good about yourself.

The next time someone tells you that you need to forget about your ex and move on with your life, agree with them and begin living your life for yourself. Putting your relationship problems on the back burner while you distract yourself for a short period of time might be the best thing that you ever do to get your ex back. Nobody needs to know that you are truly giving up on your ex. Showing everyone, including your ex, that you value yourself and that you want to have an interesting life is what will be perceived from the outside. On the inside, it's perfectly fine for you to continue to love your ex and hope for them to come back to you. Instead of worrying about whether your ex is going to come back, you will actually be making your life and your personality more attractive to everyone, especially your ex. Start living your life again and you very well may find that your ex comes back to you more quickly than you thought they would.
