Time right after a breakup can be full of drama and turmoil...getting your head clear enough to even know which way is up can be difficult enough, so what do you do when all you want is to get your ex back and turn your life back upright...but you have no idea how to do such an impossible-sounding thing? Here are a few tips for you.

1) Odd as it may seem, one of the first things you need to do is break off contact with your ex for about a month. Resist all urges to contact him! If you don't give your ex some room, nothing'll ever work out...he needs some time to miss you! As a bonus, you get some time to clear your head as well.

2) Don't let Hollywood fool you...sliding into a rock-bottom slump until your caring friends take care of everything for you or your ex calls you up out of the blue to get back together does NOT happen in real life. The only person you can count on is yourself, so find the motivation to rise above your depression and take back your life.

3) Surround yourself with people who care about you. Friends, family...whoever you have that puts your feelings on a level almost with their own, make sure you spend a lot of time with them. The emotional support can help you to build up the power inside you to get things done. Just don't use them as an outlet for all your sorrows...even a saint can only take so much of another person's misery.

4) Even if it's forced, you should stubbornly insist to yourself that you can still live your life without your ex in it...at least for that month. Get up and take some steps to pull your life back together and start living it again. Looking great builds confidence, so go through a personal checklist of things you don't like about yourself and fix them all. After that, show off your rebuilt hotness and "I can do this" attitude by hitting the town with some friends and having a blast. Before long the forced smile will become a real one and you'll lose yourself in some healthy, carefree fun!

5) When you're working to get your ex back, make sure you're not depending on anyone but yourself. You're the only one who can make sure this all goes according to plan, because you're the only one you can count on. Don't trust your ex to take part in this or do as you want him to...you'll have to make allowances for things he may do and take care to do the things that are sure to cause him to do what you need him to do. Remember, any sacrifices made for the two of you will have to be made by you...it's unfair, but it's how it is.

6) Don't assume that the battle is over because you've gotten him back. You still need to take care to avoid letting the relationship fall through again. The reasons it went south the first time may still threaten it if you're not careful, and new things are always popping up. Many problems can be anticipated and avoided, but you can't foresee everything. All you can do is try to support your partner's needs as you two take on the world.

Remember these tips, and you should find that your entire experience pursuing your ex for another try will be a whole lot easier to get through, and far more likely to succeed. It doesn't have to be the end of the world when you break up with a loved one...and hopefully this article has helped you to see that. Good luck!
