5 Tips to Win Your Ex Back

Getting through a rough breakup can be a lot easier if you have a little help working out the details of what you’ll need to do to get your ex back. Sometimes just a helping hand can make all the difference…which is why I have 5 valuable pieces of advice to make this whole experience easier for you.

1. No matter how much it feels like your life is all but over, you have to still keep going. Letting life pass you by will only leave you further and further behind, and you’ll never recover fully. Have the strength to stand back up and keep going even if life has knocked you down.

2. Too many people seem to feel that drugs or alcohol are an easy way out from the pain, but in truth it’s just an escape that can damage you more than help you. Find healthy ways to deal with your broken heart…seek help in your friends and family, or things you enjoy.

3. Odd as it may sound, it’s actually a good idea to cut off contact with your ex for about a month after you two break up. This can really help your situation in a number of ways: it keeps more conflict from flaring up from all the emotion flying around, it gives you both time to evaluate your situations, and lets you form a plan for how you can most effectively get him back when the time is up, so that you don’t have to just do whatever comes naturally and hope it works. This no-contact term means no contact, period…no email, no text messaging, no phone calls…nothing.

4. Go by your head, not your heart. Emotional turmoil like this can lead you astray where your mind knows you shouldn’t go. Trust in a solid plan, not in whatever your first impulses are.

5. Be willing to accept that you two may not be destined to be together…but don’t let that hold you back from giving it your best. 95% of breakups can be fixed if handled properly, but there is that chance that you two aren’t each others’ true soulmates. Be prepared for that possibility, but do your best to solve the problems you face.

These 5 words of advice should help you a lot in getting through this time and coming out successfully living your life, but only if you heed what they say. Remember this information, and you should have a lot simpler time surviving this breakup.

Probably the most important thing I can tell you is to have a plan. Going into this without an underlying strategy would be disasterous, as typically these situations don’t work the way they seem like they should. They can be tricky, so don’t get tricked! Use your month of freedom from your ex to work out a real plan, so you can know what you’re doing before you’re stuck staring your ex in the face and wondering what to do or say.
