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) I know it seems like the last thing you'd want to do to get him back, but cutting off contact with your ex for about a month is actually surprisingly effective for a number of reasons. No matter what your situation, the separation will make the time you spend actively pursuing him a lot easier, and more likely to succeed.

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) Always remember that you can only rely on yourself to get your ex back. He's not going to change, so the things he needed from you aren't going to either. Trying to get him back if the relationship's just going to be the same as before is just a waste of your time and his, as well as risking a lot more emotional damage for both of you. This is a time of change, so don't be afraid to put some work into yourself...your own personality is your best investment, you always get back 200% of what you put into it.

6) Things don't fix themselves, and even when they get fixed they don't always stay that way just by default. When you do get your ex back, it's important not to let this happen again. The things the two of you resolved when you got back together should never affect your relationship again, and it's YOUR job to make sure of it. Letting things go again just because the hard part seems to be over is nothing but a great way to bring about more trouble and heartache. If you really value your relationship, take care of it.

Getting your ex back doesn't have to be an impossible struggle! If you go about it the right way, you will find that it's a lot easier than it seems. I wish you the best of luck in all this, although in all honesty you don't need it. All you need is a plan!
