Get Some Space.
This might seem counterintuitive to you, but ultimately this piece of advice makes a lot of sense. After the breakup, you might feel angry, sad, devastated, confused, lost, or a mixture of many feelings all at once. This is all the more reason to get space and to spend time away from your ex.

Be Happy By Yourself
Think about this question and answer honestly. Can you be happy by yourself or do you feel like your happiness tends to depend on other people?
Sure, you love your ex and miss them. But sometimes relationships can crumble when we depend too much on our significant others. If you are not happy with your own self, then your own issues can affect your significant other and it can pose a threat to your relationship.

Know Why Things Ended
Why did things end? At the end of a relationship, some people know exactly what the issue was. Others will not know and they end up having to figure it out themselves.
Before you immediately ask your ex what went wrong, take some time to reflect on the relationship that you had. There are many reasons why a relationship ends. Two big reasons can be a lack of proper communication and a lack of respect.

Have a Plan
Going back into a relationship can pose a lot of questions. What is the appropriate way to act? When heading back into a relationship that previously ended, it is important to set some goals and boundaries.
Try to ask yourself some of these questions if you can. What do you want to avoid if you get back together with your ex? What might be some healthy boundaries for the two of you to enforce so you can have a much healthier and happier relationship the second time around?

Don’t Make the Same Mistakes
Even if you do manage to get back together with your ex, it will all be fruitless if you just go on to make the same mistakes that were previously made in the relationship. This is why it really helps to know what was wrong with the relationship.

Have Quality “Me” Time
After your breakup is the perfect time for you to rediscover yourself. Ask yourself who you are outside of your relationship. What are your interests and what do you feel like doing? Do what interests you and take care of yourself during this hard time. From getting a new hairdo or a massage or doing some meditation, there are many ways for you to take care of yourself.

Get His Attention Again
While you might be tempted to contact your ex regularly, that is not the best idea. If you are always texting or calling him to try to win him back, then he will know that you are at his beck and call.
But if you give him space, then he will notice that you are not around anymore and if he still misses you, then he will wonder what you are up to. If he really still does have feelings for you, he will notice your absence and he will miss you.
