Staying Positive Through Your Breakup

By Maria Babenko


While it's normal and to be expected that you're upset and even depressed about your breakup, there are a few positive things that you should realize about this period in your life. Even though you're probably very lonely right now, there is always hope that you can get your ex back. Even though your ex might be telling you to move on, there is always hope. Even though it might appear that your ex is moving on, you really can get your ex back if that is the desire of your heart.

It really doesn't matter what lead to your breakup, you can get back together just like all the other couples that reunite every day on this planet. There are couples out there that have probably been through more difficult breakups than what you and your ex have been through and they still managed to find love and get back together in spite of their circumstances. There are couples that have cheated on each other, been neglected and abused and said that they would never get back together who find themselves back in love with each other again. Why should you and your ex be so different? If you truly love your ex and you have even a little hope in your heart then working towards getting your ex back is in your future.

Using the time that you have been allowed thanks to this breakup wisely is the key to getting your ex back. Even though you might be very depressed or lonely because you miss having your partner in your life, making good use of this time is the best thing for you right now. Trying to destroy yourself because you're upset with yourself or feel like you're nothing is not the path to getting your ex back. This is your time and now it's time to pick up the pieces of your life and reinvent yourself. Make yourself so wonderful that your ex would be a fool not to take you back when the time is right.

Spend some time in introspective thought. Allow yourself to honestly look at your part in the downfall of your relationship. Don't take all of the blame for your breakup but be honest with yourself about how you behaved and acted and how you contributed to the end of your relationship. Nobody is blameless. You share some blame and so does your ex but the only one that you can change is you. If you feel that you were impulsive and acted rashly at times, maybe read a few self help books to better understand why you act the way you do and why you react the way that you did. If you feel that you may have an anger problem or a drinking problem, get some help in these areas of your life for yourself and for your relationship in the future. This time is all about you improving yourself.

You will have some time on your hands and exploring what you want to do with your life and beginning to pursue those dreams is a step in the right direction towards improving yourself. Maybe take a look at some night courses at your local community college as you explore what might interest you in life. Learn a new language or plan a trip. Take up a hobby that you might have only dreamed about. Your dreams don't have to be huge but you should have dreams in your life that revolve around what you want. There needs to be change and this change can boost your self confidence.

It's easy to fall into a depression or to dwell upon the past but you have been given an opportunity to make things right. Don't waste time beating yourself down. The world does enough of that for all of us. Instead grab hold of this opportunity and make the most of it every day. Focus on yourself and when the time comes to get back in touch with your ex, they will see the change in you without you saying a word. Make the most of this time and be ready to knock your ex's socks off the next time they see you.

Do your best to keep negative and self-destructive feelings at bay while you do your best to make the changes necessary to get your ex back. If it truly is the desire of your heart to get your ex back then focus on that. Focus on the long term goal instead of being upset at how things are right now. Even if it appears that your ex has moved on, know that you really can win your ex back no matter what the circumstances are.
