3 Tips To Help You Stay Distracted When Getting Back Together With Your Ex

By Alexandra Peterson


The process of getting back together with your ex can often be emotional and filled with anguish. Sometimes no matter how hard you try or what you do, things become worse. While you might hope and pray that your ex comes back to you quickly, days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months as you turn your life upside down to convince your ex to fall in love with you again. Your friends and family encourage you to forget about your ex and move on with your life.

Right now you might have a lot of time on your hands. You have a choice. You can sit and drive yourself insane worrying about your relationship with your ex or you can make the most of this time. You would be very normal to spend days, weeks or months feeling sorry for yourself and acting depressed. If you want to do that then that is your choice. You must admit that using this time when you're alone and you have the opportunity to do whatever you want is very attractive. Using this time to bring about change in your life and making your life more attractive to your ex when the time comes to talk again is probably a good idea. You will be keeping your mind off of your ex while making changes that will make you more attractive.

Take advantage of this time apart from your ex and start a small business. The freedom of having your own business will be very attractive to your ex and the added income can make life easier when you get back together. If you have every thought of having your own business then this period in your life might be the perfect time to move forward with that plan.

The dream of owning your own business will be your focus for some time but as an added benefit, you will worry less about your ex. You will be doing something with your life instead of thinking about the problem of how to get your ex back. Often when we have a big problem such as a relationship that has headed south, we can't see the solution. Even though you might think that focusing on a solution is the logical way to solve this problem, we become so wrapped up in the drama and emotions surrounding the breakup that we become stuck. Also, all the attention that you are focusing upon your ex has a detrimental effect upon how they view you and feel about you. When a person becomes bigger than life or when we put them up on a pedestal, they usually shy away from us or flee from us. You will find that soon after you begin focusing on your business instead of your ex, they will have the freedom to love you again without the pressure that you were probably putting upon them.

Next, if you ever wanted to travel and experience different countries and cultures, this is the perfect time to both plan for those adventures as well as start living that dream. Let your mind wander and think about where you would like to visit. Would you ride horses on the beach in Mexico or would you live in the lap of luxury for a week on a cruise ship? Sit down and come up with a budget to make at least one of these dreams come true in the near future. Research where you want to go and allow yourself to become excited about the chance to get away and experience something new and exciting.

A little trick that you might want to try is to post a lot of photos of your journey to social networking sites that your ex might be using to check up on you with. Take photos of yourself traveling to your destination as well as some photos of yourself having a good time. The fact that you're happy and enjoying life will make your ex jealous. You might worry that your ex will be offended that you are happy without them but remember, it was their choice to leave. It wasn't your decision. Nothing bad is going to happen because you are enjoying life. Your ex will actually find you more attractive. If they do say anything about your trip you can simply explain that you were grieving and you needed to get away to clear your mind and improve your mood.

General self-improvement should be a goal of yours after your breakup. Taking up yoga, kick-boxing or meditation are all things that you can do to expand your mind and make your life better after your breakup. Taking classes, learning a new language or even getting your pilot's license are a few other ideas for things that you can do to improve your life and make life more interesting for you.

The next time someone tells you that you need to forget about your ex and move on with your life, agree with them and begin living your life for yourself. Putting your relationship problems on the back burner while you distract yourself for a short period of time might be the best thing that you ever do to get your ex back. Nobody needs to know that you are truly giving up on your ex. Showing everyone, including your ex, that you value yourself and that you want to have an interesting life is what will be perceived from the outside. On the inside, it's perfectly fine for you to continue to love your ex and hope for them to come back to you. Instead of worrying about whether your ex is going to come back, you will actually be making your life and your personality more attractive to everyone, especially your ex. Start living your life again and you very well may find that your ex comes back to you more quickly than you thought they would.
