No one needs to make a list on the ways a breakup sucks, but what if you looked in the opposite direction? As hard as this time can be it is still your life and you need to cherish every day of it.
I've made the argument before that nothing is impossible when it comes to winning back love. However, you do have to set yourself up for success. That begins with loving life and radiating a sense of confidence, both of which are impossible to do when you dwell on the negative.
It is funny how good relationships can look after getting dumped. We think about all the laughs and adventures we had with our ex. For some reason the negative times never make it into those memories and yet they were still there. Coming to grips with the fact that your relationships wasn't perfect is one step towards embracing your breakup.
There are plenty of other positive things you can do while waiting for your ex boyfriend to come back around. The best ideas include the goals and interests you have put on the back-burner the past few years. It will take time to get to know yourself again, but it won't take long to enjoy the experience.
There is always a brighter way to look at things, and doing so will significantly enhance how others look at you. Use the time after your breakup to expand your boundaries. Relationships can confine us as we get trapped into a routine. I have a favorite quote I use when feeling "trapped" by stress and frustration...
"Do one thing every day that scares you."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
Hope this helps :)

Tips to Impress Your Ex Boyfriend
If you are going to get your ex boyfriend back then you need to grab their attention. Creating a high level of attraction between you is the fastest way to win them back. But you won't have much success building attraction if he doesn't even know you are in the room, which is why you'll need to make a good impression at every possible opportunity. Here as some tips to help you impress your ex boyfriend...
Make a Change
The easiest way to get attention is to make a change in your appearance. Whether that be changing your hair, improving your figure, or going for a complete makeover. Just keep in mind that you want to IMPRESS your ex. Blue hair might get their attention but it certainly won't impress them. One way to think of ideas is to ask yourself what would get your ex's friends talking? If you can stir up his friends then you know it will put you back on his radar.
Don't Be Shy
The whole game of who should talk to who first after a breakup is petty at best. If you want to make a lasting impression then just walk up to him and say "hi". You don't need any crazy pick-up lines. A simple how-do-you-do is plenty for your first chat. And don't be afraid to flirt a little...guys like a little role reversal every now and then. The bottom line is you can impress him by just being yourself. In some cases the ex is just waiting for a sign that you still want things to work out. Imagine if you missed out on that because you were too scared to talk!
Live Your Life
The best thing you can do while waiting for your ex to come back is live a happy life. Don't wait around for him to call when your friends are out having fun. You need to be seen in the social world if you want him to think about you. People who stay depressed and shut-in after a break up never get what they want because no one wants to be around them. You have to prove yourself to be a catch if you want to get your ex boyfriend back.

Did Your Ex Boyfriend Appreciate You?
One of the things repeatedly discussed on this blog is the notion of becoming more of what your ex boyfriend wants. That could be as simple as changing your hair to something more complex like changing your demeanor. This advice is offered as a strategy for getting your ex back, but it is not always appropriate if you are happy with who you are.
We've all heard the saying that you can't love someone else unless you love yourself. This is probably true for most people which is why you have to be careful about changing yourself to match the needs of your ex. The fact is that not every woman is compatible with every man, and although it is tough to lose someone you love, sometimes things just don't work out. What you have to decide is if it you WANT to make changes in your life to better accommodate your ex's needs.
One thing you should ponder before making any lifestyle adjustments is whether or not your ex boyfriend appreciated you. Sure he may of had some pet peeves that he would have changed, but did he embrace the time you spent together? Were you able to make him laugh and smile when things were going bad? If you answered yes, then your relationship at least shows some signs of promise if you can smooth out the differences.
On the other hand, if you don't think he appreciated you then I might suggest moving on as opposed to making significant changes in your life. I mean, what if you succeed? What if you win him back with your new appeal and are then forced to live a fake identity just to keep him happy? You will likely heal your broken heart but it will be at the cost of your values and goals. There are simply too many fish in the sea to suffer this fate.
