When you go through a breakup, the world seems to try to become your personal therapist.
Everyone has some bit of advice on how to win your ex back - from pretty silly suggestions to things that are downright illogical - and it is easy to feel overwhelmed and just sort of shut down.
But when you want advice that has been proven, is simple, and will allow yourself to look in the mirror everyday with your head held high, look no further than the No Contact Rule.
Meaning exactly what is says, the No Contact Rule requires that you make no contact, whatsoever, starting right this very moment.
It is going to be difficult to stand your ground and stay firm against your urges to contact your ex, but if you really want to get your ex back, this is the best way to go about making it happen.
Though it hurts, try to move on from the breakup - all the negativity of the argument that led to the split, and the hurt feelings you were left with when your ex walked out on you.
Try to live your life as normally as possible, and try to look for the silver lining in even the darkest cloud - this outlook has proven to make you feel happier simply by just acting like it.
With the No Contact Rule firmly in place, you have plenty of time to get over those nasty feelings the breakup left you with, and let them go.
By following this simple piece of advice, both you and your ex have the time you need to get over your hurt feelings and get your heads back on a level track.
The No Contact Rule, by its very nature, also allows for the space that is needed to truly begin to miss one another.
There is no other way but creating some space and distance to make this happen.
Once you have both moved on from the negative feelings, and have begun to miss each other, you will both be in a better place to really give true consideration to giving the relationship another go.
Chances are, they will be trying to get in touch with you before you know it!
