You've suffered a relationship break up, and now you're wondering if it's possible to get your ex back. This is a natural reaction, and they call it suffering through a break up with good reason.
The answer to that question is yes far more often than you might think, but you need to approach things the right way to have any chance of getting back together after a relationship break up.
Before you start the process of fixing a broken relationship, you need to ask yourself the all-important question: should I fix this relationship. After a relationship break up, you will understandably feeling lonely and lost.
This is not a good reason to try and get back with your ex, because these feelings can lead you to ignore the very real problems that lead to the relationship falling apart to begin with.
But if you look at the relationship and realize that your reasons for wanting to get back with your ex are genuine, then it's time to take the right steps to mend the parts of the relationship that are broken.
You need to take a planned and measured approach, though, and not just go charging right in. You wouldn't run on a broken leg, and you need to take the same kind of care in healing after a relationship break up.
Step One: Date Someone Else
I know this seems like weird advice when you're trying to get your ex back, but this is a very useful step. The keyword here is date; this is not an invitation to start a full-fledged romance.
But dating other people will serve two purposes. One is that it will show you whether or not you should be trying to get your ex back: if you find you're not thinking about them and are thing about your date, then this is a sign that you may be moving on.
The other reason is that it will give you some space to reflection on your relationship and something to compare it to. This will give you the information you will need to do the next step.
Step Two: Know what went wrong
The cliché is that people that don't k now their history are doomed to repeat it. This is rarely more true than in repairing a broken relationship. If you don't know exactly what went wrong, you won't be able to fix it, so it is very important that you figure out where things went wrong so that you can navigate around the reasons for your relationship break up.
Step Three: Use a Light Touch
Start slow and don't rush things. Do not, under any circumstances, expect things to immediately revert to the good old days before the relationship break up. You need to look at this as starting all over, and you need to let things progress at their own pace. Nothing will put your ex off faster than you trying to push them too far, too fast.
While this article will certainly start you on the road to winning them back after a relationship break up, you may still need more advice and instruction. If this is the case, don't hesitate to look for the advice that will help you get back to the place where you were happy.

4 Steps To Stop Your Divorce And Save Your Marriage
The thing you need to know is that it is not too late to stop your divorce. The break up of marriage is one of the worst things that can happen to a person, and it is all too common. More than half of all marriages today will end in divorce. When you consider that divorce is commonly regarded as one of the most stressful events that can happen in a person's life, even beyond the death of a dead one, this is a lot of heartache out there in the world.
The tragedy is that most of these breakups could have been prevented. You do not have to be a statistic. You can do something about it; you can stop your divorce. I won't say that it is going to be easy, but it is possible. You just have to follow the steps to rebuild what has been broken.
You can't expect to stop your divorce without a plan anymore than you can expect to build a house without blueprints. Fortunately, the help is available and it behooves you to take advantage of it. Your marriage does not have to fail. You can do something.
Step One: Find the Problem
You can't stop your divorce if you don't know why your marriage is falling apart. You need to work with your spouse to diagnose what is wrong with the marriage. This is a little harder than it sounds, because what you think might be the reason for the divorce is just a symptom.
Step Two: Fix the Problem
In many ways, this is the most important step. If you can't fix the problem, then you can't stop your divorce. Some problems can't be fixed, but most can. The reason most marriage ending problems don't get solved is that they are never identified. But you've already done that in step one. What you need to do know is work with your spouse to make the compromises that will save your marriage.
Step Three: Remember the Good Times
You're going to need to remind both your spouse and yourself why you were together to begin with. No matter how bad your marriage has gotten, there was a point when things were good. You should try to get back to that place, but you should always keep in mind that it existed.
Step Four: Start Over
The last step in your quest to stop your divorce is to begin again. You need to look at your marriage as a brand new marriage. While you should keep in mind the good times, you need to forget the bad times and learn about your spouse all over again. Things have changed, and you need to make your marriage work with the person you are married to, not the person you used to be married to or the person you wish they were. Accept them as they are, and work together to build a better, stronger marriage.
If you follow these four steps, you will be able to stop your divorce. If you need more help, then don't be afraid to look for it. There are systems out there to help fix what is broken in your relationship, and you need to be willing to use them.

7 Top Signs Of Cheating In A Relationship
Top Signs Of Cheating In A Relationship
If you suspect your partner at all, you should look for signs of cheating in a relationship. Usually if you see smoke, a fire is burning somewhere. So if you have doubt in your partner’s fidelity, there’s probably a reason.
Remember that just because you see signs of cheating in a relationship, though, that doesn’t necessarily mean that cheating is going on. Once you’ve seen the signs, you’ll have to look further to determine if cheating is really happening.
And sometimes there are no signs of cheating in a relationship and yet cheating is going on. It’s not an easy position to be in, to have to figure these things out.
The following signs can certainly lead you one direction or another. Don’t make a decision just based on one or even a few of them. But a lot of evidence can certainly let you know that something may be wrong, and you may want to look at little closer.
• Secret cell phone conversations are one of the top signs. If your partner leaves the room every time the cell phone rings, you have to wonder why. Were they taught that’s polite? If they’re at all strange acting about the conversation, you should pay attention.
• Sudden change in hygiene is common when someone is having an affair. If your partner never goes to any special trouble for you to make sure he or she looks and smells good, a change in this could be worrisome. If they’re making themselves nice for you, that’s great. If they’re dolling up to go out, you have to wonder why.
• More arguments can be one of the signs of cheating in a relationship. Particularly if it seems your partner is starting the argument for no reason and then storming out because of it. It could be just an excuse to leave and have some time away from you without having to come up with another excuse.
• Catching your partner in a lie can mean trouble. Even the smallest lie shows that person’s willingness to lie in general. Look for connections between that lie and the possibility of an affair.
• An increase in computer time can be a bad sign. If your partner is spending hours online after you’re in bed or while you’re doing other things, it could be an affair.
• A common sign of cheating is if your friends act strange. They might know something you don’t and feel uncomfortable around you.
• And a painfully common sign of cheating is if your partner accuses you of cheating or hints that he thinks you might be having an affair. Very often, that’s a guilty conscious talking and you’re being accused of the thing that’s causing him or her guilt.
The only way to know for sure is to have real evidence. So remember that even though these are common signs of cheating in a relationship, none of them can be used to prove an affair is occurring.

Blog Mastermind Mentoring Review
This was a recent issue Blog Tips Newsletter by Yaro Starak creator of the Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program. Thsi info is so good I just had to pass it on to you. Click here to join the Blog Mastermind Mentoring Program
If you just started blogging chances are you don't have many readers, if any at all.
If you are wondering what you are doing wrong and what you need to do in order to build an audience, this newsletter will help.
---------------------
Why is it that some bloggers have all the traffic and others are lucky if they have about 10 visitors per day?
You may write regular content for your blog but because no one reads it, you feel like you are wasting your time.
All blogs are not created equal. Guy Kawasaki started a blog and a few weeks after launching he had over 4,000 daily readers. So what made him different?
Guy is a famous author and business speaker so he had the benefit of lots of other bloggers and media spreading the word about his blog for him.
Chances are you don't have the same advantage as Guy. I didn't, I had to earn my blog traffic the hard way.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MARKET?
Blogging is like starting your own print newsletter or "fanzine". First you put the hard work in, gather a collection of articles, images and other content and launch your new publication.
Once the first issue is ready it's time to get out there and show it to everyone.
You won't have a marketing budget or the benefits of a public relations officer drumming up free publicity for you. You have to do all this for yourself. You wear all the hats for your blog - author, publisher, marketer and public relations.
This is why a lot of bloggers fail. You produce good content but you don't know how to MARKET your blog.
Most bloggers do not know where the best places are to drum up traffic and instead use "shotgun" tactics - haphazardly shooting for traffic all over the place using as many random methods as possible with no thought into exactly what is the smart way to get traffic.
No methodology. No process.
START AT THE BEGINNING
The first step to build blog traffic is accepting the fact that you will have to *work* for your traffic. No one is going to do it for you. No one is going to help you. Your blog is your baby and you are a single parent, solely responsible for its growth.
Are you okay with that? Do you accept the burdens?
Yes? Good! Okay, let's move forward.
Blog traffic building begins, just like a magazine, by creating something worth reading. You would never go out and hand out copies of your fanzine if it had only one or two articles in it.
Before we even talk about finding readers for your blog you have to ask whether the readers you are chasing will read your blog once they get there.
Is your blog AMAZING? Do you have great content? Do you even know what great content is?
Take a good look at your blog and review whether your starting content is worthy enough to capture and retain the attention of readers.
If you just switched the "on" button for your blog then there is only one thing you need to worry about. Forget about traffic. Sit down, get your writers hat on and start writing articles.
If you haven't done so already, cover at least these topics before properly launching your blog -
1. Your About Page
Who are you? What you are blogging about and why would a person want to read your blog? What is in it for them?
Talk about the BENEFITS for your readers, NOT the features of your blog.
2. Your Contact Page
You need a contacts page because you want to make it easy for your readers to get in touch with you. If possible, include a nice smiley picture of your face on your contacts page, to make your blog more personal.
Other possible contact details you might want to include in your contact page:
- Phone number (if you are comfortable with this)
- Mailing address (ditto)
- Skype, MSN Messenger or Google talk contact details
- A link to your Linked-In, Facebook or MySpace profile
- Your Twitter, StumbleUpon or Digg profile
You can place anything you feel comfortable making available to the public on your contact page.
3. Pillar Articles
I'll discuss the concept of "pillar articles" in more depth in an upcoming email newsletter, but for the moment you need to start working on some nice, fat, juicy, meaty...okay, you get the picture - SOLID articles.
Something substantial. Something worth reading that teaches your audience about the subjects relevant to your blog topic. Not just news reposts from other websites. This is ORIGINAL content from your mind.
Be creative, be interesting, be inspirational and demonstrate these elements through your blog articles.
LAYING THE FOUNDATIONS
Do you know what a pre-launch is?
A pre-launch is what you do before you *launch* your blog. You take certain actions and set up the foundations at your blog before you tell anyone about it.
The purpose of a pre-launch is so you don't go wasting time marketing your blog to build traffic before there is anything there. There's no point trying to sell an empty book.
I tell my blogging students not to bother looking for traffic in the first month of blogging. Your blog may be online, but it's better if people don't know about it until you get something there worth reading. Once the content is in place and you finish all the pre-launch activities, then you can officially "launch" and get the word out about your blog.
Knuckle down, work on your pre-launch and you will be ready and confident when you start to drum up your initial traffic that the new readers you attract will stick around and not immediately click away from your blog.
WHAT GOES INTO A GOOD PRE-LAUNCH?
If you need help with your blog pre-launch and want to know what steps to take during the first month of creating a new blog, I have a private blog training program you can join.
My mentoring course is called Blog Mastermind and provides a step-by-step guide to take your blog from zero to hero, explode your traffic and build a solid income stream, so you can quit your job and earn a full time income from blogging part time.
During the first month of Blog Mastermind I provide you with lessons that reveal the common mistakes most new bloggers make and how you can avoid their fate and launch your blog with all the right elements in place.
I've helped over 1,000 students successfully launch blogs. Here's some feedback I received from one of my students -
******
Where do I begin? I started getting into the idea
of blogging from a friend of mine who earns a
decent living from running websites and the one
piece of advice he gave to me was to learn as much
as possible. Whilst I have used many resources to
assist my blogging process, yours has been the
easiest to understand and the most informative.

How To Cure Bad Breath
This Info Provided By Mark Belmont Author of How To Be Handsome.
A couple of days ago, I met with a real estate agent named Bruce
who had been recommended by a friend. I'm thinking about selling
my condo, and this guy seems to be pretty highly regarded, so I
decided to meet with him and discuss my options.
As soon as he opened his mouth to say hello, I couldn't help but
cringe. Bruce had absolutely HORRIBLE smelling breath. I can
usually handle a bit of bad breath if I just keep my distance,
but this was too much. Even sitting across the table from him, I
could still smell it. Awful.
Needless to say, I ended the meeting as soon as possible. Bruce
could have been an exceptional real estate agent, but
unfortunately he'll never get my business. I couldn't even
listen to what he was saying because I was concentrating so hard
on avoiding the stench of his breath.
This was a particularly bad example, but bad breath (or
"halitosis" as it's clinically known) is actually a very common
problem. And it's also a very good way of alienating people,
losing business, and killing your chances with a woman.
In this post, I'm going to share with you some of the most
effective methods of eliminating bad breath.
-------------
- There's only one surefire way to test and see if you have bad
breath. First, wash your hands thoroughly. Then, lick the back
of your hand. Yep, you read that correctly... LICK the back of
your hand. Then, smell your hand. If it smells a bit funky,
then chances are your breath is worse. If there's no smell at
all, then your breath is probably fine. Always wash your hands
first (and probably after, too) so that you don't lick up a bunch
of germs.
- Brush your teeth and floss twice daily. Duh! Flossing is
equally important, though, because plaque buildup can cause
bacteria growth and lead to bad breath.
- Clean your tongue every morning after brushing your teeth.
This is crucial. To do so, you can either buy a tongue scraper
at the store or use a kitchen spoon. Gently pull the white gunk
at the back of your tongue forwards, and rinse the tongue
scraper/spoon in the sink. You don't need to get all the white
crap off, just give it a couple wipes to get the excess. Trust
me, doing this regularly helps a lot... just be careful not to
reach too far back and activate your gag reflex!
- Drink lots of water. Yep, staying hydrated is a great way to
prevent bad breath. In fact, when you wake up in the morning the
reason you have such awful breath is because your mouth has been
dry all night. Your saliva is an important part of oral hygiene,
and drinking lots of water keeps your saliva glands working
properly.
- Chew gum. This activates your saliva glands and also
temporarily masks bad breath. This won't necessarily "cure" bad
breath but it can definitely hide it.
- If you have an important engagement coming up, try to avoid
things that really stink up your breath: coffee, alcohol,
onions, and spicy foods are some of the worst offenders.
- If you have persistent bad breath that isn't cured through
regular use of the above tactics, then you should see a doctor.
Halitosis can occasionally be caused by a different underlying
problem, and a doctor will be able to diagnose this.
