We face many challenging circumstances in life, and it is through coping that we overcome them. One of the most challenging things that you may have to experience in your life is a breakup. Even in this trying situation, learning to cope will see you through. The pain of relationship break-up is perhaps the most intense you will face. You should therefore know how you can cope and bring your life back to shape.

Have a purpose

It is very easy to lose hope when you have broken up with your ex. This is one of the most crucial times to have a purpose. This has a number of advantages.

You will have something to live for, which makes life have meaning. You won't just drag along through an empty life. You will also channel your energy to doing something useful that will profit you and others. Without a purpose in life, this energy can easily turn to a great force of destruction. By being destructive, you will not only jeopardize your chances of rescuing your relationship but also ruin your life as a whole.

Do some soul-searching

You need to take a deep look at your own self. You should not let anything cloud your view but be very objective. There are a number of factors you need to take into consideration in order to succeed in this effort.

How genuine was your love for your ex? Why did you love your ex that way? Did you truly put your all in maintaining your relationship? Is there any way in which you are responsible for the break-up? If you manage to get back with your ex, what are the adjustments you are prepared to make?

These are just examples of the questions you can ask yourself in your process of soul searching in order to cope with your break-up.

Have a good plan

Without a good plan in place, you should not expect to succeed in coping with your break-up and mending your relationship. If you need a plan to build a house, you are in even more need of a plan in order to build your relationship.

You will need to lay down a very good plan, which gives step by step approach on how you intend to cope with your break-up and win your ex back. You will also need to have a very good plan on the steps you want to take after you have come back together in order to avoid the things that led you towards the destructive path of breakup in the first instance.

Another step you will need to take is to carry out your plan. However good your plan is, it will remain just a plan if you do not follow through with action.
