What Happens When You Don’t Chase Your Ex?
Friday Mar 18, 2022
Friday Mar 18, 2022
Coach Lee explains what happens when you don't chase your ex even though you want to get back together with them. Often times people think they need to pursue and chase after they have been dumped in order to get their ex back but as Coach Lee reveals, that is not the case.

In the aftermath of a breakup, especially one where you've been dumped, the immediate instinct might be to chase after your ex, pleading for another chance. However, resisting this urge and not chasing your ex can surprisingly improve your chances of possibly rekindling the relationship. This approach, rooted in self-respect and understanding, may be your best strategy if you're hoping for a reunion.
Embracing Space and Silence
Post-breakup, emotions are heightened, and decisions can be clouded by intense feelings. By not chasing your ex, you give both yourself and them the necessary space to process the breakup. This period of silence and absence is essential. It allows for the cooling down of emotions, providing a clearer perspective on the relationship. During this time, your ex can start to miss the positive aspects of the relationship and reflect on their decision.
The Power of Absence
Absence often makes the heart grow fonder. When you don't chase your ex, your absence becomes noticeable. This can lead to a profound realization for your ex, highlighting your importance in their life. The lack of contact can make them more aware of the void left by your absence, potentially leading to a renewed appreciation for the relationship and the time you spent together.
Self-Growth and Improvement
Not chasing your ex also gives you a valuable opportunity to focus on yourself. Use this time to engage in activities that promote your personal growth and happiness. Whether it's picking up a new hobby, focusing on your career, or just spending more time with friends and family, these actions demonstrate to both yourself and your ex that your happiness and fulfillment don't solely depend on the relationship. This independence and self-improvement can be very attractive.
Demonstrating Maturity and Respect
By respecting your ex's decision to end the relationship and not pursuing them, you display a great deal of emotional maturity and self-respect. This behavior can change your ex's perception of you. Seeing you handle the breakup with dignity and strength can reignite respect and attraction. They may start to see you in a new light, one that is independent and strong.
Shifting the Dynamics
When you stop chasing, the dynamics of the post-breakup relationship shift. This change can create a sense of curiosity in your ex. They might begin to wonder about your well-being, your activities, and even start to question their decision. This shift can often lead to them reaching out to you, reversing the roles from the breakup scenario.
Building a Stronger Foundation
If a reunion is on the horizon, the time spent apart can actually serve to build a stronger foundation for a future relationship. The space allows both parties to grow and understand what they truly want from a relationship. If you both decide to give it another try, this understanding can lead to a more mature, fulfilling relationship.
Accepting the Outcome
It's important to remember that not chasing your ex does not guarantee they will come back. This approach is as much about healing and growing as an individual as it is about potentially rekindling a romance. It's crucial to be prepared for any outcome and to focus on personal well-being regardless of whether or not the relationship is rekindled.
Conclusion
Not chasing your ex after a breakup can paradoxically increase your chances of getting back together. It allows for personal growth, demonstrates maturity, and can make your ex miss and appreciate you more. However, the most important aspect of this approach is the self-respect and personal development it fosters in you. Whether or not it leads to a reunion, this strategy ensures that you emerge from the breakup as a stronger, more independent individual.

How To Make My Ex Miss Me
Tuesday Feb 08, 2022
Tuesday Feb 08, 2022
If your question is, "How do I make my ex miss me after they dumped me?" in this video, Coach Lee will show you how to make your ex miss you so that they want to come back to you and give your relationship another chance.
In this video, Coach Lee, shows and tells you how you can make your ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend miss you so that they want to get back together with you. Most people don't realize how important it is in getting an ex back that they actually miss you. That's why most of the time, when people are dumped, they act in ways that do the opposite of making their ex miss them. They do things that make their ex want to get away from them and stay away.

In the realm of post-breakup dynamics, one common question often arises: "How to make my ex miss me fast?" While there's no magic formula to guarantee an ex's longing, certain strategies can significantly increase the likelihood of your ex missing you. The most effective among these include the no contact rule, accepting the breakup, and keeping your post-breakup feelings private.
The No Contact Rule: A Key Strategy
Implementing the no contact rule is pivotal in how to make an ex miss you fast. This rule involves completely cutting off communication with your ex for a specified period, usually ranging from a few weeks to a couple of months. The no contact rule serves several purposes:
-
Creates a Sense of Loss: By removing yourself from your ex's life, you create a void. Humans are wired to miss what they no longer have, and the absence of your presence and communication can heighten this feeling.
-
Breaks Negative Patterns: Post-breakup interactions can often be filled with arguments, sadness, or desperation. No contact breaks this cycle, preventing any negative interactions that could push your ex further away.
-
Gives Time for Reflection: It allows both you and your ex to reflect on the relationship and your feelings without the cloud of ongoing conflict or communication.
Giving Them the Breakup
Accepting the breakup and giving your ex the space they asked for is another crucial step in making them miss you. Fighting the breakup or trying to convince them to come back can often have the opposite effect, pushing them away instead of drawing them closer. Accepting the breakup gracefully shows maturity and understanding. It also removes any pressure they might feel, allowing them to reflect on the relationship and your value in their life without feeling cornered.
Keeping Your Feelings Private
In today's connected world, it's tempting to share your post-breakup journey on social media or with friends in common. However, maintaining a level of privacy about your feelings and actions post-breakup can be more effective in making your ex miss you. This approach has several benefits:
-
Creates Mystery: Not knowing how you are coping or what you are up to can make your ex more curious about you, potentially leading to them missing you more.
-
Prevents Misinterpretation: Sharing too much about your post-breakup life can lead to misinterpretations or assumptions from your ex that might not be in your favor.
-
Shows Emotional Strength: Keeping your emotions and actions private demonstrates emotional strength and independence, traits that are often attractive.
Embracing Personal Growth
During the no contact period, focus on personal growth and happiness. Engage in activities that you enjoy, work on personal goals, and spend time with friends and family. This not only helps in your healing process but also improves your overall well-being, making you more attractive to your ex and others.

Conclusion
The strategy of "how to make my ex miss me fast" centers around creating a sense of absence and independence. The no contact rule, accepting the breakup gracefully, and keeping your post-breakup journey private are effective ways to foster this. Remember, the goal is not just to make your ex miss you but also to work on yourself and emerge from the breakup as a stronger, more fulfilled individual. Whether or not this leads to a reunion with your ex, these steps will aid in your personal growth and emotional well-being.

Understanding the Dynamics of Post-Breakup Emotions and Strategies
I'm Coach Lee, and today I want to share insights into a question that often plagues those enduring the aftermath of a breakup: does your ex know that you still love them? This concern is prevalent among many who still harbor feelings for their ex and wish to reconcile.
The Misconception of Indifference
A common tactic I've observed is people acting cold or indifferent towards their ex. They ignore texts, calls, and even respond harshly. This behavior stems from a misconception of what is deemed the 'right' thing to do. Ironically, this approach can lead to frustration and confusion. For instance, a woman once confided in me about ignoring her ex-boyfriend's attempts to reach out three times within a week. She was puzzled when he eventually stopped trying to contact her. In such scenarios, it's crucial to understand that complete disregard can be more harmful than arguments or disagreements. Ignoring someone can be interpreted as a lack of interest or rejection, which often leads the other person to move on.
The Balance of Hope and Reservation
It's essential to strike a balance. While it's important to convey some hope of reconciliation, maintaining a level of reservation is equally vital. Some individuals err by overly emphasizing their willingness to reconcile, unwittingly facilitating an easy breakup. They remove the element of consequence from their ex's decision to end the relationship, creating an assumption that reconciliation could happen effortlessly.
The Psychology of an Ex
From my studies on post-breakup psychology, I can affirm that most ex-partners presume you still hold feelings for them. They often believe that winning you back would be straightforward, primarily because they initiated the breakup. This assumption positions them as more desirable, diminishing your perceived value. However, this dynamic can shift. Sometimes, an ex might fear losing you for good, especially when they sense you might move on. This fear can be advantageous, as it prompts them to reassess their decision and acknowledge the value of what they've relinquished.
The Power of No Contact
This brings us to the strategy of no contact, a method I've seen yield positive results in numerous cases. By not reaching out or showing overt concern, you introduce a sense of mystery and uncertainty. Your ex begins to question the breakup and may start to regret taking you for granted. However, it's crucial to note that this strategy doesn't guarantee success in every situation, but it's often effective in making an ex reconsider their actions and potentially reignite their interest in you.
Encouraging Reconsideration
A significant part of this process involves allowing your ex to experience the reality of the breakup. In the immediate aftermath, they might feel relief, but with time, they might start to miss what you both shared. If during this period, they perceive that you might be slipping away, the urgency to reconnect can intensify.
Respecting Yourself in the Process
It's vital to approach this situation with self-respect and dignity. While it's natural to want to alleviate any discomfort your ex might feel, doing so can be counterproductive if you're hoping for reconciliation. You shouldn't teach your ex that they can break up with you without consequence. Instead, it's important to show them that you value yourself enough to move on, even if it's not what you desire.
The Risk of Misunderstanding Concern
There's a misconception that showing your ex you no longer love them might deter them from coming back. However, the opposite is often true. Instilling a sense of loss and concern in your ex is more likely to make them realize the gravity of their decision. It's about striking a balance between showing some level of detachment while still being open to the possibility of reconciliation.
Conclusion
So, does your ex know you still love them? If you're asking this question, the answer is likely yes. Your focus should be on subtly challenging this assumption.
Creating a sense of doubt in their mind can be the catalyst for them to reconsider their decision and potentially lead to a successful reunion. Remember, the goal is not just to get back together but to foster a relationship where both partners value and respect each other.

Navigating Uncertainty: Understanding Your Ex's True Desires
Introduction: I'm Coach Lee, and today I'll explore the complexities of understanding whether your ex genuinely knows what they want post-breakup. Often, the words spoken during the emotional turmoil of a breakup don't paint the full picture of one's feelings or future decisions. This guide will delve into the psychological landscape post-breakup, offering insight into the potential for reconciliation and personal growth.
1. Breakup Pronouncements: Temporary or Permanent? Often, what's said during a breakup represents a moment's feeling or a theoretical stance rather than a permanent desire. The initial relief or conviction can fade, leading to regret or reconsideration, especially under the no contact rule.
2. The Power of No Contact: Implementing the no contact rule can dramatically alter the post-breakup dynamic. It allows your ex to experience the reality of your absence, often leading to a reevaluation of their decision. This period of absence can shift perceptions and reignite appreciation for the relationship.
3. The Relief Stage: Directly following the breakup, many exes experience a relief stage, feeling unburdened by the decision. However, this stage is often temporary. As the reality of separation settles in, the lack of communication and growing distance might instigate a sense of loss and regret.
4. Misunderstanding the Concept of Want: Just as someone might desire the idea of a pet without understanding the responsibilities, your ex might have longed for freedom or change without fully grasping the emotional repercussions of losing you. When faced with the practical and emotional consequences, their resolve might waver.
5. The Importance of Giving Space: By allowing your ex to experience life without you, you're not only respecting their initial decision but also setting the stage for possible reconsideration. Your absence highlights your value and might lead to them missing the companionship and intimacy shared.
6. The Risk of Communication: Keeping lines open might seem like a way to stay connected, but it can prolong the healing process and prevent your ex from fully understanding their loss. It's vital to resist the urge to reach out, maintaining dignity and allowing them to experience your absence fully.
7. Observing Changes in Attitude: As time passes, your ex might exhibit signs of doubt or regret, often reaching out casually to test the waters. Responding with strength and positivity, without desperation, can further influence their perception and potential desire to reconnect.
8. Understanding the Power of Loss: Recognizing the importance of feeling loss is key in understanding what one truly wants. Until your ex fears losing you, they might not fully comprehend the value of the relationship or what life is like without you.
Conclusion: Your ex's statements during or immediately after a breakup might not fully represent their long-term feelings or decisions. By understanding the emotional journey post-breakup and implementing strategies like no contact, you can navigate this uncertain period with more clarity and purpose, opening the door to potential reconciliation or personal growth. Whether they return or not, understanding the psychology behind their actions and your response can lead to a stronger sense of self and clearer future relationships.

How To Control Anxiety

Navigating Anxiety: Practical Strategies for Control
Introduction:
Hello, I'm Coach Lee, and today I'm going to walk you through effective techniques to manage and control your anxiety. Often, we try to battle our anxious feelings, but this resistance only strengthens their grip. Instead, let's adopt a more insightful approach to understand, address, and navigate anxiety.
1. Acceptance Over Resistance:
Fighting anxiety is like adding fuel to the fire. It increases your stress and makes the feeling more formidable. Accept that it's part of your current experience. Observe its presence, feel where it resides in your body, and understand its nature. By observing rather than opposing, you minimize the struggle and reduce one layer of the problem.
2. Identifying the Cause:
Understanding the root of your anxiety is crucial. Reflect on what specific situations, thoughts, or expectations are triggering your anxiety. Is it something tangible and present, or more about uncertain future events? Pinpointing the cause helps in addressing it directly and forms the basis of your action plan.
3. Creating a Worry List:
Instead of pushing your anxious thoughts away, list them. This tangible act of writing down your worries serves two purposes: it helps you confront and organize your thoughts and provides a physical reminder that you can manage and refer back to. This list becomes a tool for reflection rather than a collection of abstract, unmanageable fears.
4. Scheduled Worry Time:
Allocate a specific time each day dedicated to worrying. This might sound counterintuitive, but it allows you to contain the anxiety within a controlled environment. During this time, permit yourself to fully delve into your worries without judgment. Outside this time, remind yourself that you've designated a special time for these thoughts, allowing you to focus on the present moment outside of this period.
5. Stopping Anxiety in its Tracks:
When you sense anxiety creeping up, gently remind yourself that now is not the scheduled time. Assure yourself that there will be a time and place to address these feelings fully. This method helps prevent anxiety from spilling over into every aspect of your life, helping maintain a sense of normalcy and control.
6. Solo Worry Sessions:
Try to conduct your worry sessions in solitude. Other people might inadvertently escalate your anxiety or try to solve your worries for you, which isn't always helpful. Alone, you can face your thoughts directly and process them without outside influence, leading to more authentic and effective introspection.
7. Questioning Anxiety:
Regularly challenge your anxious thoughts with positivity or alternative outcomes. Even if you don't fully believe what you're countering with, the act of considering other possibilities creates a mental space for doubt against the anxiety and slowly chips away at its validity.
8. Do You Have a Plan?
For each item on your worry list, ask yourself, "What's my plan for addressing this?" Plans provide structure and a sense of control. They turn intangible fears into actionable steps. And when you resolve an issue, physically crossing it off your list provides a sense of accomplishment and relief.
9. Reflect on Past Triumphs:
Remind yourself of the times you've successfully navigated through anxious periods. This reflection reinforces the understanding that anxiety, while challenging, is not insurmountable. You have a history of overcoming it, and this instance is no different.
10. Living in the Moment:
Anxiety often pulls us into the past or catapults us into the future. Counter this by grounding yourself in the present. Focus on your breathing, the environment around you, or engage in mindfulness practices. This moment-to-moment awareness is a powerful tool in maintaining control over runaway thoughts.
Conclusion:
By employing these strategies, you're not only addressing your anxiety but learning to coexist with it in a healthier, more controlled manner. Remember, visiting MyAnxietyPeace.com can provide additional resources and personalized coaching to further assist you in your journey to overcome anxiety. Always remind yourself that you are capable, and with each step, you're regaining control over your mental and emotional well-being.

Should I Ignore My Ex?
Sunday Jan 09, 2022
Sunday Jan 09, 2022
In this video Coach Lee answers the question, "Should I ignore my ex?" Lee is operating under the assumption that you want your ex back and are wondering if you should ignore them when they reach out to you while you are following the No Contact Rule. Get Coach Lee's Emergency Breakup Kit at: https://myexbackcoach.com/emergency-breakup-kit/
In the realm of relationships and breakups, the advice to "play hard to get" often surfaces, especially when considering how to respond if an ex shows interest in rekindling a romance.
However, there's a nuanced difference between playing hard to get and outright ignoring someone, particularly an ex who may be seeking reconciliation. While it might seem counterintuitive, completely ignoring your ex could lead to unintended consequences, potentially closing the door on a relationship that both parties might genuinely want to revive.
The concept of the "no contact rule" often gets misinterpreted in this context. Popularly advised in breakup scenarios, this rule suggests a period of no communication immediately following a split.
The primary purpose is to allow emotional healing and personal growth, rather than to manipulate or punish your ex. It's about creating space for both individuals to evaluate their feelings and priorities independently. This period of silence is not meant to be a game of who can ignore the other longer; rather, it's a time for introspection and self-improvement.
A crucial aspect often overlooked is that the no contact rule is typically about not initiating contact, not about ignoring the other person completely. If you're still interested in getting back together and your ex reaches out, shutting them out entirely contradicts your goal.
Ignoring someone who is making an effort to communicate can send a message of disinterest or spite. It might lead your ex to believe you've moved on or that you're unwilling to even consider reconciliation. This misunderstanding could cause them to give up on the relationship entirely, thinking their efforts are unappreciated or unwelcome.
In practice, if your ex reaches out during the no contact period, and you are interested in re-establishing the relationship, it's important to approach the situation thoughtfully.
Acknowledging their effort to communicate shows maturity and respect, even if you decide to maintain some distance. It's about finding a balance between showing interest and maintaining the space you need for personal growth.
It's also important to remember that the no contact rule isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Every relationship is unique, and what works for one couple may not work for another. The rule should serve as a guideline for taking time for yourself, not as a strict protocol to be followed without considering the specific dynamics of your relationship.
In the end, effective communication is key in any relationship, especially when navigating the complexities of a breakup and potential reconciliation. Playing games or adhering to rigid rules without considering the feelings and intentions of both parties can lead to misunderstandings and missed opportunities.
If getting back together is a mutual interest, then open, honest, and respectful communication should be the foundation upon which any renewed relationship is built. Ignoring your ex, especially when they're reaching out, might close the door on a future that both of you could value.

Understanding Remorse: The Journey of an Ex Post-Breakup
By Coach Lee
The emotional aftermath of a breakup isn't exclusive to the person who was left; the initiator often traverses through a series of emotional stages, sometimes leading to regret. Recognizing these phases can provide insight into what your ex might be feeling and potentially guide you towards a path of reconciliation. Here are five emotional stages an ex might journey through after they've initiated a breakup.
1. The Discomfort of Uncertainty
Post-breakup, the initiator often grapples with the uncertainty surrounding their decision. This initial phase is marked by a growing discomfort as they begin to question whether ending the relationship was the correct choice. Particularly when you maintain a dignified silence and don't exhibit the expected signs of desperation, they might start reconsidering the implications of their decision, realizing it might not yield the positive outcomes they anticipated.
2. Desire for Affirmation
At this juncture, your ex might subtly or overtly seek validation of their desirability and importance. They might initiate contact, not with the explicit intention to reconcile but to elicit responses from you that reaffirm their attractiveness and worth. This behavior is often driven by ego rather than a genuine interest in rekindling the relationship. They seek to confirm that you are still emotionally invested and affected by the breakup, which in turn, soothes their ego.
3. The Rebound Phase
In an attempt to quickly move on or fill the void left by your relationship, your ex might hastily enter into another relationship, commonly referred to as a rebound. This stage is characterized by an attempt to prove their self-worth and desirability through someone else's attention. Rebounds are typically superficial and ephemeral, as they are rooted in avoidance of genuine emotional processing rather than a sincere effort to move forward.
4. A Period of Reflection and Realization
As the initial euphoria of newfound freedom and rebound relationships fades, a period of introspection often follows. Your ex may start to reminisce about the positive aspects of your relationship, acknowledging the depth of connection and companionship they've lost. It's during this reflective period that the weight of their decision truly sinks in, and they begin to experience a genuine sense of loss and longing for what was left behind.
5. Seeking Connection Through Friendship
In the final stage of their emotional journey, your ex might extend an offer of friendship or some semblance of continued connection. This proposition often serves as a non-committal way to keep you in their life, a strategy to mitigate the fear of complete loss while they navigate through their complex emotions. It provides them a sense of security, allowing them to maintain proximity to you without fully committing to the relationship again.
Conclusion:
Navigating the aftermath of a breakup requires an understanding of the emotional stages both parties might experience. Recognizing these stages in your ex can provide clarity and strategy in your responses, especially if you're considering the possibility of reconciliation. While these stages provide a general guide, remember that each relationship and individual's emotional journey is unique.
