4 Steps to Manifesting Your Ex Back

1. Get clear on why you want your ex back

Before manifesting your ex back, it’s crucial to understand exactly why you want them in your life. This is because clear intentions allow you to align your energy and vibration with your desired outcome.

Ask yourself the following questions:

  • Why do I want my ex back?
  • Do I truly want them or just the comfort of a relationship?
  • Would I be happy with them or am I afraid of being alone?
  • Can I accept if they don’t return?
  • Should I move on?

Take a moment to really think deeply about these questions, and then write your honest answers in a journal, along with your ex’s name. Approach the process with positivity and love, as negative intentions won’t yield the desired results.

For example:

  • Negative intention: “I want my ex back to make them suffer.”
  • Positive intention: “I want my ex back for a happy, loving relationship.”

Understanding the difference is key.

2. Visualize that you’re back together

Once you have a clear idea of what you want, the next step is to visualize that outcome happening. Visualization is the process of picturing something in your mind. It’s a powerful tool that can help you manifest your goals because it allows you to see yourself achieving them. And, when you see yourself achieving your goals, it becomes more likely that you will take steps to make it happen.

I’ve spent countless hours visualizing all sorts of things. It’s like watching a movie in your head, and it’s surprising how real it can feel.

Follow these steps to practice visualizing your ex back:

  1. Find a quiet, uninterrupted space and close your eyes.
  2. Take deep breaths, focusing on each inhalation and exhalation.
  3. Imagine your ex standing before you, noting their appearance, voice, and scent.
  4. Envision a happy, healthy relationship with your ex, including enjoyable activities together.
  5. Feel the emotions tied to being reunited, such as butterflies, joy, and love.
  6. When finished, take deep breaths and open your eyes.

Practice this visualization daily for 5-10 minutes, enhancing the emotions and details each time for a more realistic experience.

3. Let go of self-limiting beliefs

Everyone has self-doubt, but for manifestation to work, you must get rid of these self-limiting beliefs. These negative thoughts can manifest into reality, so you need to replace your old limiting beliefs with positive ones.

Common self-limiting beliefs in relationships include:

  • I’m unworthy of love.
  • I’ll be lonely forever.
  • They don’t love me.
  • I’m not good enough for them.

Replace these negative affirmations with positive ones:

  • I am worthy of good things in my life.
  • I deserve love.
  • I am valuable and worthwhile.
  • The universe brings the right people into my life.
  • I’m a great partner.

You can check out our articles here for more affirmations to get your ex back. Repeat affirmations multiple times daily, genuinely believing and feeling the emotions behind each word. By letting go of negative beliefs, you open yourself up to the universe’s positive possibilities.

4. Let go of the outcome

Though challenging, releasing attachment to the outcome is crucial for successful manifestation. Attachment can create barriers, as it involves trying to control the universe. A relaxed, open mind allows the universe to deliver what’s best for you. Being attached generates stress and tension, which hinders manifestation.

I’ve learned the hard way that trying to control everything gets you nowhere. Letting go is scary, but it’s also incredibly freeing.

To release attachment when it comes to manifesting your ex back:

  • Trust that the universe will provide what you want.
  • Have faith that everything will work out.
  • Be patient, as manifestation can take time.
  • Accept not knowing when or how it will occur.

The more you trust and let go, the better the outcome.

What to Avoid When Manifesting Your Ex Back

I’ve made all these mistakes before, which is why I want to share them with you so you can avoid them:

  • Expecting overnight results: We live in an instant world where we want everything and we want it now. However, that’s not how manifestation works. Manifesting takes time and you need to be patient. The good news is that there are a few ways to know if your manifestation will happen soon, so check out our article on that.
  • Manifesting from a place of negativity: Negative energy is the biggest blockage to manifestation. If you’re trying to manifest your ex back while feeling angry, resentful, or hurt, then you won’t get anywhere. Instead, you want to focus on manifesting from a place of love. When you can let go of the anger and hurt and focus on love, you’ll be in a much better position to attract your ex back.
  • Trying to control the situation: There are some things in life that we can’t control, no matter how much we want to, and that’s okay! Trying to control the situation will only make it harder for you to manifest your ex back. Remember, part of manifesting is trusting that the universe will provide.
  • Being vague about what you want: When you’re manifesting, you need to be specific about what you want. For example, don’t just say that you want your ex back. Instead, be specific on why you want them back and what kind of relationship you want to have. Do you want to get back together and be in a committed relationship? Do you want to be friends with your ex? Do you want to date casually?

Questions You Might Have:

Can you manifest your ex even if they have moved on?

Yes, you can absolutely manifest your ex even if they have seemingly moved on.

The key is to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want.

So rather than dwelling on the fact that your ex has moved on, focus on the positive qualities that you would like to see in a new relationship with them.

Can you manifest your ex to go to school with you?

Yes, you can manifest your ex to go to school with you. 

To do this you want to focus on what you want, not on what you don’t want

If you find yourself thinking about your ex and what you don’t want (such as them going to school with someone else), then shift your focus to what you do want.

Imagine yourself attending school with your ex and picturing the two of you having a great time together.

Visualize yourselves enjoying each other’s company and succeeding in your studies.

How long does it take to manifest your ex back?

There is no definitive answer to this question.

Some people have reported success in as little as a few weeks, while others have taken longer.

The key is to focus on your goal and trust that the universe will provide what you want in due time.

Is it possible to manifest your ex back if they were the one who broke up with you?

Yes, it is definitely possible to manifest your ex back even if they were the ones who ended things.

First, you need to take a step back and assess what went wrong in the relationship.

Then, focus on changing the traits about yourself that contributed to the breakup.

Finally, let go of any negative feelings about the break-up and focus on what you want in a new relationship with your ex.

These steps are difficult because they require a lot of introspection, self-awareness, and deep inner work.

But if you’re committed to manifesting your ex back, then these steps are essential.


Final Thoughts

The universe will provide what you want if you believe in it, trust it, and allow your thoughts to manifest. You can use positive affirmations or visualization techniques to help make the process of getting back together with an ex easier. Trust that your thoughts will bring your ex back to you. When you believe in yourself, the universe responds with positivity, and good things happen. It may take some time, and you need to be patient, but it will happen.

That’s all for how to manifest an ex back, but if you’re still struggling to manifest a relationship, you can find out four reasons why.
