You are in a vulnerable state of mind right now, try not to do anything you might regret. If you have your mind set on getting your ex back, that's fine. But allow yourself some personal time to work through your own issues first. After a break-up, it's probably safe to say that you have some demons you need to work out. The best thing you can do is talk to somebody you trust - a friend, a family member, a therapist. With them, you can unleash all the rage, hurt and pent-up tears you have inside. You'll feel much better after.  By talking about the break-up with someone on the outside of the situation, you are free to express every feeling and thought without the risk of doing irrevocable damage to your relationship with your ex.

You might start to see matters from a different point of view and understand where your ex was coming from. This understanding and empathy can help you to get back on the right track later. Use this break-up (even if it's only temporary) as a chance to liberate yourself. In a relationship, people tend to over-rely on their partner and forget how to function on their own. Now is your chance to recover your long-forgotten, independent self. You won't regret it.  Go places on your own, meet new people, try new things. Doing things by yourself will allow you to gain confidence and help you to feel whole again. Reconnect with your friends. Many people are guilty of neglecting their friends while in a relationship.

But don't just do it for him, do it for yourself. Exercise and healthy eating will release the good mood hormones and will give you more energy and motivation to get through your day. Getting a new job or taking up a long talked-about hobby will give you a new outlet to focus your attentions on and leave you less time to mope about the break-up. Hopefully your ex will also be impressed by your new go-get-em attitude. Just because you have your heart set on getting back with your ex doesn't mean you can't have a little fun in the meantime. Get yourself all dolled up and go out and flirt to your heart's content. If nothing else, you will be reminded that you are an attractive and interesting person and that you have plenty of other options if your relationship doesn't work out as planned.  Letting your ex see you with another guy can arouse feelings of jealousy and desire in your ex. This might make him realize that he wants you back and help you in your quest. Be careful with this tactic, however - if your ex feels that you're perfectly happy with someone else, he might move on too.
Summary: Stay calm. Talk to someone. Be independent. Take care of yourself. Work on improving yourself. Put yourself out there.
