If you are going to be seeing each other again, you will want to work on the issues that caused the break-up in the first place. It was not just your fault. The fact is it takes two people to have a relationship. If both of you agree to give it another chance, it will take two who want to change the way they have dealt with things in the past.

Since the things you want to do differently this time around should still be fresh in your mind, you may want to go over them and make a vow to each other that these aspects of your life will be different. Do not reiterate. Just say it once and then do it. There is no point in promising over and over that things are going to change and then making the same mistakes you have made previously.

If you really want to get your ex back and are willing to work on your end, show them you mean what you say. Actions speak louder than words and if your actions show your ex that you are trying on making up, this will give them the incentive to try as well.
