Any way you slice it love is a risk, but it is still a risk that we all should be willing to take. As hard as it is to heal from a broken heart, getting past your heartbreak makes love possible in the future. When you are able to move forward and learn from your heartbreak you will be able to lower the risks of potential heartbreak in the future.
Here are some steps I have learned from my own heartbreak journey to help you heal your broken heart so you can love again, because girl I know you're thinking to yourself...WHAT's The DUCKING POINT 
-
Take the time you need. Popular opion would say that the best way to get over someone is to date another, but take a break. Pull yourself together this can take 3 months, 6 months, even a whole year. Until you’ve pulled yourself together, the decision you will likely make will be unwise. Not to mention it is also unfair to the next person that falls for you as your heart isn't trully available.
-
Learn from the break up. It would be a shame to repeat your past mistakes. Take this opportunity to reflect and learn from your painful experience. Is there anything you can do to prevent the same result from occurring again in the future? Don't know what to journal on download my free Breakup Recovery Journal.

GO NO/MODARATE CONTACT. If you have children with your ex, this can apply just do moderate contact. This means strictly being in communication only about the child and the childrens needs, nothing more or less. Keep everything professional. Treat your ex like a coworker. Avoide being friendly,sharing old memories, and jokes. Put your childs needs before your owns and remember that even though it is hard to get over your ex, your child deserves to not feel confused over the situation.
-
Get rid of everything that reminds you of them. That includes the pictures, love letters, Christmas presents,etc. You probably want to save a few mementos of your time together, but they won’t matter to you in a year.
-
If you can’t bring yourself to throw them away, at least box them up and put them in the back of the closet. See how much they mean to you in 6 months.
-
Turn to your friends/family. Our natural reaction to a breakup is to isolate ourselves. This rarely helps. Avoid sitting around the house by yourself. Get out and be social. Call your friends and suggest a night on the town. Meet for lunch. Spend time with those who care about you.
-
Avoid the urge to overanalyze the situation. It’s human nature to analyze every minute detail of the relationship, but there are rarely answers to be found in overanalyzing. You’ll likely confuse yourself, come the wrong conclusions, and make poor choices going forward.
-
Spend time on self-development. Instead of sulking, spend the time working on yourself. Now is the perfect time to discover your wants and needs as you aren't the same person you were a year ago. Take care of your wants/needs, get better with your finances, grow in your purpose!
Dealing with heartache is a part of living. Getting over a breakup isn’t fun, but a day will come when you go 24 hours without thinking about them. Then a week will pass. Eventually, they’ll just be a distant memory as you move forward with a more joyous life.
