Now that you've recognized it's time to break free from that past relationship, the next question comes down to how do we do that? As cheesy and cliche as this may sound the answer is simple: self love.

This is often the hardest part as it requires forgiveness, love and an understanding of your own self-worth.

Whether or not you did something that brought your relationship to an end, we still must forgive ourselves for the mere fact that the relationship ended and we couldn't make it work. We must also learn to truly love who we are as a person and recognize all of our wonderful traits that will attract future partners into our lives. From there, it's an understanding of our self-worth and that we do deserve love. During heart break, it's so easy to get caught up in our own negative thoughts, but with a little positive self-talk, we can see how deserving of love we really are.
