For mirror to be made you need glass. When the first time the glass was made was so expensive that if you broke it you had to work 7 years to just pay it off. That is where this superstition comes from.
Just buy new one in its place, and I hope things start looking up for you. It is not the mirror, it is life like this sometime.

Yeh - not believing in the first place that it will bring you bad luck.
I think stuff like this only works if you believe it will.
Remember our thoughts have substance - just about everything in the physical world begins with a thought. Thoughts have power, so when you believe that breaking a mirror will bring you 7 years bad luck, or any other superstition for that matter, or curse etc you are sending that thought into the atmosphere you are giving it the opportunity to manifest into reality :)
Just stay positive and maybe try believing the opposite, that your breaking the mirror means 7 years good luck!
Seriously, it wont hurt to try - so long as you are honestly believing it :)

no but there's a good side to this!After you break a mirror and 7 years go past the next 2 years of your life will be good luck.for example:My mother told me a story that before I was born she accidentally broke a mirror and the next 7 years of her life were as bad as possible.She got De-promoted from her job for no reason started getting a hell of a lot less pay and at the end of the 7-years she lost her job for no reason!(it's gets worse by time)because she lost her job at the end of the end of the 7-years her 2-years started straight away and she got a new job as a manager for a new place straight away with got triple the pay she would get from the other place! and plus she got a lot of respect from co-workers and friends so tighten up and remember what you'll get after the 7-years!!!!!!!!!

There is nothing superstitious about it. The origin of the myth is because if a maid broke a mirror, it would take them seven years of wages to pay back the owner of the mirror.

The antidote is to throw superstition out, as you are not normally superstitious this should not be too hard for you. Remind yourself if you get a bad feeling about it, that it is just superstition, and can't affect you if you don't let it.

If breaking mirrors actually caused bad luck, how to mosaic artists make so much money.
Last I checked their lives weren't bad whatsoever (unless of course if you think hired help is bad luck)
No just incase!!! Toss it out. If you trip over tomorrow, it's because you were thinking about the darn mirror.

The mirror you broke symbolised your luck in the future. So take another mirror, associate it as the source of your bad luck and break it as aggressively as you can... this might work, but not 100%... lol

If you believe in that then things seem to happen, even if you did not break a mirror they would happen away.
Nothing to do with the mirror.
