Well, it takes time. There's nothing specific that you can just "do" to whisk yourself from being broken hearted one minute to being happy the next.
But there are a lot of things that can help to move you away from being sad.
Get involved in a new activity. (Exercise, Community Projects, New hobby etc)
You will be able to meet a lot of new people, which means making new friends, and keeping your mind off of why you're so sad.
Be active.
Don't sink into the junk food pit.
Laugh.
Discover new things about yourself.
Express yourself in written word. Keeping a personal journal is always a good thing!

1. give it time. if you truly cared about someone, you can't expect to be over it right away.
2. devote your new free time to pursuing your interests. you will not only feel better about yourself, but you will meet other people who share the same interests, who may really be into you, or know someone who would be perfect for you (when the time is right for you).
3. Make yourself look as hot as possible. Enjoy all the new attention you will get.
4. Don't mope around. Get out of the house. Follow number 3 when doing so.
5. Reconnect with friends and family. They love you for who you are and will remind you who you used to be before you got all broken.
6. Hold your head up. You can't see new opportunities if you are looking down all the time.
7. Let go of the past. You can't reach out for anything new if your hand is grasped firmly around something that isn't right for you.
Man, there have been so many times when I hurt so bad I wished my life would be over and just as many times that I'm glad it wasn't. You will hit a high point again in no time, hang in there and learn from this experience!

Each and everyday I told myself that I deserved better than what my ex had done to me.
It was painful at first, but that positive affirmation eventually eased my broken- heart and I was able to get over the hurt.
I waited quite a while before I got involved with anyone else because I wanted to completely heal from my previous disastrous relationship.
I learned the lessons from that previous relationship and moved forward.
One important lesson was this: I cannot control what another person does but I can control what I will and will not accept from that person.

The pain will gradually fade in time. What makes it difficult is our constant thoughts about that specific relationship. We're often thinking back of good moments, sometimes not by force, it just sneaks up on you. Other times we think about how the same relationship could have ended up. When it comes down to it we're just letting the mind take us through these unconscious trips that really has nothing to do with the current situation, which is you're no longer with that person and its time to accept it and move on.
Try to keep yourself busy. I always recommend it exercising to people whenever they ask this question.

This is a loaded question. At this very time, my partner told me that he had feelings for his best friend (our room mate) after being together for 1 year. He never gave me a reason as to why we are not together anymore. I will never understand what happened between us. We will continue to be friends because he is very special to me.
Time will heal your pain. The entire time that you were in the relationship you thought with your heart now it is time to think with your head. You have to think about yourself before anyone else. I know this may be hard but trust me it has to be done.
Spend time with friends and family. Try not to be alone because that will only make you think about the relationship. Keep your head up and just always remember if it was meant to be then it will be. Good luck!

If you are a human with feelings and emotions, then there is nothing that you can do. The only thing that heals a broken heart is time.
It also helps to keep things in perspective. For example, someday, I promise you, you will fall in love with a person who is even better. That day, you will thank God for the prayers that were not answered.

It took me a few months but, I made it!!! Don't listen to sad songs, don;t go to the places you used to go to, try to cut off all communication with that person... start dating guys/girls you want to be friends with... explain that you are not ready for a relationship (doesn't make sense for more people to get hurt).. start realizing all that you have to offer, recognize what a great person you are.... and see that the other person was the biggest loser!! And believe it!! I am no longer sad... I am glad he broke up with me... he did me a huge favor..

Take a break fron the whole situation. Go on a fishing trip, take hike, go camping. Do some volunteer work. Don't just sit and brood, and don't jump right into another relationship.

You won't just bounce back but you gotta just dust yourself off, get up and keep going. Yes time heals but sometimes you gotta speed up the process. Get out there and enjoy life as it comes...something great is just around the corner...and for some those corners come faster than others...keep your head up champ!
