Breaking up is hard — or is it? I guess it all depends on who’s breaking up and who’s on the receiving end of the anvil to the heart. Whether it’s casual dating that goes nowhere or a long-standing commitment that goes south, how we deal with our hearts makes all the difference.

I’ve certainly had my share of disintegrated relationships — from guys totaling blowing me off after several dates to having cold, calculated conversations on the side of Baja Fresh, telling me, “It’s over.” I’m not sure which is worse, and I’m no angel when it comes to ending a relationship either, but I’ve learned, and if we knew better, we’d do better — now it’s time to do better!

Whatever side of the breakup you’re standing on might expand your heart or constrict it, but it can never take away your will to love and be loved — even if it feels like hell at the time. There is a better way to complete relationships consciously instead of blowing them off or stomping on them altogether.

If you’re on the receiving end of the great divide and you feel your heart being pulled out from your chest and stepped on — remember they do not have the power to take anything…
