You don't need to completely block her out of her life now, but DO back it down a lot. Stop being the kind of close friend & confidant that you have been during the relationship. Make her have to try to get that from the new guy she is all over. Don't fulfill her daily relationship needs for him while he is getting the fun & interest & affection out of the deal.

You're better off moving on from her. It was a lousy excuse for her to break up on.

Just be platonic friends and don't get too close or you will only get hurt.
Go out and meet others and forget about her.

If you are comfortable in being friends, do. I would not recommend getting back into a relationship. Finding yourself, has nothing to do with, finding yourself in someone else's arms. That was a poor excuse for breaking it off, so I'd stay out of a relationship, because she may excuse other behaviors just as easily.
