Here are 15 ways you can bring the happiness and the joy back in your life post divorce:
Go online or surf through the quotation books and write the most inspirational quotes that resonate with your situation and post them throughout your house and work in different parts, so that each time of the day when you look at them you feel inspired.
You can never recover from your divorce unless you are looking to recover from it. Make sure you are hell-bent on healing and it will eventually follow.
Laughter is the best remedy. When you start to think of your ex or what might have been, put on a funny DVD on your favorite standup comedians and enjoy the show.
Close the curtains, close the door, power up the music and fire away. Sing, dance, just let your free spirit out and let it enjoy the music.
If you are a fan of reading, instead of letting your mind wander off in the events of your divorce, simply grab a good book that soothes your soul or captures your imagination.
When you are going through a rough patch, it is important that you develop a motto, an affirmation that you can tell yourself everyday when the going gets tough to keep your morale up.
Nature is the best healer, get outside, walk in the sunshine, smell the flowers and have a nice walk through the garden, all of these will help you erase the gloom in your life.
You situation may be bad, but when you help someone less fortunate, you’ll see how their situation is even worse. Helping someone in need will also make you feel emotionally and spiritually good.
You need a distraction in life and raising a pet could be just that, and they are often excellent companions.
Cut down or limit consumption of beer, wine and cocktails. Alcohol is only a temporarily relief that can sometimes lead to other problems. Find other avenues of relief, like exercise.
Bake a cake if you love to bake; if you are into art make a painting; create a sculpture, since art and creativity are the best release of emotions.
When you are down and out, seek refuge with your family, they’ll show you the care and the love you deserve.
Talk to our friends, tell them you have gone through divorce and the best ones will rush to your side and make sure you are happy.
There may well be sleepless night, but for your health and your happiness, try to get a good night’s sleep as often as possible.
If you want to get divorced, make sure you choose a method that is consultative and empowering which lets you take the decision of your divorce yourself and continue to be on amicable terms with your ex spouse. Divorce mediation will make the divorce process easier, and in turn, it will make the post-divorce recovery much smoother and quicker.
