Despite the tremendous loss, I chose to rise to a place of
integrity andmental wealth. It iswithin the place of integrity,
we find peace and freedom to move forward. –K.
The judgments of others can be overwhelming
during the separation and divorce process. Yep,
everyone has an opinion. Few of those who offer
their opinion, served straight up, no ice, have ever
lived it.
How, you may ask, in the midst of the pain and
judgment, can a person survive daily living and
build the skills of resiliency and strength? Here are
six tips to not just survive, but thrive!!
Get off the Pity Party Train (1 year
)
For healing to begin it is necessary to shift from
victim to survivor. It won’t change the pain youmay
have suffered, the abuse you may have endured,
or the utter sense of loss you may feel.
Shatter the Rearview Mirror
Release, Recover, and Renew. It is comfortable
and easy to mentally spend days reliving the past.
Human nature compels us to analyze, scrutinize,
and pulverize all of our actions. Trust me, it is not
worth the energy. Spending your days looking in the
rearview mirror is a waste of time.
Your ex is no longer yours to fix.
They won’t
change, deal with it.
You’re (perhaps) Financially Broke, now deal with it.
Yes, yes, there will be a lifestyle adjustment
for you and your ex-husband. A common
misperception and stigma are that the man is
broke, and the woman took him for all he was
worth! That is not reality. In today’s society,
most families enjoy two-incomes, so the lifestyle
changes for both people. Fact, on average it will
be 3-5 years before the financial dust settles. Do
