Some Positive Habits That Can Help You Through a Divorce

The divorce process can be emotionally and logistically quite difficult. In addition to working with an attorney and allowing them to guide you through the process, you should also make it a point to develop some healthy, positive habits that will keep you in the right mindset and help you get a positive outcome in your divorce.

Here are a few examples.

• Be proactive: You can feel like you’re in greater control of your divorce (and your life) if you are proactive about taking action, rather than reacting to the circumstances around you. Think about the goals you have and the specific steps you can take to achieve them, both in your case and in your personal life. What do you want your life to look like moving forward?
• Be kind to yourself: Talk yourself up. Be kind to yourself. Building skills and habits of self-affirmation is so important for people going through a divorce, as during that process you may well start to feel down or begin to judge yourself. It’s easier said than done, but try to focus on the positive things in your life that are going to propel you forward.
• Solve problems: It can feel like you’re making progress in your divorce and in your life when you’re able to solve problems and cross items off to-do lists. These don’t have to be big problems or tasks, but it can feel good to be able to cross anything off at all. It will help you feel like you’re in control of your case and your life.
