Life comes with many difficulties, and divorce can be one of the worst. The pain doesn't just go away when you decide to end it. It drags on as you live separate lives and heal emotionally. It will take time—there's no fighting that—but you can ease through it using these five steps:
- Get Up and Get Motivated
Get up in the morning, go outside, and get home to get a good night's sleep. Hiding away leads to depression, so avoid that. Keep busy, find yourself again, and begin to reconstruct your life.
- Take Care of Yourself
Your partner isn't looking out for you anymore. You'll need to take care of yourself, rebuild your social network, and you'll also need to shower.
- Avoid Unnecessary Contact with Your Ex
You may be tempted to reach out to your ex or, at the very least, spy on them using Facebook. Don't. This doesn't help either of you in the healing process. You may still have to talk to each other, but keep it to a minimum. Go out and meet new people or use Facebook to reach out to old friends.
- Develop a New Budget
Since you won't be sharing assets and expenses with anyone, you must develop a new budget. Give up the things you don't want or trigger bad emotional responses. Divvy up the belongings and assets, like who keeps the house. At The Law Office of Rebecca J. Carrillo, our San Antonio divorce attorneys have experience with handling high net-worth divorces, and can help you through the legal side of the healing process.
- Express Yourself
What's most important for emotional healing is that you express yourself. Try something creative or help others to better channel your energy. Be constructive about your feelings, and if you need help, don't be afraid to ask a friend or seek out a therapist.
