Starting over…a divorce help guide 🥰🤍

#lemon8diarychallenge

Hey everyone! This is my very first lemon8 post so I want share a not so popular topic as it’s been 5 years since my very traumatic divorce and learning how to move on and regain myself.

1) Focus on YOU. I find that we as women naturally give, to others, friends, kids, etc. and put ourselves last. Pretend you are your child or your best friend that is asking you to take care of them and do the same for yourself. #extraselfcare

2) Exercise and connect with the Earth/Sun daily. Moving your body produces endorphins and reduces stress which there will be plenty of. Sunshine provides vitamin D and happiness 🤗. Do whichever activity you enjoy even if just for a few minutes. It’s life changing.

3) Take on a BIG goal. Seems counterintuitive right? But when you are down and sad (in my case feeling less than) accomplishments or even the process of small wins build us back stronger. And when you are on the other side you have a such an appreciation for what you were able to do! 💪🏾 #strength

4) Lean on your support system. They will understand you need support if they are your people. A divorce is painful and hurtful so reach out! #divorcediary

5) Realize it will take time to love again and move through. Usually healing takes half the time of the relationship so expect it and allow the feelings and memories to come up but don’t dwell on what was lost. #betteriscoming

I hope this helps some. Sending you all love 💖 and light 🕊️always.

Let me know if you want to hear more specifics of my story and healing process in the comments.

2024/10/15 Edited to

Moving on after a divorce can be an emotionally challenging process, but it also presents a unique opportunity for self-discovery and personal growth. Start by prioritizing self-care, ensuring you allocate time each day to focus on your needs and feelings. Incorporate regular physical activity into your routine; exercise not only boosts your mood through the release of endorphins but also helps you reconnect with your body and mind. Consider setting small, achievable goals that lead to larger accomplishments over time, fostering a sense of achievement and purpose. Surrounding yourself with supportive friends and family can significantly ease the pain of healing. Do not hesitate to reach out for help when needed. Lastly, give yourself grace and patience as you navigate this process. Remember that healing takes time, and embracing each step is crucial for moving forward into a more joyful, fulfilling phase of life.
