Making it through a divorce is one of the hardest things that you may have to face. After the divorce, you may find yourself not knowing how to get back on your feet once again or how your life is going to change.
The best way to get on with your life is to live life the way that you should. Don’t make excuses for not enjoying the things that you once loved. If you liked to go to the gym, then go. Get your routine back into action once again and live a little. This doesn’t mean that you should get back into the dating game already. You should not start dating until you are ready and nobody will really know when you are ready until you say that it is time.
If you find yourself not wanting to eat, try to eat something light. You need your strength to be able to do your daily activities and food will give you some of the strength that you need. So, eat and keep your strength up.
Have a girls or guys night out. There is nothing more fun that getting your friends together for a bash. You can do anything on this one night, go to clubs, stay home and watch some movies, go to dinner and chat away. The sky is the limits on this one night.
Get your sleeping schedule back on track. A lot of people will tend to loose sleep right after a divorce or during the divorce process. Not getting the sleep that your body requires can cause you to loose function or become sluggish. You don’t want to be tired for the rest of your life and not sleeping can cause you a lot of problems that could have been avoided.
If sleeping in your own bed is too hard, sleep on the couch. It can be hard to get back into schedule but you can do it with a little bit of effort. Sleeping in your own bed by yourself after all those years of laying next to someone, can be a chore all in it’s own. The couch seems comfortable so lay your head down and try to go to sleep, you still need to get your sleep pattern back and this may help.
If you are still feeling depressed, go for medical advice. Depression can cause you a lot of pain and sometimes medication or just simply talking to someone can help you with this depression. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself or someone else, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Clean your house even if you don’t feel up to it. A divorce can cause you to not want to do things or may make you even feel lazy when you once weren’t. Don’t let this get into the way of your clean house. When my dad got a divorce, his house was a wreck and he hadn’t cleaned it for a week. I went over there and drug him out of bed and told him that he needed to stop all of this madness before people started mistaking his house for a dump. I helped him clean up the mess and afterward he told me that he didn’t understand how he could let it go this much. He was thankful and he kept his house clean from then on. He also said that it took his mind off of a lot of things. So, clean your house before the dump trucks start coming by.
After divorce you can get your life back a little at a time. Your life may never feel like it will be the same but at least you will be living it the best that you know how.
