While it can be easier said than done, sometimes forcing yourself to embrace the power of positive thinking can make a big difference in your ability to emotionally navigate your divorce. Building these positive habits takes time and practice, of course, but it can be quite valuable to your emotional health.
Here are a few quick examples of some of these habits:
- Talking yourself up: When you’re going through a difficult time it’s easy to get down on yourself and focus on the negatives. You might judge yourself for spending too much money, for not working enough, for not focusing on your children enough, etc. It’s important to get into the habit of affirming yourself on a daily basis and to give yourself permission to focus on yourself every now and then. There are entire books written on this subject that you may find helpful.
- Take control: Be proactive with going after what you want out of your new life rather than reactive and waiting for your new life to turn into what you want. Feeling like you have control over your life is a great way to improve your spirits and your confidence.
- Solve little problems: It’s common for people going through or just out of a divorce to be overwhelmed with the number of problems or issues they need to confront. Solving little problems and checking them off your list can help you build confidence and momentum that allows you to take on some of the bigger ones.
