FOR WOMEN - It's Not Yet The End: Surviving Life After Divorce (Part 2)

This is the continuation of my previous blog.
Here’s think like to the first five: It's Not Yet The End: Surviving Life After Divorce Part 1


6. Don’t Live in the Past - Always remember that past is nothing but memory. For sure you and ex-husband had some great memories together because you wouldn’t have stayed together if both of you did not have any good times. This doesn’t mean that you cannot think of the memories, but do not dwell on it. Memories are just memories and nothing will change even if you keep on thinking about it. Past is already past and all you can do is learn from it but you can never change it or return it. You cannot bring it back! Just think of yourself that there are more fantastic moments that is waiting for you. Don’t live in the past and just think of your future because that is what’s important.

7. Don’t Drown Yourself in Guilt - Divorce happens because of two people often quarrelling and having misunderstandings and through this you’ve probably said few things that you didn’t mean and you are regretting about it now, but you cannot change anything anymore. Just apologize to your ex, but don’t expect the apology to change anything. Forgive yourself and learn from it.

8. Re-Discover Yourself - I’m sure while having a relationship with your ex-husband, you must have changed yourself backwards to satisfy him. Now that you are back to single, it’s time to start living for yourself. Do the things that you love and will make you happy and increase your self-confidence. Go get a new hair-cut, re-arrange everything and enrol on a course that you like. Do everything you like, but this time, do it not for anyone but for yourself.

9. Sort out Your Finances - Financial situations will surely change if you become single and it’s important that you know exactly how much you earn. It’s easy to start over-spending just after divorce because you’re wallowing yourself in self-pity to make you feel better but remember, don’t over spend too much that it will get you to debt and this will surely make your life as a single woman very difficult. You should know how to budget and control yourself from the things that are worthy and not.

10. Don’t Get Involved on the Rebound - The last one is pretty much obvious. We all know that there is a broad line between getting to know a person and bonding a close to an intimate relationship. Don’t be too quick that you want to find someone new because in the end, you will just be forcing yourself in a relationship and forced relationship rarely last. Make sure you are really ready for a new relationship before getting into one. Because you might just encounter the same things with your ex.
