Handling the Stress & Emotions of Divorce
1. Handling the Stress & Emotions of
Divorce
Divorce is one of the most stressful events that can occur in life. It
often represents the loss of hopes and dreams, not only for you, but for
your children as well. Give yourself permission to take care of yourself;
take a bath, go for a run or a hike, go out to lunch with friends, go to a
movie… relax. This will benefit you, as well, as your children. Your
children take their cues on how to respond to the divorce from you; if
you accept this change, they will too. If, however, you are sad and
sorrowful, they will follow your lead. Your kids will feel a lot more
relaxed if they see that you are relaxed and in good spirits. Here are a
couple of things you can do to help minimize your stress and help you
cope:
Eat Right - Eating a healthy diet helps you maintain a positive outlook.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water.
Multivitamins, especially vitamin B, can help you combat the effects of
the additional stress you are facing. A vitamin B complex is important
for maintaining your energy level, reducing stress and boosting your
immune system.
2. Exercise - Stay physically active. Exercise makes you feel great and
helps to eliminate stress, anger, frustration and anxiety. If you don’t
exercise regularly, this is a great time to start to get in the habit; join a
club to make re-make yourself and get to know people who have a
healthy lifestyle and will be a great cheering team for you.
Have Fun!! - Be sure to schedule some fun into your daily life. Make
time for fun and do things that you love! Spend time with friends and
family who support and love you. Take a bath, read a book, have a nap,
watch your favorite movie and indulge yourself. Avoid negative people
and search for friends who have similar interests. It’s important to
have a support group and surround yourself with positive people.
Journal - Journaling is a great way to explore your feelings and work
through problems and feelings. When your ex does something that is
frustrating, journal about it and explore your feelings. If you’re angry
about something, remember that anger usually comes from a sad place,
not a bad place – we usually get angry because we are hurt, frustrated,
or sad. It’s normal to experience highs and lows when you are going
through a divorce and letting yourself experience the grief will actually
help you heal and move forward.
Relax - When anxiety starts to overtake you, close your eyes and relax
from your head to your toes. Allow each part of your body to relax,
beginning with your eyes, your jaw, your shoulders, your arms, and
working down to your toes. Don’t let anger overcome you – allowing
3. your ex to “make” you angry allows your ex to control your life. Decide
to be the master of your own destiny.
Sleep - Sleep is rejuvenating. Getting enough sleep helps us
emotionally and physically and dreams are an important part of
working through our feelings. As you lie in bed at night, think about the
beginnings in your life. Don’t dwell on the past, look to the future.
Most people who are going through a divorce are actually leaving
behind a negative relationship, even if they don’t realize it at the time.
They may have gotten comfortable in a routine that was dragging them
down. We often mourn the loss of our DREAM of a perfect marriage,
rather than the relationship we actually had. You can still have your
dreams if you stay focused, take care of yourself, and prepare yourself
for the new life ahead of you. Don’t let your ex hold you back from
enjoying your future; you deserve all that life has to offer. Remember,
life is what you make it, so make it a great one!!
