Build Your New Life
Divorce is a life-altering experience, but change doesn’t have to be bad at all! Now, here’s the fun part. You’re no longer one half of a couple which means you have more freedom to make decisions and pursue what you want in life.
You can probably go back to the things you loved to do when you were single. Were there any hobbies or activities you had to give up because you got married? For instance, perhaps you miss going to the theater, but you had to give that up because your ex-husband hated musicals.
You can also discover a whole new side of you that you wouldn’t otherwise have known if you stayed married with your ex.
Now that your husband is out of the picture, what changes can you make in your life that would make you happy? Is there any fantasy you’ve always wanted to fulfill but couldn’t because you were afraid of what your ex might say or think?
This is also an opportunity for you to reinvent yourself and redesign your life. You can go back to school and earn a postgraduate degree so you can pursue the career goals you may have put on hold in favor of your marriage. Or you could learn a new skill and build a new career.
Of course, when you make decisions, you will have to consider your children, if you have any. But as long as your choices are constructive and healthy, do what makes you happy and create your new dream life.
