Why is self care important during divorce?
Divorce is the second most stressful life event anyone can endure. Keeping your mind, body and spirit healthy and grounded is the best thing you can do for yourself. The challenge is, this is likely the last thing you care about right now! Getting enough sleep, at least a little exercise and some healthy food to fuel your body will go a long way toward keeping your mind clear and your mood balanced.
What kinds of things can I do to practice self care?
This is highly personal and is about what is going to be your recipe for feeling strong, healthy and balanced. Daily meditation, journaling and a regular 20 minute walk is a great start. Many people find practicing yoga to be very comforting and grounding. Sometimes self care involves giving yourself permission to truly break down. If you find yourself on the edge or feeling broken (we all have these moments!), then set some time aside for you to just sit with this feeling. Put on your jammies, close the shades and get under a blanket on the couch. Binge watch breaking bad while eating spaghetti or ice cream with your favorite bottle of merlot or cocktail. Cry, sleep, go numb. Do whatever it is you feel you need. Go to sleep and put your best foot forward tomorrow.
Why is Physical Health Important?
Research shows that divorce may have a negative effect on your physical and mental health, as any chronically stressful situation would. Your goal is not to become one of these statistics. Physical health encompasses everything from physical fitness to overall well-being. There are three key elements of physical health: Nutrition, Exercise and Sleep. Each of these work together to ensure that you are firing on all cylinders and have the energy to make clear-headed decisions while feeling confident and healthy. If you are considering divorce, your physical health and well-being should be one of your top priorities. The irony is that this may be the last thing on your mind.
Let’s face it; divorce could be considered an endurance event. And just as you would prepare your body for an endurance event by planning and training, you also need to prepare your body to withstand the rigors of the potential reality of divorce–ensuring you are strong enough to undertake the challenges you may encounter along the way. Whether or not divorce is your eventual outcome, improving your physical health will benefit you in many positive ways.
So it is highly recommended to understand what level your physical health is at now so that you know what areas you need to focus on. Then you can start taking positive steps to improve your eating habits, boost your exercise levels and sleep better at night.
What are some keys ways to Awakening Your Spirit?
You could be feeling lost and shaken at the idea of moving forward with your life as a single person. You could be past that feeling and now looking for something deeper, the life you were meant to live. This is your time to break free from your past and emerge into the person you are meant to be, living a life of fulfillment and happiness!
Forgiveness…The Gift You Give To Yourself
Forgiveness isn’t about condoning the hurtful act, it’s about freeing yourself from your past. Not forgiving is hurting yourself, not the other person. You must forgive to move forward. It’s time to let it go.
Waking Up
To become awakened is to become mindful of your present moment. In various philosophies around the world, crisis represents opportunity. It’s a chance to break open and uncover your life’s purpose. First you need to become aware and accept where you are now.
Gratitude
Practicing gratitude is required for feeling joy. You simply can’t have one without the other. This doesn’t mean a general feeling of being grateful. It’s a true practice that will raise your spirit and allow you to find true joy and happiness.
