This weekend I posted a question in a Divorced Men’s Group. The question was “What’s the difference between the Man that Struggles and the Man that THRIVES after divorce?”
Here are the top answers:
Live for you!
- Start with forgiveness.
- Remember what makes you happy, and do it.
- Start living for yourself (it’s ok to be selfish)
- Since I’ve really focused on my own healing and loving myself, I’ve been a lot happier.
Quit looking back:
- Move on and move forward.
- Quit feeling sorry for myself.
- No one cares. Get better or get bitter.
- Work on yourself, and keep moving forward.
- Our kid(s) need us. Even if some don't understand.
Focus & Mindset
- You can’t change the circumstances however you can always change your story around the circumstances. I chose happiness and new beginnings.
- Embrace acceptance
- Determination over sorrow
Move On!
- Letting go of blame allows you to move on.
Have a Support System
- Never be in a recovery situation alone. Morale, spiritual (if applicable), and emotional support are critical.
- Don't go at divorce alone!
- Hire a Mentor!
