With a divorce rate of around 50% in America, it’s become increasingly important to deal with divorce. Start by making sure that divorce is the right option for you. This will help you to come to terms with your separation. This will help you be able to, in the more difficult times, remind yourself that your divorce is the right choice for you both.

Here are Some Tips To help you move on

Tip 1. Once you file for divorce, adopt a ‘no point looking back’ attitude. What has happened is in the past.

Tip 2. Acknowledge your marriage is over. Full stop. You can’t move forward until you let go of the past. And this isn’t supposed to be easy, that’s just the way it is. Be focused on making the separation work, and to plan for your future.

Tip 3. Choose to not blame yourself, or your partner. Divorce happens. It makes sense to focus on making a new life, instead of living one of blame and anger. Opt for as amicable as possible, given your divorce circumstances. Divorce is painful enough without adding fresh animosity. The harder your divorce is, the slower the recovery.

Tip 4 Do one thing you enjoy every day. Keep busy. Make healthy choices for yourself. Love yourself, and tell remind yourself that you can choose to have a loving relationship again, when you are ready. Divorce does not mean you are a failure.

Going through a divorce is a painful process. You want to acknowledge your marriage is over and focus on moving forward, without adding new blame, anger or animosity to the emotions you’re feeling already. Love yourself, and do so by focusing on your moving forward.
