Finding yourself after a divorce
While in a relationship one becomes attached and dependent on another person and in some cases it can be hard to keep your independence and individual personality. You spend a significant amount of time with your partner and tend to begin to act similarly. This is not a bad thing, but after developing these habits it can be jarring to suddenly find yourself newly divorced and on your own for the first time in years. This time of transition is a great opportunity to refocus your life and find yourself again. This phrase “find yourself” is something that we go through multiple times in our lives, like being a teenager or young adult, again when we get married, and in some cases after a divorce. Finding yourself can mean becoming independent again, enjoying new or old hobbies, and finding new things in life that bring you happiness.
Being recently divorced means that suddenly you will have more time just to yourself. This can at times be lonely, but it is also freeing. You can choose to spend this time however you want! A great way to spend time is to enjoy new or old hobbies you have. Maybe you found that during married life you did not have time for an old hobby, but now you can get back into it and do something you love. If you are looking for a change try a new hobby, and put yourself out there. If trying something new remember it is ok to not be good at it as long as you enjoy it.
This transitional time is also a good opportunity to invest more time into other relationships, like friendships or with your family. Friendship is an important part of life, and friends give you a social network where you can find comfort and enjoyment as you spend time with those important to you. This network can also be a support as you go through your divorce.
