Divorce Recovery For Women - Acceptance Is The Key

Accept your current situation and allow yourself to go through the feelings and emotions

Do you remember when you were a child and your parent would say to you “Now, come
on, don’t cry, it’s going to be ok”, or “Don’t be sad”, or “Don’t get angry”?
What did your parents say to you, in regards to expressing your emotions when you were a child?

Divorce Recovery For Women - Inner Self - 5 Tips To Keep Your Inner Self Happy

Clear boundaries.

A few years ago, I discovered that my good friend stole some money from her ex-husband to purchase my car. She also took in my boyfriend and his children when we separated. I was upset, angry and hurt. Needless to say, I stopped being this woman’s friend. That is a boundary which I have stuck with.

Setting boundaries, also means not doing something when I don’t feel like it. This took me some time to get used to it, because I wanted people to like me. Now, if I need or want to say no to someone, I feel good about my decision because it’s what I truly want.
