Enjoy Alone Time
You’ve spent so long with someone else that alone time feels like an alien concept. We all can benefit from a long time, as it gives us a real opportunity to be with our thoughts. Think about going for a walk by yourself, or even taking in a movie. You might feel silly going by yourself, but many people go and eat meals by themselves now, so surely you could take in a movie in a darkened room by yourself?
Accept Yourself
Finding that inner confidence after divorce can take a long time. But it can take even longer if you don’t look in the mirror and accept yourself. It’s very common that people feel a sense of rejection in many ways after a divorce, but you should spend some quality time learning to make your peace with what has happened. You can only do this by accepting yourself, and whatever your perceived faults might be, it’s the only way you can truly move on.
Take Your Time
You don’t need to get back out there right away. Everything in its own sweet time. There’s no rush, just focus on living your life and doing what you can with benefits you. You might have felt that you have done everything you can for everybody else and not yourself. So, don’t worry about what could happen, or what has happened, focus on the here and now.
