Explore your interests. Try to reconnect with the things you liked to do besides being with your partner—have you always wanted to play a sport or play an instrument? This is a good time to give it a try and make new friends along the way.
Take one day at a time. It can be overwhelming to think that you’re going to feel sad or angry for a long time, so try not to obsess about how you’re going to feel next week or worry about how you’ll react to future situations, but allow yourself to overcome each obstacle as it happens, one day at a time.
Forgive yourself. When going through a divorce, you may feel guilty of different reasons. However, whether you were wrong about something or not, it’s good to accept that you can’t change the past, that people and circumstances change, and that what you can avoid is making the same mistakes. Think about the future, it is difficult, but it will help you realize that guilt will not help you move forward.
