The best thing you can do to move on is to prepare yourself for a new normal, and do these 5 things to help get you through it!

Find a new hobby

The nature of the hobby doesn’t matter, because the main thing you need to do is something you will enjoy.

Think about taking up scrapbooking, yoga, knitting or even cycling: anything to get your mind off the difficult time you’ve just had and simply enjoy yourself.

If you really can’t think of anything to do in terms of a hobby, why not watch a good series on tv that you have never seen before?

Meet others in a similar situation.

When you speak to friends and family about what you have been through in your divorce, they can sometimes not fully understand your struggles.

This is why it is important to meet others who are in a similar boat and can offer you the support you need.

Look online or at your community center for details about divorced support groups near you.

Get your finances in order

Being newly single means that your financial situation will have changed.

Especially if you are a single parent or are in a lot of debt, getting help from a financial planner will allow you to get a grip on your money and get rid of any financial worries you may have.

This is extremely important, whether you have always had your own stream of income, or were dependent on your spouse. Don’t wait!

Forgive!

Carrying around anger and hurt is not good for you.

Which is why it is vital that you forgive not only your ex-spouse but also yourself! Even if it means starting again, make sure your future is one with no hard feelings.

Sometimes we go through such difficult struggles in a marriage, that forgiveness seems…impossible.

But even if you can’t fully forgive, you should at least make peace with yourself. Close that chapter of life, and begin anew.
