Surviving Divorce & Separation

I know how you feel.  I divorced after almost 11 yrs of marriage and I felt the same way. I was so caught up in pleasing him and the family that I lost sight of myself and my goals.  Since divorcing I have forced on myself more.  I think that I am a better mother and a much better me.  I completed by MBA and have received promotions on my job.  I set life changing goals.  I decided that it's ok not having a man in my life.  I now actually have a date night with myself. On this night I do things that I enjoy.  I pamper myself.  Treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. 

I too am going through the same thing - finding myself again.  Here are my suggestions:

1.  Do things that you do well - whether it's creating something (like, artwork) or doing something (like singing or dancing).

2.  Yoga

3.  Read about topics you are interested in, or watch movies on these topics if you prefer.  You will feel empowered because you are educated on them.

4.  Take a class - whether it's online, thru your local community college or agricultural extension service, or your local craft store or hardware store!

5.  Connect with friends from long ago, if you can, even if it's only thru email or facebook.

Hope that helps!
