There is no way around it. Divorce can be simply miserable—even if
you were the one who asked for it. If you have children, they are also
suffering, and from something that is not even their fault. While there
is no getting around the pain of the situation, the way you approach this
tough process can eventually make all the difference. Here are three of
the ways you could get yourself through a
divorce as peacefully as possible:
1) Remember that divorce can be the right decision. If a divorce was your
choice, then remember that you chose this for a reason, that this could
be a positive change. If the other spouse is the one who is leaving you,
it is only natural to feel hurt and angry. But remember that these emotions
are detrimental to you. You deserve to be with someone who loves you,
to be in a healthy relationship. So divorce is the right step for you
too, enabling you to move on to something better.
2) And honestly, you will probably have to fake it first. Act like you
would if you were happy, until you actually find that you are. Stay away
from the people who want to mope or to air grievances with you. Instead
of focusing on the injustice or pain of a situation, discover the things
that make you happy and pursue that instead.
3) Do not trap yourself in a hurtful narrative. Too many people tell themselves
that they are losers with rotten luck or who have missed their chance
at happiness. If you tell yourself this, well then it might just come
true, but it does not have to be. This is your chance to write a better
story, to tell yourself that you do have what it takes to find love and
happiness. This is one of the few things you can control—your perception.
And often, what you tell yourself becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
No matter how your soon-to-be former spouse handles the situation, you
can persevere, knowing things will improve while you strive for happiness,
instead of letting yourself sink into unproductive, dejected behavior.
