Okay, over the last few days, weeks, or months, you have gone through what has to be one of the most painful times of your life.
So, what do you do now?
Well the grieving is over. If it isn't, it needs to be.
You need to get out of your gloomy mood and move on. You have just been given an opportunity to rebuild your life. You may have found yourself suddenly single after having been someone's 'something special' for years, but you don't realize just how much you have been given. You may see your life as shattered at the moment, but you should look at it as a clean slate. You need to get back in with the crowd and mingle like you never skipped a beat.
The first step to getting over a divorce is to make subtle changes.
The first thing that a woman will usually change about her is her hair. Hair is special to women. When you feel like you have gone through a change, you feel the need to change your hair because it represents who you are in a way.
After that, you should head straight to the mall and acquire some snazzy new outfits. You are no longer married, and should you look like it. You can wear the tighter blouses and the shorter skirts. You do not have to go directly from conventional to streetwalker, but, if you spice up your wardrobe you will feel better about yourself.
When you wear things that are beautiful, you will feel beautiful. You will feel so much about the way that you look.
You should try colors that you normally would not wear. You should purchase things that seem out of your style a bit just to find yourself. Maybe you already know who you are, and that's great, but you didn't allow yourself to be dragged down by the divorce, so don't let the aftermath determine who you are either.
However, you may certainly be forgiven if you feel a little confused. You may not know exactly what you want from life and for your future. It is okay to be a little confused about things at this point. However, if you go out and you purchase something that your ex-mate would not have liked, you might find you suddenly feel better about yourself.
Go to the mall and purchase a fancy dress and go to a place that you wouldn't normally go with your ex. It could be the opera, a play, dinner, or whatever. You will be able to experience something new or do something that you love and you will look good too.
Being single is not that bad, you know. You can be whomever you want and wear whatever you want. You have so much freedom. You should take advantage of purchasing clothes without having to have a talk with your partner. Your money is now your money to do whatever you would like.
Regardless of age, if you begin to
date sooner than later you will be able to get over the divorce even more quickly. You don't need the emphasis on commitment or even sex, for that matter. All you need is to get back in the game.
Go out to dinner!
This way you aren't at home mopping and you may even find someone who is fun to be with and that will show you how to love again. You do not need to have an expectation about anyone, but you never know where Mr. Right maybe.
You should never rush into a committed relationship right after you have gone through a divorce. If you do, them you may be setting yourself up for more pain, however if you just purchase an outfit and have a casual night on the town, you will find that moving is a lot easier than you thought it would be.
So get up, put on that new sundress and have a great day enjoying life. With subtle changes of style, love, laugher, and fun can be just around the corner.
