You might have been devastated after the divorce. You don’t want to do anything productive, just eat chocolates, junkfood and nachos, laze around and sleep dreaming your ex is having bad karma. Well, doing these things is not only bad for you physically, emotionally and mentally but delays the healing process as well- and this stops you from moving on. It’s okay to sulk but don’t take too long, you still have your kids.
Here is a list of 6 things that you have to do before you can start over with dating:
1. Time to clean out your closet.
Meaning literally and metaphorically doing so, it’s that time where you need to let go of some “stuffs” that you have kept from that previous relationship. Now is the time to figure yourself out to decide which ones you’ll have to leave behind, put in the trash and which one’s you are going to keep. Take time to think and ponder about which ones can help you build your new life.
2. Take money matters in your own hands.
Now that you’re already separate entities with your ex, your assets and liabilities may well have been split as well. You may have been the one managing the budget and finances but now it’s more than that. Now is the time that you understand and face any fears that you have over your debits and credits.
3. Get moving.
Take care of your body and don’t just lie there, sulk and eat junkfood. Not will that only increase your dress size but it will also make you look more depressed and older. You need to take care of yourself physically. Have a balanced diet, do some exercise, get a monthly health check up and don’t forget the dentist. You’ll feel better about yourself afterwards.
4. Build new rituals.
You are not the only person who is affected by the change going on, your kids and even your pet rabbit can feel it. It makes everyone nervous and anxious, thinking what’s going to happen now? Well, you should start building routines that you can keep and can be depended on. Continue with your family dinners and create a special bed time ritual for your kids. Once everyone has adjusted to the new ritual in your home then there will be more time for fun and play.
5. Spend time with your kids.
Your kids will always be the first ones you have in mind, how are they coping now that things have changed? How are you going to manage? Well, first, stop thinking and worrying yourself and just spend more time with your kids. Stop worrying about the house chores and bills for a moment and give yourself a break. Paint with your kids, play a game, or watch a movie. Your kids will remember all the moments you have spent with them more than any clean shirt they wore.
6. Don’t isolate yourself from people who care for you, sometimes you just need someone to listen.
You need back up from close friends and of course, family. Friendships can create change and your family will always be there for you no matter what. The idea of dating again may seem foolish or just too foolhardy at the moment, but you have to remember that you cannot date unless you have healed and moved on completely.
Don’t rush into a relationship, take a break, feel your true emotions and it’s okay to mourn your loss. Get yourself on solid ground with the help of these 6 tips that you need to cover before dating.
