HOW TO COPE AFTER BREAK-UP OR DIVORCE!
When divorce suddenly occurs or you lose a long-term relationship it is normal to feel a deep sense of loss, at times to completely break down because many aspects of your life had being affected.
Depending on the severity of the breakup some people come out with nothing though they invested years and years on the Relationship.
Here are some coping mechanisms because it is very important to get your Life back in order, remembet your family, your children and people who love you still need you:
1. Take time to grieve: allow yourself to feel a sense of loss.
Grieving is a normal reaction by humans to something or someone that mattered such as marriage or a relationship.
2. Take Good Care of yourself:
This will shorten your grieving period. One of the things we recommend to people grieving a relationship loss is taking control of their mind. Avoid negative thoughts.
Stay positive and hopeful about the future. Failure to control your thoughts can make matters worse.
3. If you were forced to move out, make your new place feel like a new home:
Settle in, greet and smile at neighbors. At times divorce cam force you to start from scratch thats why fighting for your marriage is so important.
4. Rely on People you trust for support:
Maintsin communication lines with family and friends.
5. Write down your feelings. It will help you to offload your hurts and pains.
6. Establish a regular training routine such as morning or evening joggs:
I often tell our clients that Depression hates a moving target. Get physical, it will speed up your healing process.
Besides as you exercise you release feel good and love hormones such as Oxytocin and Endorphin which will help you relax and feel good.
7. Dont Jump into the next relationship:
But rather take time to heal and to build your relationship with God. Perhaps it was the will of God for the relationship to end!
Learn to Pray, to Fast, to read the Bible. Repent of all your past sins. Let the Holy Spirit heal and build you afresh.
8.Enroll for Therapy for further coping mechanisms and for management of Depression, Anxiety etc.
