Attitude
“Attitudes are more important than facts.” Norman Vincent Peale
Our thoughts about an event, our current situation, another person, our work, etc. have an incredible impact on our lives. What happens to us is one thing. How we react to it is another. When you are going through a difficult time such as divorce, you may adopt a depressed, sad, anxious attitude about your life. If you do so, life will seem difficult, burdened, and upsetting. Changing your attitude (your thoughts) about your life can make a huge difference in how you move through it.
When I went through my divorce over 20 years ago, I recall the hurt, pain, sadness, and uncertainty. It is not an easy time for you and your children. You need to grieve the loss and feel the pain. But, once you have done so with the support of family and friends (and perhaps professional counseling as well), you can change your thoughts about the event. If you can look at it is an empowering time for positive change, you can embrace your new life and move forward. Positive thinking can do so much to change your outlook and bring good into your life. You will survive and grow after your divorce. There is life after divorce – embrace it with a new attitude!
