I make a terrible patient!

I admit it – I’m the worst! To expect me to stay down for two weeks is insane. To expect me to not bend over for four weeks is absurd. To expect me not to exercise for six weeks is down right crazy!

But when you look at the big picture, it is so worth it!

Just like reinventing yourself… it may be hard to stick with the initial changes necessary for a complete recovery, but if you do, the rewards are exponential.

Same with recovering from divorce.  I don’t know about you, but I had to surgically remove my Ex from my house and my life, and I’m still recovering!

The similarities are creepy.  Physically and emotionally being down for the count… literally feeling physically unable to keep up, emotionally spent and completely exhausted.

But remember this: with every day that passes, you are getting stronger and closer to a full recovery. Really! I’m proof!

Now I must admit that I get really board and antsy when I have to take it easy, for anything. Vacation is one thing, I can get into that, but down for 6 weeks… that’s another thing altogether.

But that healing time is necessary, and if you try to circumvent the process, it will come back and bite you in the butt. HARD!

If you don’t give yourself the necessary healing time from a divorce, just like with surgery, you will never heal properly. You need that time alone to search your soul for what you really want out of life. You need to think of your wants, desires and aspirations first for a change.  You need to lick your wounds, and give yourself time to “mourn the dream”.

This process can’t be rushed.  If you do, you may very well end up in the same situation you were lucky enough to escape from. Our goal is to learn from your mistakes, not repeat them.

This necessary time for healing will pass… and you will be better, stronger and wiser for it.

Don’t forget:  IT’S YOUR TURN! YOU ARE WORTH IT!

Happy Living!
