I've been interviewing people about their post-divorce
experiences for a project I'm working on. These are some of the principles I've
learned through these interviews. In my mind they combine two excellent
overarching themes that emerge post-divorce: "How I want to live
now," and "How I can avoid future mistakes." Most of the principles
apply to both.
1.
Figure
out who you really are and be yourself. Who you are in a relationship
is not always the same as who you
are solo. Take time to identify your likes, dislikes preferences,
wants and needs. Then be the person you
really want to be.
2.
Be
honest with yourself and others. Sometimes you really have to
dig deep to know your
truth. Often you know what you honestly think or want, but
telling someone else is another matter. Being true to yourself is the best way
to live.
