5 Ways to Disengage During Divorce
Don’t let divorce consume your life. Use these techniques to avoid obsessive thinking and rumination.
- Establish a daily schedule that allows you to spend approximately one hour per day discussing or dealing with your divorce, except, of course, when more time is absolutely necessary (i.e. attending a court hearing). Stick to your schedule.
- Stop texting, emailing, messaging and writing about your divorce.
- Limit your divorce communications to one hour per day (see above) and only share your thoughts with a select group of people. (This will prevent your divorce from seeping into and filling up every corner of your life.)
- Exercise daily, limit your alcohol intake and get as much rest as possible.
- Distract yourself with positive people and activities. Find a new hobby, go out with friends, watch upbeat movies or do anything else you love.
