Twelve Things to Ask Yourself Daily during a Divorce

1. Am I still living in what should be versus what is?


2. Am I able to accept reality, as it truly exists?


3. Do I believe that this separation/divorce has happened for a reason?


4. Am I doing whatever needs to be done in terms of managing the stress and taking care of myself?


5. Do I have a couple of good friends that I can lean on now and talk to daily?


6. Have I looked into a divorce support group so that I can be with others who truly understand what I am feeling?


7. Have I identified what truly frightens me right now? Am I able to start facing these fears?


8. Do I have an attorney that I trust?


9. If I am feeling great sadness, am I honoring that grief or trying to bury it?


10. Likewise, if I am really angry, have I found more appropriate ways to release that anger?


11. Do I feel good about myself? If not, have I thought of all the things that I am versus that I am not? Of all the things that have done versus what I haven’t?


12. Am I willing to let go o the past and concentrate on the future? Have I started thinking of what I really want in life? Do I have a vision of myself in 5, 10 years from now?
