You’ve decided to get a divorce, and after some back-and-forth with the other party, you’re getting close to a settlement. Feelings of relief, optimism, and maybe even stress are all normal responses. The time is now to stop mourning the past and start planning the future according to the kind of experiences you crave and the kind of life you see for yourself.

Journey Around the Globe
Then why not take a trip? You’ve probably neglected yourself for a long period, and getting a divorce is just one more thing to worry about. Getting out of your comfort zone, interacting with people from other backgrounds, and discovering what you truly value are all benefits of travelling. Where you go is entirely up to you.
Perhaps you never left the lodge the entire time you were married, but you spent every month on a ski trip with your ski-loving spouse.
Modify Your Profession Path
Perhaps the security your job provided was important to you and your family, and you felt that changing careers now would be irresponsible. Perhaps you have raised a family and cared for your house and family for a long time, and now you feel it is time to do something just for you. There’s no time like the present to explore alternative employment options.
Recall the past. Tell me about a subject or activity that you really enjoyed learning about. As a child, what did you dream of becoming when you grew up? Is there anything that held you back from achieving those objectives? Your previous limitations may no longer be an issue. Just how far can you go with your current level of education? Should you instead make time for your studies?
Make a New One
In order to maintain a harmonious marriage, it is not uncommon for spouses to compromise on how they look. They may only wear certain colours if they know their partner favours them, or they may avoid wearing anything too revealing if they know their partner finds it offensive. Now is the time to express yourself through your clothing.
You can go crazy if you want to. Visit a high-end hair salon, try on a variety of styles, and settle on a look that best represents you. After that, you can go out and get a whole new set of clothes so that you can finally enjoy getting ready in the morning.
Consider All That You Gave Up
During the course of your marriage, you’ve both probably made a lot of concessions. At what cost did you make those concessions? What are you going to do now that you are freed from that obligation?
Perhaps you were the primary caretaker of the kids every weekend since your ex-spouse was a weekend golfer.
