The Importance of Self-Care for Divorced Dads
Working thru the divorce process is never easy, and it takes a toll on all involved.
Many times during a separation we are solely focused on “getting it over and finalized” and do not worry about the personal, emotional and physical collateral damage it leaves behind.
But it doesn’t have to be that way!
Establishing self-care routines early on in the process can be very beneficial and here’s why:
- When your mind is clear, you can make better-informed decisions
- Sharing your divorce challenges with others who have gone thru a divorce can release your pent-up anger and frustrations
- Physically taking care of yourself by working out, running or other forms of physical exercise releases endorphins which can help you reduce your anxiety and depression
- Taking care of yourself shows your children the right way to deal with life-altering situations in a positive way
Keeping your emotions all to yourself doesn’t make you strong, it makes you more stressed out.
Our group of experts can help you develop a self-care program to help you diffuse some of the stressors that divorce brings.
