5 Wonderful Things About Life After Divorce

When you’re going through the divorce process, it can be really difficult to see the sunshine through the trees. But let’s face it, if you’re getting a divorce, it’s because you believe that you can be happier if you’re not married. Let me share some of the upsides of life after divorce.

#1 – FREE TIME

How many years has it been since you’ve actually had time all to yourself?? No kids, no spouse, no responsibilities. Wow. What are you going to do with yourself? It may take a while to stop feeling lonely, but now1’s the time to take that dance class, check out some local meetup groups, or simply indulge in a hobby you've neglected. It will be a great way to start to find your way back to yourself.

#2 – SPACE

You no longer have to share the office, the garage, the kitchen, or the bathroom! It will feel so nice not to have to rinse whiskers out of the stupid sink, or trip over someone else's shoes. Your space is truly yours to organize, decorate, and enjoy as you please.

#3 – SLEEPING

There is nothing better than totally sprawling across a queen or king size bed, spread-eagle, to sleep. Not to mention, if you were married to a snorer, the peace and quiet is such a treat! Enjoy the undisturbed rest and reclaim your side of the bed – or the whole thing!

#4 – CONTROL OF THE REMOTE

You could spend all day watching "Say Yes to The Dress," "The Voice," "American Idol," and chick flick movies! Or sports, if that’s your thing. No more negotiating over what to watch or waiting for your favorite show to be over. It's your remote, your rules!

#5 – NO MONEY BATTLES

Almost every couple that divorces had some kind of conflicts over finances. While it’s really nice not to have to battle, make sure you are making good decisions for your own personal finances. Take control of your financial future and build the security and independence you deserve.

Now is your chance to make the most of your second phase. Make it count!!
