Statistics show that break-ups and divorce are two of the most stressful and emotional events in life. Preparing emotionally and practically can help reduce that stress. If you’re going through a break-up here are some ways to help you best navigate the process.
Preparation is vital. If you are well prepared, you increase your ability to persuade the other side about what you are asking for. You can inform them and educate them on important factors that need to be considered. This gives you both the greatest opportunity to resolve your matter.
Making sure you assemble the right team around you is a practical way of progressing with your divorce.
When you are ready, consider the types of advice you might need to draw on, why you might need it and where to find it. This means starting to think outside your immediate needs and starting to look a little further forward.
Emotional preparation is going to include (while sticking to those values you have set) looking closely at and thinking about your own needs and goals.
At all times, keep your set values pinned in your mind (or even on a pinboard or sticky note if you are a visual person) so you can continuously remind yourself how you want to act.
