I know from personal experience that one doesn’t just let go of the past one day and everything is hunky-dory forever. Ah were it so! Divorce Recovery like any other discipline is an on-going process. Even the best of us have a blip on the screen of life every now and then. That nasty little gremlin, our mind chatter, rears its ugly head from time to time and needs taming.
The all-important thing is being aware of that mind chatter when it first starts so that we don’t allow it to take over. So as much as I know on a very deep level that the only person that I can control or change in this life is myself, every once in a while I fall back into being disappointed or resentful over something my ex says or does. We have kids so we are tied together for the rest of our lives.
The good thing is that I have become much more conscious of my backsliding and can more often than not catch myself…albeit not always. Always is a long, long time and a very high expectation that in my book is unrealistic and unenforceable. I take it a day at a time. Every backslide is yet another lesson for me in which to access the wisdom I have and then apply it towards my future.
So all of this has led me to create a free tele-seminar on Acceptance which is the cornerstone of divorce recovery, letting go and moving on after your divorce. I invite you to join me on Wednesday, September 16th at 9pm est for look at the most important step one can take in our quest to take back our lives after divorce…acceptance.
