There's times in our life where we really have to buckle down and put ourselves first and really think about what it is that we want in life and how to accomplish it.
The holiday season, often filled with joy and togetherness, can feel especially daunting if you're navigating a divorce. In this episode of 'Starting Over Stronger', Certified Divorce Coach Annie Allen offers a lifeline for those grappling with the holiday blues during this challenging time. Annie brings her expertise and empathy to the table, sharing practical advice to help you not just survive, but thrive during the festive season. One of Annie's key suggestions is to reframe your holiday expectations.
Instead of dwelling on past traditions or trying to meet others' expectations, focus on what will bring you comfort and joy. Whether it's tackling a home project or spending quality time with friends instead of family, give yourself permission to prioritize your own needs. Annie also emphasizes the importance of surrounding yourself with people who uplift you. If family gatherings are too painful, consider hosting a get-together with friends or planning an outing that brings you happiness.
Creating new traditions can be a powerful way to honor your past while embracing your future. Feeling the absence of a loved one can be particularly tough during the holidays. Annie suggests identifying others in your life who bring you similar joy and planning special moments with them. This can help fill the emotional void and create new, positive memories. Navigating the holidays during a divorce is undeniably challenging, but remember, you don't have to do it alone.
Certified Divorce Coaches like Annie are available to offer support and guidance through these emotional and practical hurdles. Their expertise can help you find stability and even joy in what might seem like a bleak season. If you're struggling this holiday season, tune into this episode for a dose of hope and practical tips.
By focusing on what you truly want and need, connecting with joyful people, and seeking professional support when necessary, you can turn this holiday season into a stepping stone toward a brighter future.
