Alexandra Niel offers five self-reflection questions for after divorce: what to let go of, the difference between mistakes and harmful decisions, what good came from it, what relationship mistakes to avoid next time, and what personal habits to change.
The aftermath of a divorce is an awesome time for self-reflection and for introspection. I've often read like, well, you know, journal about this or think about that, and I'm always like, well, give me some ideas of questions that can help me in this journey. So I thought I would share with you 5 ideas or 5 questions to help you to get started. And the first one is, what is something you need to let go of? What is something that isn't serving you, that is haunting you, and that you would benefit from letting that ghost go. Number 2, remember that mistakes are different than bad decisions. Mistakes happen, they're a part of life. Bad decisions are done because we're not where we need to be mentally. We're not thinking clearly, we might be being too emotional. So what are some bad decisions you've made in the past that you don't care to repeat, and how would you do it differently this time around. Number 3: Find the silver lining. There is invariably something good that comes out of a crappy situation, whether it's a mistake or a bad decision, there is something good in there, you just have to look for it. So what are some situations where you've been so stuck on the negative that you haven't had a chance to look for the silver lining yet? Number 4: What are some mistakes in relationships Things that you knew if you had gone a different way, maybe things would have turned out differently. How do you make a different decision next time? And number 5, what bad habits do you have that could have potentially led you to make a mistake or make a bad decision? And what are you going to do differently?
