Starting Over: How to Regain Confidence After Divorce

  • Post author:

Living a life without confidence is challenging to say the least. It’s hard when everything your former spouse has taken from you, and there seems no way for it all back again, but empower yourself with some healthy habits in order not only to feel better about who you are now as well be more confident going forward into future relationships!

How to Regain Confidence After Divorce

Confidence and self-esteem go hand in hand. You might think they’re the same thing, but there’s a difference between them – faith refers to how much you believe in your abilities while feeling low on esteem means that an overall sense of worthlessness can take over where outright sadness leaves off. Working up some courage so as not to start trying too hard will help boost both areas at once!

The best of kind thing you can do is to take one day at a time and focus on getting through your days. You may think that speeding up the process or ignoring it altogether will improve things, but this isn’t true in many cases!

Walk or Exercise 

The next time you feel like giving up on your goals, try taking a walk. If it’s been a while since running or exercising at the gym, go ahead and do some light stretching to get back into shape; however, if there’s no energy left whatsoever- don’t worry about doing more than just strolling around outside! The point is that this activity not only helps with metabolism by getting the blood flowing through our bodies again but also gives us relaxation when done right (which can be especially helpful during tough times).

When we exercise, our brains release endorphins that make us feel good. If exercise isn’t your thing or you just can’t find the time for it sometimes in life, what about letting out some loud music? That will help boost dopamine and serotonin levels – more happy chemical reactions are happening within certain brain parts responsible for regulating moods and other functions, including sleep!

Write a List of Your Strengths and Read It Every Morning

A quick tip: If you’re in the middle of a divorce and need some encouragement, remind yourself that no matter what happens with your split, there are still plenty of things to be proud of. You might think it’s hard now but try looking at these strengths lists every day – they’ll help get rid of depression!

3. Set Small Goals 

Divorce is never simple to go through, but it’s one of those experiences that make you stronger. I feel like my time with divorce taught me so much about myself and how strong-willed people can be during difficult times when they’re just trying their best no matter what happens in life — even if things don’t work out the way anyone would want them to!

We all have the potential to do something great, but it’s up to each of us what we choose. If you’re feeling down and don’t know how or where to start, take some time to honor your dreams – even if they are small ones! Think about one thing that would make life better at home & work; maybe read a book from an author who writes things differently than me (or watch them in a movie)?

What’s Next?

It’s easy to get discouraged when you’re going through a tough time, but there are ways of getting back on your feet. First off- take care of yourself by exercising and reconnecting with the things that make life worth living for yourself, not just other people! You’ll find strength in those little moments where it feels like all hope has left; keep pushing forward because this, too, shall pass eventually (and maybe sooner than expected).
