Sheva and Noam’s Tips For Resiliency in Divorce

1. Investigate your perspective on failure. Did you fail? What went wrong and how can you use it to launch from there?
2. Cultivate a sense of hope. Don’t dwell in the experience, and ask what moment of hope can you focus on instead.
3. Adjust your boundaries as necessary. Which ones do you need to tighten and which can you loosen?
4. At least 1 ally- You will need at least 1 person in your corner beside your lawyer.
5. Get Moving! Music and Exercise can help remind you how capably you are and how you can get past challenges. This may also help interrupt unhealthy mental feedback loops and cognitive distortions we face.
