Post-Divorce Vacation: Why you Absolutely Should Do it
You’ve been eating stress for breakfast for way too long now
It’s time to unwind and take a moment for yourselves. This is obviously a bit more difficult to do if you have children, but if you can— take a week, or a weekend, to yourself. Use this trying time in your life as an excuse to be a little bit selfish.
Where should I go?
To your happy place, or somewhere you’ve always wanted to see. Obviously, budget is a factor. So, set your budget and plan from there. Maybe your happy place is a beach in California, eating In n’ Out in a bathing suit. Go for it! Take your friends, make a good memory out of this time. When you look back in a few years, do you want to remember your year for a divorce? Or for a divorce, but also a great little get away.
You need to recalibrate
The best thing about a vacation is that you only have time on your hands. Use some of that time to clear your mind and make a plan. What’s step one when you get home? What’s step two? Write it all down, anything you might want to do and take these few days to relax before you get down to it.
You need a little sunshine after all the rain
It’s a silly, stereotypical thing to say. But, we all go through seasons in life. You’re coming out of a pretty tough one, so it’s not a bad thing to want to make yourself feel a little better. If you can do it with good friends around you? Even better. The point is, it’s time to make a little something all about you. We wish you luck as you move forward and move on.
