How do you regain control of your life after a divorce?

Cupid’s Advice:

After a divorce, it can seem like life has spun out of control.  Cupid has a few daily affirmations to keep in mind during your trying time:

1. Forgive yourself: Divorces are a stressful time for both parties.  Allow yourself to bring closure to one chapter in your life and look forward to the beginning of new opportunities.

2. Self-confidence: There are things you can’t control, but your mindset isn’t one of them.  There’s nothing sexier than killer confidence.

3. Set realistic goals: After getting yourself back on track, set some goals for the future, whether they be career-oriented or hosting a weekly BYOB Modern Family night with close friends.
