First came the love, the dream of building a family, share a lifetime. Then, for those things in life, love is gone, the desire to share life no longer exists and the divorce was the solution. Painful as expected, divorce does not need to turn what was dream into a nightmare for everyone involved. The feelings for those who live a divorce, regardless of whether the person who made the decision or not, are difficult to handle, stir with your self-esteem and it can cause trauma. The University of Arizona, through research, pointed as a way to overcome depression and anxiety caused by divorce is to have self-love.

Self-love is the combination of kindness toward oneself, understanding that losses and disruptions happen to everyone and ability to let painful emotions pass..

Although facing a divorce is something extremely complicated, there are things you can do to make it less difficult, and that will give you the best chance of achieving the best possible solutions. Anger, sadness, confusion, frustration and resentment are common and very real feelings during the divorce process. These emotions can completely weaken your thinking and your decision-making skills. They can also steal your future happiness. Humor and laughter can increase your chances of success divorce.

Here are some tips to help you during this process:

Look after yourself - You may have heard this before and did not follow this advice, thinking that this would involve a large time or commitment (for example, a new exercise program, a new diet, extra sleep, money, etc). But taking care of yourself can be simple - for example, laughing more will only make you feel better. Laugh will improve your mental, emotional and your physiological well-being.

Remember that marriage itself is not all there is in life. Even if your life was centered around your marriage while you were together, you're still a valuable human being with a purpose on this earth. You deserve to love and be loved. This is a difficult time, but you can and will get through this and find a better future.

Get to know your own strength. No matter what others suggest you to do, who have to go through this whole process. Definitely you are able to handle it!
