Divorced Professionals:
Are you struggling to meet the demands of your everyday life, from work to family, not to mention relationships?
Many newly divorced professionals are struggling to balance the needs of career advancement, parenting, and relationships.It can sometimes feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Professionals like you are overwhelmed by the demands yet still feel guilty that they don’t do more. I know these feelings first-hand because, as a divorced professional myself, I have felt these same pressures.
Back on track and enjoying life to the fullest
Imagine that you feel balanced in your life. You are advancing in your career, your kids are getting the attention they need, and you feel good about the relationships in your life. You know that you are giving enough to the demands of others and you have enough energy for yourself. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, you feel in control and ready to explore what the world has to offer.
So why are you so overwhelmed? You have had a major change in your life: divorce. It has changed everything about how you approach life. You have schedules to keep, and now there’s less time and energy to give everything the attention it needs. You know you are taking on more than can handle, so you juggle. But with the juggle comes a fear, a fear that you know is real, that all the balls will come crashing down. You so desperately want to get it all under control – but how do you do it? Where’s the time to make that happen?
You need look at the big picture of your life. After a divorce, so many people want to make everything perfect in their lives. But you are straining so hard to make that happen, that you just aren’t happy. According to Dr. Ben-Shahar, author of “Happier” and “The Pursuit of Perfect”:
…the pursuit of “perfect” may actually be the number-one obstacle to finding happiness
According to the American Psychological Association, “Life in a single parent household — though common — can be quite stressful for the adult and the children.”
