3 Tips to Help You De-Stress During Divorce
Every divorce is different, and some are more stressful than others are. You can use these three tips to decompress and help yourself stay a little more centered during the process:
- Keep a journal.
- Get more than enough exercise.
- Talk to a therapist or counselor.
Let’s take a closer look at each of these.

#1. Keep a Journal.
A journal can do more than bust stress, too. It can help you create a record of events that could help your attorney. For example, if your ex was supposed to pick up your children and didn’t show up, you can put it in your journal – and when your lawyer needs a list of times and dates when things like that have happened, you have a source to refer back to.
The key is privacy, though. You don’t want to publicly share any information that could hurt your case or get in the way of what your lawyer is doing to preserve your rights during your divorce.

#2. Get More Than Enough Exercise.
You should always talk to your doctor before you start an exercise program to make sure it’s the right one for you.

#3. Talk to a Therapist or Counselor.
Remember, too, that even if you’re not under a tremendous amount of stress or pressure, talking to a counselor can only help – so it may be a good idea to schedule an appointment with someone just to open the lines of communication with someone you can trust. Kids can benefit from talking to a counselor or therapist, too, so you may want to consider getting them help, too.
Your attorney can help you find a divorce counselor or therapist if you don’t already know one.
