If you got a divorce, you may still be trying to navigate some pretty complicated waters as you attempt to make a new life for yourself and your family. This is rarely an easy process for the recently divorced, but we can tell you that with a little self-reflection and a positive outlook on the road ahead, you can get where you’re going much faster than it may seem right now.
And perhaps one of the best places to start is by setting a few New Year’s resolutions.
No, we’re not talking about the typical resolutions you and the rest of us likely set during the first few weeks of the new year (eat better, drink less, lose weight, save money, get organized, etc.). We’re talking about resolutions that lead to sustainable goals for someone who wants to be the person they deserve to be moving forward after divorce. Here are a few to help get you started.
17 New Year’s Resolutions for the Recently Divorced
