Things to Do and Not to Do on Your First Post-Divorce Valentine’s Day
Sometimes the blues come around unexpectedly after a divorce. But there are certain times of the year that can be more painful than others if some advance planning is not taken care of. Whatever you do, do not sit home alone feeling sorry for yourself. The following do’s and don’ts are recommendations of Tina Tessina, Ph.D., a licensed psychotherapist who has authored 11 books including Money, Sex, and Kids:
Do
- Make plans well in advance of Valentine’s Day that include having your best friends around you.
- Send personal Valentine notes/cards to all who mean the world to you.
- Be certain about what it takes to make Valentine’s Day special to you, and you will not pity yourself.
- Plan an activity like skiing or skating with friends.
- Go to a play or sporting event like a basketball game.
- Take advantage of the day to try something new that does not remind you of the past.
- Use your own energy to help others in need such as helping out at a shelter. This will give you added perspective on your own life.
