Taking Control of your Life in Divorce — Exercise

There are two primary ways people deal with divorce.

The first is by being self-destructive. (Think: drinking too much, abandoning family and friends.)

The second is by making the conscious decision to better oneself.

Let’s face it, the first is appealing (life sort of sucks during divorce) and easier, but the second is far more satisfying.

I wrote previously about taking control of your life by adjusting your morning routine. Another popular way to take control is by exercising.

Why Exercise?

I know, it seems sort of silly to suggest working through divorce with exercise, but it makes a lot of sense.

Exercise is what’s called a foundational habit. That means it’s a habit from which many other good habits and behaviors flow. When you exercise, you’re more likely to do other healthy and productive things: eat well, sleep better, drink more water, lose weight, etc.

In addition to all those good things above, exercising every day will provide you with a sense of control you might well be lacking at this point in your life. By controlling this one thing, it will give you an anchor and allow you to make other necessary changes in your life.

Now, you don’t need to exercise everyday (although that really is ideal), but at least every other day. If you exercise less than that, you’ll likely not get in the habit and you won’t exercise very often.

Suggestions for Exercises

Anything from walking to Crossfit is good enough exercise. If you’re a group person, find a workout group or go walking with friends. Whatever motivates you to stick with it is what you should do.

If you’re a solitary worker-outer (like I am), then walking or running is ideal. You also have a number of workout videos on Youtube to choose from.

And don’t worry about finding the best or most efficient workout routine. Whatever routine you stick with is the best routine for you.

Take Control

Take control of your life in divorce. If you don’t, your divorce will take control of your life.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Navigating a divorce is never easy, and I am so grateful to have had the support of attorney Nathaniel Garrabrandt and paralegal Carren Leavitt. From start to finish, they were responsive, professional, and compassionate. I really appreciated the weekly check-in Every phone call and email was answered promptly. There were moments when I needed immediate help with custody issues and protection—Nathaniel handled those situations with calm expertise and gave me the reassurance I needed during such a stressful and uncertain time.

Divorce can feel overwhelming, but having strong legal guidance made all the difference. Nathaniel and Carren provided not only the legal knowledge but also the steady support that helped me feel protected and confident moving forward. I couldn’t recommend Briwn Family Law more highly to anyone needing a reliable and caring legal team!
David Handy and his team were fantastic in helping me navigate custody time with my daughter. He gave the me reassurance and encouragement I needed with each step and I couldn't be more grateful to him! Thanks David! And to his team Candace & Brooklyn for being very helpful in keeping constant communication open. I enjoyed working with everyone!
I had a great experience. Amazing guidance and direction to best help me and my situation.
This has honestly been a first-class experience! I've gotten to work with many attorneys throughout my life and none have been as attentive as, Clay Randle has been.
