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.

David and Dani were very helpful and made my case as stress free as possible.
Great Team. Efficient and smooth process. Excellent communication. Thank you David Hunt.
I’m so grateful for attorney Nicholas Schwarz and paralegal Carren Leavitt at Brown Family Law. From day one, they were ready to work with me immediately, making my case feel like a top priority. Their organization is exceptional, every detail was handled with care and efficiency. Most importantly, their commitment to communication stood out. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered questions promptly, and made sure I fully understood my options.

If you want a legal team that is proactive, organized, and truly dedicated to their clients, I highly recommend Nicholas and Carren at Brown Family Law.

Loved working with Daniel and the whole team. Great service.
Marco and his team at Brown Family Law have created nearly the perfect system for getting divorced in Utah. From the initial intake, to gathering all of the necessary documentation, to the client communication in between. There is so much work that goes into getting divorced, but with Marco and his team you'll always know where you are in the process and what happens next, which is such a comfort. Would highly recommend.
I would give them 10 stars if I could. Clay was professional and super organized. He took the time to explain everything. I would highly recommend him for any family law needed. Melanie was a godsend. She not only kept me continually informed of the progress, she sent texts of encouragement and support throughout the entire process. I would give her 100 stars for going above and beyond to make this experience less stressful. Her encouragement and genuine caring were comforting and calming. The entire staff at Brown Law are on your side and if you are lucky enough to get Clay and Melanie on your team you will not be disappointed. Thanks! Mack M.
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you so much. Melanie is great. Glad she helped you so well.
Nathaniel was an incredible partner throughout the divorce process. He was organized, responsive and respectful of my wishes while simultaneously giving me guidance and advice. I would recommend him to anyone.
