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.

I absolutely believe that Brown Family Law is the best divorce attorney law firm in Utah. Attorney Ray Hingson did a fantastic job for me in a complicated divorce. He was there to guide me through the entire process. Ray touched base with me every week AND every time I called with worries or concerns. He handled things confidently and professionally. He took time to meet with me and explain everything so I could understand it. I felt like he really cared and wanted to do his best for me. His paralegal, Carren Leavitt, was also extremely helpful. All I had to do was pick up the phone and call her and she arranged a time for Ray to call me right back. She was always prompt and caring. I couldn't be happier!
Anne and Josh are Fantastic!!

Leilani Whitmer was my attorney for mediation day at the provo 4th district court on May 9th and absolutely knocked it out of the park. She made the process so smooth and easy I'd recommend her for any family law issue you could possibly fathom.
Clay Randle is absolutely amazing, well educated, knowledgeable lawyer. He’s approached, always makes sure you’re on the top of the situation and very helpful. I’ve had a pleasure working with him and I recommend him as your top notch attorney.
