Here are three things that I would never do as someone divorcing in their 40s, 50s or 60s. 1. I would never rush into a new relationship out of loneliness. It can be very easy and very tempting when you’re looking for some validation after a break up. The loneliness will pass. I promise. 2. I would never make big life decisions when you are hurting or when your nervous system is super dysregulated. Think making major moves or leaving a career/job. Wait until your body feels safe again. It will.
