Divorce presents people with an opportunity for new beginnings by giving them a chance to self-reflect, pursue passions and interests, and start down different paths. People who need help with making a fresh start can contact Chicago divorce attorney Angela Larimer at 773-370-0600.


Time to Self-Reflect

Divorce gives people an opportunity to reflect on the past and use the lessons learned to improve the future.

During these self-reflection moments, one can evaluate what worked, what did not work, the role that he or she played in the successes, and the challenges experienced in the marriage. This strengthens the person's relationships with friends, family members, and future romantic partners.


Opportunity to Pursue Passions and Interests

After divorce, people often get more time to engage in the activities they enjoy doing. Individuals can pursue old hobbies and try new ones that improve their mental and physical health.

For example, a divorced person might commit to doing exercises that he or she did not have time for in the past. A newly divorced person might also find a routine that fits well into his or her lifestyle. Activities may include a morning swim routine at the local gym or attending pilates classes in the evening. Exercise helps people have healthy bodies and minds. That translates to healthier bonds with children and healthy relationships all around.

In addition to achieving emotional and physical wellbeing, pursuing fitness and other old and new interests also positively impacts people’s social lives. It provides a chance to meet new people and expand a person’s social circle in the new phase of his or her life.


License to Reinvent Oneself

Divorce affords people the chance to make decisions on their own and start down new paths. They can focus on themselves and the desires they had before getting married. Many divorcees make plans to take back control of their lives and reinvent themselves. Some of the big life plans they can make include:

  • Pursuing a new career

  • Working harder to move up the ranks in their current places of employment

  • Going back to school

  • Volunteering

The new chapter that divorce presents allows people to understand themselves better, rediscover themselves, and unleash their full potential.
