Moving on after a divorce may seem impossible. However, you shouldn't get stuck in the grieving phase to avoid depression.

Psychologists believe that it is important to take conscious action to get through this difficult and painful process. Experts say that certain steps can help you survive this period and start a new life. They advise you to focus on yourself, your interests, and surround yourself with supportive people. Here are some important recommendations to consider.

1. Get in touch with friends and family who care about you. Their support will help you not to feel alone during this difficult time. Share your feelings and let them support you.

2. Consider taking a trip. A change of scenery can help you get away and see the situation from a different perspective. This can be a positive step forward.

3. Consulting with a psychologist or therapist can give you a sense of security and help you deal with your emotions. A professional can give you valuable advice and refer you to treatment.

4. Remove your ex-partner from social media and avoid contact with them for a while. This will help you both recover and adapt to a new stage of life.

5. Throw away or get rid of things that remind you of past relationships. This will help reduce emotional stress and gradually move on from the past.

6. Don't rush into a new relationship. Give yourself time for recovery and self-discovery. Focus on your interests and hobbies.

7. Take care of your body and mind. Proper nutrition, physical activity, and rest will help you feel better and recover faster.

8. Analyze your past relationships. Think about the positive and negative aspects. This will help you draw conclusions and become better in future relationships.

9. Focus your energy on new goals. Whether it's personal growth, a career, or new hobbies, having a goal will help you feel needed and energized.

10. Discover your interests and strengths. Strengthening your sense of self-worth will give you the strength to take further action.

11. Surround yourself with positive people, books, and podcasts. This will help you shift your focus to the brighter moments of life.

12. Spend time every day thinking about what you are grateful for. This will help you change your perspective and find joy even in difficult times.
