New year new me

[Shandybass]

I know it’s a little premature but I feel I need to take a positive step forward and start now.
I separated fairly agreeably from dh 7 months ago. He has moved on within a month and is happy and serious with his new partner.
The children have also managed the whole situation brilliantly and are really ok.
It’s now time for me. I’ve been pretty victim like and felt pretty bad, grieving for what was or what could have been. But enough I need to think of my new future.
Can you help me, handhold, ideas, motivation to the new more positive me and anyone else who feels similar. One step forward here we go.

I'm in the same boat. The emotional rollercoaster of it all was something I hadn't quite expected. The new year has quite a big symbolic meaning for me also - a time to move on from what has been, and look to the future. I don't think I've been truly happy or settled for some time.

My problem is that I don't get much time to myself but I'm starting with making my home my own... tackling little things as and when I can.

What about classes/groups/meet-ups - it's a good time to start a new hobby/interest.

Yes I really want to go back to choir singing, so I’m going to look into that. Also I’d love to play in a team sport. Inspired by Sports Personality of the Year, I love exercising as a team but most things are not set up like this.
And yes Claudia making your home your own us a good one start with one thing every week because if your like me there’s never time or energy for a big job, bt if you make some steps every week things will change.

I feel that decluttering and DIY is the way to feeling better for even an hour before the misery comes back. My resolution is to feel happy in my home & invite friends to stay before considering dating.
