Welcome to Friday Flip on the Becoming You Again podcast. Every Friday I take your divorce problems, conundrums and questions and do a quick flip around to empower you to show up as the best you after divorce.
Welcome back to Friday Flip. Today’s question is from Lily. She says, “I have no idea who I want to be after my divorce. I feel like I’m barely surviving but I want my life to be more than that, to mean more than that. How do I know what to strive for or what my life is supposed to look like?”
Thanks for your question Lily. I’ll tell you what I tell my clients and anyone else who comes to me asking this same thing, you are in a really cool place to be, because you are in a place where you get to be curious on purpose. Curious about yourself; curious about what interests you, curious about what excites you, what success means, what you’re striving for and what you want you life to look like.
This might seem daunting but that’s probably because you think you have to have it all figured out now or that there’s a right and wrong answer to these questions. But you don’t have to figure it all out today. You actually have an entire lifetime to figure it out. And there is no right or wrong answer to any of it. You get to make it up and decide for yourself.
It might also feel a little daunting because you’ve never actually allowed yourself to get curious about your own wants and needs before. I know for me, I hadn’t really done that while I was married, and with my divorce I saw so much possibility for myself and my life that was in front of me. Try things out. See what you like. Give yourself permission to explore and to question; to evolve and grow. Ask yourself some of these questions. If you could choose anything in life to go after or create what would it be? What have you always secretly wanted to do but were too afraid to try or even tell anyone? What does success mean to you? What do you want your life to look like, best case scenario? Ask yourself these questions or some you come up with on your own and then go exploring and see what you come up with.
Thanks for your question Lily. I hope you have fun with this. I’ll be back next week.
