What is the Road Through Recovery?8:18
After completing this lecture and journaling answers to my "deep thinking" questions, you will better understand how you are dealing with the feelings surrounding your divorce.
I've created a Daily Empowerment Routine Log for you to implement as a self-care component, as you work through this course.
Its purpose is to help reinforce healthy habits and a good daily routine as you work through this course. It will also create more harmony and balance of mind, body, and spirit.

Where Are You Within The Divorce Recovery Cycle?13:15
In Lecture Two, you will learn about the five phases within the Divorce Recovery Cycle. They are Rejection, Resentment, Renegotiation, Remorse, and Reality.
You will learn about the feelings, emotions, and limiting beliefs that are associated with each of the phases so that you begin to get an area of where you may be stuck or in pain within it.
You are stuck somewhere or you would be getting better results in your life and would leave part of the past behind. This is when you can begin to create a life you would love living for the future.
Complete the Personal Reflections Questionnaire. It is designed to get you thinking from a more open perspective. Answer the questions from a deep, reflective place inside of you and from the heart with honesty and frankness.

Which Case Study Example Resonates With You?17:43
In Lecture Three you learn about women, like us, who were stuck in each of the phases. There's a short synopsis of their situation, why they were stuck, and the actions they take to move past the phase. In this way, you have a clear understanding of the feelings, emotions, and limiting beliefs that hold each woman back from moving forward after divorce.
I created a 30-day reflections journal, Listen To Your Inner Voice, Create Your Outer Vision. using it in conjunction with your Daily Empowerment Routine Log, you have another tool to start the day with opening your mind to opportunities, possibilities, and personal growth.

How To Pinpoint The Pain Point Statement Within A Phase8:07
In the lecture, you'll learn how to figure out which statement within a phase is the best one to create a plan of action for. If you have more than one statement in a phase that you struggle to overcome, you will discover how to choose the one that will make the most positive impact within that phase. In other words, choosing the right statement will most likely cancel out all the other "0" statements within that phase.
Once you know the statement that will give the most positive results, you will brainstorm action steps to take on Pinpoint Pain Point Self Assessment. Then, you have a plan of action to move you past the Road Through Recovery; and thereby breaking up with the past. You'll begin to create a life you would love living for the future.
If you need help in creating a goal plan or don't know how and where to begin, my next course, Ramping Up, will take you step-by-step through that process.

Requirements

Divorced but ready to break through the past by learning how to overcome conflicted feelings and limiting beliefs so that embrace a new beginning and create a new life on your own terms.

Description

Many divorced women remain victims of their past. Instead of taking responsibility for where they are now. Some continue to stay "stuck" waiting for something or someone to come along to show them the way forward. They become complacent because they don't know what to do, or what it takes to break free from what is holding them back. Living the same routine every day and holding everything together every day is just settling and not success.

I get it, I was where you are now.

Your life is different now and so are you. Fear of the unknown sets in as you adapt and adjust because some of your roles and identity have change. You feel longing and discontent not knowing how to break up with the past that gets in the way of focusing your mind and taking specific right actions to move you forward.

What is worse is that getting divorced leaves you with the possibility of other devastating challenges you may not be adequately prepared to handle and overcome. Downsizing and changing family and friend dynamics are two that come to mind.

There is a cycle of recovering and healing called the Divorce Recovery Cycle. In the Divorce Recovery Cycle, you will be able to discover exactly where you are stuck or in pain. The cycle is composed of five phases which examine conflicted feelings, emotions, and limiting beliefs that you currently are experiencing. It is within one of these phases where you are feeling overwhelming challenges or struggles; otherwise, you would be moving on and creating a life you would love living for the future.

By not examining your conflicted feelings, emotions, and limiting beliefs, you risk not growing into the person you are meant to be now. You risk not experiencing new relationships, adventures, and journeys that a forward moving life creates. You risk feeling longing and discontent spending time in a life that isn't fulfilling and bringing you joy. The same actions over and over create the same results over and over.

In order to change your life without, you need to change your life within. This course will show you how.

This course will guide you on how Break Up With The Past, and learn how to build a relationship with believing, building and becoming your new vision for the future.
