New Year's normally feels like a time of rest and reflection, a brand new start to a brand new year full of brand new adventures. It can be hard to feel that way when you are drab smack in the middle of a divorce. Divorces are a marathon, not a sprint. It is common for them to take multiple years to dot all the I's and cross all the T's. While you are waiting, here are our 5 New Year's Resolutions for anyone going through a divorce right now:

Focus On Finances

No matter what your financial situation is before getting divorced, it will be very different afterwards. Focus on getting your finances in order to create a sustainable budget and plan for the long term. It starts by determining how much dependable income you alone are bringing in every month, and then tallying up all your expenses. Cut corners where you can - you'd be surprised how much you won't even miss.

Set Your Priorities

No one makes it out of a divorce getting every single thing they wanted. Determine what is most important to you, and where you are unwilling to compromise. Is it custody of your children? Staying in your house? Keeping the family dog? No matter what it is, identify your number one priority and understand that everything else is more malleable.

Celebrate Milestones

If the only time you pat yourself on the back during a divorce is when it is finally completely over, it's going to be a long, hard time for you. Celebrate little milestones along the way: telling your family, making progress in court, deleting pictures from your camera roll. Take the time to recognize how far you've come already.

Take Care of Yourself

Divorce is tough, but it shouldn't destroy you. Don't let it destroy you. Take time to care for yourself along the way. Getting good sleep and eating regularly will make everything else in your life feel so much better. Take the time to take a bath, go for a walk, or maybe watch a movie you love all by yourself. You are the most important thing, and you can't lose that along the way.
