Think about all the big situations in life and how often you have to figure things out on the fly. If only we had a rulebook that would provide clarity on the situation. But than how fun would that be if we had to live by a rulebook. Miriam and I speak on the ability to start creating your own rulebook while traveling on your journey. Maybe you settled and have regrets of the actions taken, but in your newest chapter of life you get to work to create the ending you've thought about. Remember no one knows everything, but listen and gather the tools that will benefit you on your journey. Love the process and the results will come.

Fear is a powerful emotion, but we have to be careful of the potential control within our lives. You get to choose if you're going to run or embrace the fear, but how do you want to stack your actions? Fear will always be present, so let's start embracing the fear. We are all on a journey experiencing different emotions, but coming together can ease the journey of pushing the boulder uphill.

There are times we may not want to take certain actions because of how we feel with a given situation. Miriam and I speak on the importance of gratitude, while a divorce may not be seen as a time to have an attitude of gratitude. Logically we may be frustrated or upset that we are having to journey beyond divorce, but it's key to find the seed of gratitude as there is a major chance for growth to occur. We discuss some key points on the impact of gratitude on our lives. Here is the link for the list of benefits that we discussed some on the episode https://www.happierhuman.com/benefits-of-gratitude/. Try not to fight what doesn't make sense, but look for a chance to learn and grow.

When you're ready, returning to the past can be very powerful to find the lessons you didn't understand or see before. Is it easy, at first it's not but the healing process is not always the easiest or very fun at times. Miriam discusses some recent emotions she experienced going through the baggage while discussing what she does to help work though the emotions. Sometimes our journey isn't logical, but there is always a seed of positivity in the muck.

We all have a backstory that defines a part of our journey. When you start to go back to work through your backstory, what lessons have you found that you overlooked? Lessons are necessary to create growth, but are you ready to go back in the muck? On this episode, Scott discusses how the start of the divorce journey forced him to take responsibility for his actions, but it took time to be able to look through the frustration of the past. We all have emotions to deal with, but don't let those emotions and situation define who you are.

How often do you find yourself getting upset about an event that happened in the past? What defines who you are as an individual, the event or your outlook on the situation? There is an African proverb that states if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. My co-host, Miriam, and I want to create a tribe that works together to get through the journey after divorce. We all have our own experiences, but hearing from others and listening can help make the journey a bit easier to travel.
