There comes a time in every dissolution of a marriage (okay let’s just call it what it is, the big D, Divorce) that you turn from the emotional heart break to the power ballad. If you don’t switch from depression to strength, your divorce will take a lot out of you. There are many turning moments that can go either way. You can lay down, let the divorce drown you in sorrow, or you can use it as a building block to rise above the pain and heartbreak. When you hit that pivotal moment, it’s time to use it to your advantage. Hit the treadmill, take a road trip, or begin training for a marathon. Change is coming whether you like it or not. The best way to get over a divorce is to let it change you for the better. Here’s a playlist that will boost you over the hump, and get you into the mood for change:
