GREAT RELAXATION TIP:  S-T-R-E-T-C-H  INTO A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP



Divorce is inherently stressful.  Your family, friends, coworkers and doctor will tell you to eat right, exercise, meditate, drink plenty of water and get a good night's sleep. After a day of juggling work, kids, appointments with your mediator or attorney, and the general feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger or depression that accompany the divorce process, getting a good night's sleep is easier said than done.  

Here is something I found on the Huffington Post website. It's a short article/video about a simple stretch to do before bedtime, designed especially for people who work at a desk, but will work for anyone trying to get some sleep. The idea is to lengthen the muscle that runs down the front of your upper leg, allowing for deeper breathing, resulting in a deeper sleep. 

Check this out:  Huffington Post - stretch.

Rest well.

I think that divorce could be avoided by simply knowing all the bad and the good about a person before you make a commitment. Most of the time its because of someone has acted a certain way to impress someone and then when married they will change back to who they are within a couple years. I think that if people would just be more careful about who they talk to and what they learn about others it would help eliminate divorce. http://www.kelmreuter.com/practice-areas/family-law/

You're right. Getting a good night's sleep is very important when going through a divorce. My brother told me that when he went through his divorce it was the most stressful things he has ever done. Eating right, getting exercise, and resting are some of the best things you can do to prevent your divorce from becoming too overwhelming. http://www.garrettandsilvey.com/family_law.html

My friend is going through a really hard time and is looking for a family lawyer. She doesn't have a lot of time due to the situation she is going through. I'm trying to help her as much as I can. Do you have any suggestions on where I can find a lawyer for her? http://www.phillipsmithattorney.com/Probate-Law-Terre-Haute-IN.html

Divorce is so inherently ugly, and can make you feel so lonely and broken. Having a good lawyer in your corner does not fix this, but it does go a long way towards relieving some of the stress. I think besides having a good lawyer the other key is patience, and letting that lawyer do their job, which takes tim

Taking care of yourself during the divorce process is key to keeping you sane. Getting adequate rest is a big part of that. Thanks for the informative article.

My parents got divorced when I turned 20. It was hard on all the family. My younger brother has a really hard time accepting it. I am glad that through family law mediation the process was fast and smooth. I wouldn't of had it any other way. It helped us face the problem and get over it faster than usual. http://jcohenmediation.com/business-commercial-mediation/

I am very thankful that my wive and I have a strong relationship that I am confident will never break. It sounds like a messy process to ever figuring out who gets the dog. I definitely see the need for mediation now. http://spauldingandkitzler.com/Domestic-Violence/

My wife and I have finally decided to go our separate ways. We don't have a lot of assets, so mediation sounds like it might work for us. I am going to hire attorney in case any surprises arise. Unless he suggests otherwise, I think mediation is the route we will choose. Thank you for the information.

The days before and after a divorce are extremely stressful. It is easy to forget to take care of yourself with rest, proper diet, and some exercise. Taking time to slow down and relax is hard, but it's worth it. It's no surprise that a family lawyer website has tips about relaxation on it. prestonlaw.com.au

Dom Boyd - you are so right. The stress of a divorce will sap you physically. Ironically, this is when you need to be most vigilant, at exactly the time when your energy is at an all-time low!
