Mental and physical health go hand-in-hand especially in divorce. This daily activity takes care of both.
Most people who manage to overcome their divorce and build a happier and healthier life cite working out as one of the first things they did post-divorce in getting on the road to recovery. For Dr. Judith Tutin that activity can be summed up in one word: yoga.
“About 10 years ago a friend invited me to a yoga class. Just divorced I was feeling open to new things. Yoga was really not something I'd considered before but I didn't evaluate it overthink it or analyze it to death. I just went. It was my first lesson” she wrote in a recent piece for YourTango.
Like Tutin online divorce site OnlineDivorceReview (ODR) believes the benefits of yoga are all-encompassing for the marriage-weary.
“Working out boosts endorphins and makes you feel much better mentally over time but simply throwing around weights or running six miles a day doesn’t have the same effect as yoga” a spokesperson for the site explained. “That’s because it doesn’t emphasize balance. It’s something you have to dress up for and go do. Yoga teaches you how to connect mind and body so they feed off each other around the clock.”
Some of the positive benefits that ODR points out as being unique to yoga include the following.
Shedding Negative Or Cloudy Thoughts
According to the site yoga can give the participant clarity of mind something very much needed when there are so many moving parts and frustrations like what is found when going through a divorce.
“It allows you to live and breathe in the now” the spokesperson explained. “There’s no worrying about this or that or what your crazed ex is going to pull next. It’s just you in your head and your surroundings achieving a deeper focus.”
Endurance
Yoga isn’t all about rest ODR notes pointing out that many of the physical poses that the activity forces the participant to endure can be challenging but the mind clarity and focus allows one to endure. “There’s a lesson in that” explains the ODR spokesperson. “That lesson is that ‘this too shall pass.’ You’re stronger than you think you are in body and especially mind.”
Learning to Re-Trust Commitment
Divorce can do a number on one’s ability to trust according to ODR but yoga is one of the rare physical activities that actually allows you to address this issue. “You can’t do yoga without showing up and achieving that core balance of physical strength and mental clarity time and time again” said the spokesperson. “As you do it more and see the benefits you’ll start to look at commitment as a positive instead of a negative and that can help you readjust to future relationships more quickly.”
To sum up ODR places strong emphasis on a divorce fitness routine during and after the papers are final. While yoga doesn’t have to be a divorcee’s go-to it can certainly help one work on both wellness areas at a crucial time.
