Now that it is spring and the summer is fast approaching, you may be invited to one or several weddings. If you have recently gotten divorced and this is your first wedding season single, you may be nervous about going to a wedding solo and unsure of how to RSVP to the weddings invitations you receive. Here are several wedding season tips that are sure to make wedding season an enjoyable rather than dreadful time for you.

1. RSVP Yes

It may be tempting for you to RSVP no. However, doing so can lead to social isolation and loneliness. You were invited to a wedding because a couple wants you to witness their special day so you should be there for them if you are able to. By attending a wedding, you can surround yourself with happy people and have a great time.

If you are going through a divorce, you may wonder how it will affect your work life. There are certain tips that can help you be productive at work and ensure that your personal life does not get in the way of your performance. Here are four tips for working while going through a divorce.

1. Avoid Oversharing

When telling your boss and co-workers about your divorce, you should avoid oversharing personal details and explaining why your marriage did not work. Simply let them know how your divorce will impact your job and duties. You can provide them with a list of dates and times that you will have to miss work due to divorce commitments and let them know whether you will need additional help completing your duties.

If you are going through a divorce, your life may be stressful. The tension between you and your spouse paired with the financial challenges and changes in your family dynamic can be very difficult. Fortunately, there are several ways you can deal with the stress of divorce and improve your overall quality of life. Here are five tips we recommend for reducing the stress levels of divorce:

1. Exercise Regularly

Although working out may be the last thing on your mind, it can keep your weight in check and boost your mood. Exercise can release endorphins which are chemicals that trigger positive feelings so it is important that you take a yoga class, go for a swim, walk around your neighborhood, and engage in any other physical activity that you enjoy

Dating after a divorce can signify that you have healed from all the pain and heartbreak and are ready for the next chapter of your life with someone new. After ending a marriage, you may wonder when you will be ready to date again. Here are five signs that may indicate it is time for you to enter the dating world:

1. You know what you are looking for.

Your divorce has likely taught you what types of qualities you are looking for in a new partner. If you have a clear understanding of what you are looking for and have learned from your past relationship, you will be in greater control of your future when you date again.

Divorce can be a lengthy, difficult process, and by the time you and your ex-spouse go to court to enter your final divorce decree, you are likely ready to move on to the next phase of your life. However, this is often easier said than done. Disentangling yourself from a partnership that defined your life during the years of your marriage can be a complicated, emotionally draining process, and once you do so, you may feel adrift. But by following the tips below, you can not only make it through this difficult time, you can become even stronger:

1. Take care of yourself. Make sure to practice self-care, taking at least a few minutes each day to do something you enjoy. Maintaining your health and appearance might be the last thing on your mind, but taking care of your body by getting some exercise and spending time for yourself can help you establish a routine that will allow you to move forward as you restructure your life.
